Can't find this info anywhere so here goes.

When you click on 'View posts since last visit' a new screen comes up with the new posts. The left most column has little envelopes. Some are open, some closed, some have a triangle with an exclamation mark, there's one with a red circle and a line through it, and another that seems to have flames around it. What do these different envelopes mean?

The third column is Topics. Some of the topics have a right arrow, some don't. What do the arrows mean?

Is there a Help file I should be reading for this info?

open envelopes, which are also blue with a little paper sticking out, mean that there are unread posts. Closed envelopes mean no new posts.
Red circle indicates a topic has been locked;
yellow triangle means a sticky.
Flames mean a 'hot topic' meaning lots of folks are viewing it.

arrows, not sure...

ETA arrows also indicate new posts in that topic.
