Did y’all disable that function? I thought that a post with 15 replies or more than 150 views got a red envelope. (Example: The “Replacement Cecil” thread started by **Fenris** )

I have only seen that envelope once: I’m wondering if it has to do with the number of posts _since your last visit_, since I only saw it on a really long thread that I’d posted to early, and found again on search.
