The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.
This hack allows you to click on a post icon, and it will show only the threads with this particular post icon. Once this happens an unfilter button will appear, allowing the user to once again view all threads.
As for WHY someone would want this, here's an answer to that question:
Some forums use the forum icons to convey if a thread has been sufficiently answered or not, or to convey some other meaning. If a poster wants to look for unanswered threads, they could sort by the icon used for the thread.
Think of this as a poor man's thread prefix hack
