Bunch of new smilies & thread prefix icons

[CanadienneBacon]

Morrus, I don't like the new thread smilies. They "litter" the forum thread titles, making it hard for me to pick out the threads I want to read.

Thanks!

Well, I'm just making 'em quickly in MS Paint. Not worrying about it for the moment, but once the system's fully set up and the final set of icons has been decided, graphics-oriented folks are welcome to take a stab at improving them.

Put me down for disliking the new Icons. The various colors clash with the nice black/yellow/gold scheme of the forums. I like tags, but preferred the text style that we had before.

Edit: I do like the sort feature the Icons have added. I just dislike the multi-colored mess they have turned the forum listings into.

I don't think it's a bad idea. In fact, I think it's an excellent idea.

But as they are right now they really take too much attention to themselves, and the boards are hard to read.

I'm using the default dark background and the icons are way too bright, especially the ones with a white background. I think drothgery's idea of having them with transparent background would improve them a great deal.

(And maybe an option to view them as plain text for those who dislike them.)

Giving the banners their own cell and letting the titles line up again was a great improvement.

Agreed. The banners fit much more nicely now. Looks sharp, thanks!

I still don't particularly like them, but giving the new icons their own column is a marked improvement!

As opposed to DDI Character Builder, how about just DDI, what with the VT in closed (no NDA) beta and us supposed to be getting an online L1-10 MB beta as well this month.
