Bunch of new smilies & thread prefix icons

[john112364]

Thanks - but I'm just playing around with some pics (i.e. an Erol Otus sample for Art, a snippet of Darlene's classic Greyhawk map for Cartography) in Fireworks (and an older version at that), a program designed to optimize Web graphics.
(In other words, I am so not weem!)

Does that make you a mini-Weem?

Count me as one that does not care for the new icons. They are visually distracting and make the site look too busy. I would prefer to have the ability to not display them.

If there is a different thread for complaints and concerns, feel free to move this post there.


I don't like this new feature. In the future will there be a display option to not show them? I find them hideous and distracting, and that they show up with the latest posts for each forum on the main page is especially egregious. Also, a thread I created has suddenly spawned one of these accursed mini banners for "d20system" even though I never even tagged the thread with such a distinction. Thus, while I would like the visual blight removed, I have no idea how to accomplish this and was hoping someone here could tell me how to purge it. Thank you, kind sirs.

Ditto. Way too cluttered and downright oogly.

Check the forum consolidation thread to find out why the new icons are pretty much awesome. Or just click one for a topic you're interested in. Voila - instant customized virtual forum.

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.

You can't threaten me!

I'll... I'll... continue using ENW without ever clicking on the little icons. That'll show you!

Yeah!

Oh, come on, now, it isn't that bad. Just a little click. Everyone is doing it. And the first one's free...

Here's one for a popular title around these parts...

So pretty much all the icons have already been made, but since this is a feedback thread* I think less-wide icons might be an improvement. The column for the icons is great, but it takes up a good percentage of screen real-estate. Making it thinner would leave more room for the thread titles.


*I think? Maybe it was just an announcement thread?
