If you're using the "prosilver" theme that is the officially supported theme with phpBB software, you'll have seen the forum icons are trying to imply a lot of information but they miss an image title that pops up on mouse-over to explain them.
So here's my attempt to explain some of them.

The Alpha theme has little square boxes whose meaning is as evasive as the meaning of life itself. Themes can be changed in Profile / User Control Panel (UCP), under board preferences.

Reason: Added 2 more icons, for navigating to newest-unread and latest comments
Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, while others merely gargle.

There are 4 boxes to use in the defence of liberty:
1) soap, 2) ballot, 3) jury, 4) ammo.
Use in that order.
