[UX] Unclear meaning of ?! icon

[Dullstar]

Best Guess: probably means the level has been changed since it was last solved.

Expected behavior: This icon isn't something I expect to see, so I would expect some sort of obvious way to see more information about it, either by hovering over it (e.g. tooltips), by clicking on it, or by selecting the associated level. Icons are good shorthand but ultimately users aren't psychic, so if cause and effect isn't obvious some textual explanation may be warranted.

That is what it means.

There is issue #310 that covers this problem.
I agree that the symbol is unclear.

Right, ancient UI bug.

It's a good idea to explain it in words. E.g.: When you click a level, then, in the level stats beside lix saved, we print the icon again, along with explanation of the icon. For the regular checkmark, "Solved" is enough. For the outdated icon, I don't have a snappy suggestion. "Solved an earlier version"? "You've solved an earlier version of <level title>"?

Yeah, it's a bad icon. Better would be (checkmark, question mark), not (question mark, bang). But even that's not obvious. Hmm: Checkmark with cowebs. Checkmark with stopwatch. Checkmark with hourglass, although that means waiting/computing. Checkmark with mustache. <_<;

+1 for ToolTips when hovering over a UI item. Lix already does this excellently in-game (and in the options menu!), perhaps a new UI panel can be devoted to this in the level select menus as well.
