The "Viewlegend - ICON LEGEND" is in fact extensive. When describing the icons, Talk19Zehn endeavoured in 2014 to provide correct, brief information for each icon.
The standard event used displays the link to the "Viewlegend - Icon Legend" in the footer and informs you, your visitors and your members about the purpose of the forum icons and the topic icons in extracts.

This extension displays forum, topic and post icons, including their meaning, in a full-page overview. The mini icons and post icons as well as the standard BBCodes can also be displayed in extracts.

Additional features:

• The visibility of the viewlegend.html can be switched if Show Mini-Viewlegend activated: This ensures a pleasant, more flexible page view.

Setting options in the ACP:

Enable Viewlegend - Additional features:
Activate Admin-Mode:
If enabled, only administrators can see the Viewlegend.
Show Mini-Viewlegend:
If activated, the mini-icons used in the respective style are displayed in excerpts and the visibility of the viewlegend.html can be switched. This ensures a pleasant, more flexible page view.

Auf Grund einer Diskussion im deutschsprachigen Support hat Talk19zehn die Viewlegend Icon-Legende überarbeitet und an dort benannte Anforderungen, wie die Migration auf v_2_4_0.php als auch das JS und wenige andere Notationen angepasst.
Aus diesen Gründen ist ein sauberes Update nötig. Das Wichtigste:

Somit müssen vorherige Versionen dieser Erweiterung vollständig gelöscht werden! Das heißt, Daten müssen sauber aus der Datenbank entfernt werden.
