Can't remember the option but I forgot to unclick it so there is a yellow triangle before the transaction.
All that means is that you enabled "Replace-By-Fee"... this is a "Good Thing"™ Wink

It means that should your transaction get stuck with a too low fee, there is a much better chance that you can easily increase the fee without causing double spends etc. Definitely a good option to use! A pretty decent explanation of the concept is here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/faq/optin_rbf/

Plus I can't find tx ID.
Right click on the transaction in question and select.... "Details"

Help. I need to change it.   Can't figure it out.  Now it's like a clock
That just means you've got at least one confirmation, but less than 6...

Got two confirmations but what is that?  why would I use it?  Seems like sellers would think we would back out.
As explained above... it simply allows you to increase the fee. It doesn't allow you to change the address of the outputs, only the amounts. Additionally, before you get 1 confirmation, even with "non RBF" transactions, there is always the chance you could double spend... so anyone accepting ANY 0 confirmation transactions for anything is being foolish IMHO, regardless of whether or not they are marked as "Replace-By-Fee" or not.

Note to self. Do not buy on zero sleep.

The clock icon in Electrum means that it is awaiting confirmations. Electrum considers transactions fully processed after receiving six confirmations and which point you will see the green checkmark.

The yellow triangle is a warning and sometimes that will show up for transactions with low fees or other issues. You should be able to right click on the transaction and click Details to find the transaction ID.
