Bunch of new smilies & thread prefix icons

[HolyMan]

Hmmm.. went back to my UCP and it seems this thread needs a prefix banner.

Something cool like "Morrus Made"

Putting the Made under the Morrus and in Morrus's favorite colors of course.

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

Indeed. I just came here to say that, so... seconded!

The white background of the images is the most irritating part, I would say. If those were on a dark background, it would integrate into the site layout much better.

But as Morrus said, those are just temporary for now.

I agree, this change is a massive improvement. I've gone from disliking the icons to a mild indifference (and perhaps a begrudging acceptance).

It's an interesting idea. But I wonder if it could benefit from a better aesthetic approach?

Each banner graphic has different sized text in different fonts, with different backgrounds - a design "mess" if you will. None of these were meant to visually work together.

Perhaps coming up with a more unified graphic approach, as was done with the buttons across the top of the site would ease some people's reaction to them?

I second RangerWickett's call for a skin that doesn't display these.

Beyond my skill set. But if someone who knows PHP and CSS wants to devise one, I'll take a look at it.

But, as a warning, we're moving towards more consolidation of forums (getting rid of quiet ones and merging them with others), which is why these "virtual forums" will become more important. You might find your usage of the site more difficult without them.

While I am all for uniformity (and submittance to rules of order ) i think making these tags uniform would cause a problem. By that i mean, when they have different color palletes/styles, it's sort of easy to tell them apart at a glance. But once they start sharing the same colors and fonts you have to try and read each to see which is which. And if it's a lot of text, it gets harder to read on some screens/views (a couple of the tags are already hard for me to read without some effort on my screen size).

Please make an opt-out option.

Please do this. I find the thread icons at the left to be quite visually distracting, and they appear to impact load times. If we must have prefixes for sorting, I'd much prefer the old text prefixes.

I actually prefer the ad column to these icons!
