Welcome!
Your thread title will appear bold when it has unread posts in it. Posting in a poll is if you want to poll people. You ask a question and give them options. They can choose any of the options and there is a graph showing how many people picked each category. A good example would be found here . Only moderators can use animated avatars. And yes, this thread does belong here.

I'm pretty sure the only time a thread title will be bold is when you have unread posts in it, same with the down arrow.

Rep- altering power is your ability to change (higher or lower) someone's reputation points. If you gave a rep in the Geek-Lounge, it doesn't count.

Your Rep Power is based: on number of posts, your reputation, and how long you have been a member.

Actually.... Everyone can use an animated avatar. Look closely at mine for a few seconds ;) (yes it's animated)

Only sponsors and moderators are supposed to have animated avatars. However sometimes normal members have them too, due to a loophole or something when they upload them. Read this . That could be out of date but it was only a few months ago dani decreased the payment amount and I assume it was updated then.
