Question Meaning of Kunena Category symbols and "Poll" question

Hello,

I have Kunena 5.1.19 installed on my Joomla 3.10 site.  Two questions that I cannot find an answer for in the documentation:

1. I see several symbols at the top of my "new topic" form.  A square, exclamation point, question mark, light bulb, heart, two arrows, an X, and a check mark.  What do these symbols mean?  Do they affect how the topic is prioritized or how the form (and forum) functions? 

2. My developer mentioned a "Poll" function in Kunena.  I cannot find any documentation on it. My developer cannot figure out how to set it up.  What is Poll and how do I set it up for a forum?

Many thanks for your assistance!

well, those icons will be added to your topics, not to categories, you create them here ( www.kunena.org/docs/en/manual/backend/categories/category-icons ) And you can read that of polls here ( www.kunena.org/docs/en/faq/polls )

Thanks for the links.

I should have specified "Topic Icon" not "Category symbols"

See the image I attached previously.  I am pointing to 8 symbols next to the heading "Topic icon." 

Please explain, what does each icon mean?  For example, what are the two arrows?  What do the X and Check mark mean?  How are users supposed to choose which symbol?

Thanks again for your help.

 

A little imagination would be appropriate. You can disable these symbols in the configuration if you can't imagine anything under them (Kunena configuration-> tab Frontend -> Selectable Topic Icons - set to No).
