What does it mean when the icon to the left of the message is flaming?
Does that mean it's a flame war, because I have seen flame wars take place in topics not marked by that and no flame wars take place in topics with it burning.

Does it mean a hot topic? That seems to be the most logical one, but am I missing something?

3. Don't listen to them. It's not flaming. It means your eyes are watering
because you have been up too long, and it only appears to be flaming. You should go to sleep.
