Yellow Triangle

What does yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it next to a thread signify?

Hi raymo,

It may relate to a safety and/or critical significant characteristic on the fastener, especially if used in automotive or aerospace applications and usually is indicated on drawings to highlight special attention in process control during manufacturing or in service. For example - a fastening or test torque for a safety critical seat belt fastener or critical dimension.

Thanks everyone; yes, forum threads. Can anyone insert the triangle, or
only the original poster, and how do you do it?

Only the original poster can inset it when he posts his thread, but others can insert one to their own reply in that thread, like I just did.

You can insert an Icon when you create or post a reply.
There's a list of them just under the smilies list, just above the Submit Reply Button.

Thanks RB; As you will have almost certainly realised by now, I am about
1% up from being computer illiterate, I don't even know how to attach something to an email, other than by glueing it to the appropriate area of
my laptop's screen. I don't have a mobile phone, and have recently proudly
learned how to answer my wife's in her absence. Back in my day as a Flight Engineer I used to pass my communications to the skipper on a clay tablet.

The aircraft were easy to build in those days; the aerofoils were plentiful,
we just used to amputate Pteradactyl wings, and we had a rear facing dragon
sitting in the back to give us extra power for take off. It would of course
leave us through the rear door as soon as we were airborne, a bit like a helper engine getting a heavy train moving out of a station. Those were the days. The aircraft was a Handley Page Aerosaurus.
