Same as I do - those envelopes never show that you've replied. I would expect that's intentional, as it would be rather redundant. I believe the arrow is 100% accurate where it is used.

No, my having no comment had nothing to do with that sentence, of course. I just had no comment. But since you seem to really want some...
You're right about the envelope open/closed thing, but I've never noticed. You look at those much more than I do. I don't know anything about hot post or new post colours - if the thread title is bold, I know there are new posts, and that's good enough for me.
But something you should know is that this is off-the-shelf forum software that I don't expect we're able to customize at the granular level you're talking about.
