What does the " ^ " mean in front of a post?

I'm starting to see a "^ " in front of a bunch of posts but have no clue what it means.

Re: What does the " ^ " mean in front of a post?

  • I think it means home related :)

    Haha!  I saw them on MoneyMatters and thought "Gee, there are a lot of D&R posts on here!"

  • Yeah, it started as a joke, mocking the @ for baby-related posts, but then people actually started using it.

  • Wait, what? That's supposed to look like a roof? That's obscure. Is the @ supposed to look like a pregnant belly or something?

    This is one of those things that makes newbies feel out of the loop.

  • I haven't seen it on this forum, but I know on another forum I frequent, people will use ^ to refer to the comment above theirs (popular on boards that do not have a "quote" function).

    I am sorry you feel this way. I think MM is a pretty welcoming board, and we are happy to tell newbies what the symbols mean if they ask.
