If you're not seeing them yet, either clear your browser's cache, or press ctrl+F5 on every page where you still see the old icons.

What's been replaced currently:

- Who's Online icons
- PM icons
- thread icons
- post buttons and status icons

I'm pretty happy with all of them, I'm just not sure if the glare on the post buttons doesn't make them too hard to read / look at. I'm also not set on the colour yet - trying out black and blue buttons at the moment.

Well, I don't really have any problems with the 'glare' off the top of the buttons. I kinda like them, really.

Anyone else?

Got to love the pink heart for rep. :p :lol: Great job, Tal. Though I liked the old icons, the new shaded 3D buttons have a nice feel.

Well, I'm not actively opposed to the glare or anything, but it does make them harder to read. Not in an 'oh-god-my-eyes!' kind of way, just a kinda low level of 'hmm...'. I'm sure you understand what I mean seeing that you brought it up and all, so I'll just leave it at that :P

Well, that's somewhat ironic; I only just noticed 'Boo' representing the 'Who's Online' thingy a day or two ago, and now I find he's been replaced. :bad:

I kinda miss him, but I also like the new icons...now I'm a little conficted. :heh:

:thumb: Nice icons, but the font is a little weird.

I too miss Boo. He belongs here. :)

Otherwise Fine.

The thread icons are great, as I've mentioned elsewhere. Much easier to differentiate at a glance. The other ones I don't mind, but I don't even remember how they first looked on the new boards (never mind how they looked on the old one). They're good.

Most of the remaining icons throughout the boards have been replaced now as well (reputation will be redone shortly too). The ones still likely to be replaced at this point are the instant messaging (IM) icons, probably with something smaller than the current "bubble" icons. They seem a bit too large when there are 4 or 5 of them in row, but maybe that's just me...

Edit: reputation icons are redone too.

Personally I preferred the old icons, but I shall keep quiet in the face of the majority :p

I'll let our model, Disciple of The Watch, demonstrate (http://www.sorcerers.net/forums/showpost.php?p=625646&postcount=504) the new IM icons.
