CES Intelligent Dot-Threads (product ID: ces_dot_threads) was a vBulletin software plugin developed by Cracked Egg Studios, designed to improve performance in vBulletin. It was published on March 30, 2007, at vbulletin.org.
This plugin removed the separate MySQL query that was used to determine the threads in which a user had personally written posts. vBulletin uses this information to show the user an arrow or other icon, referred to as a "dot," next to those threads.
