We could benefit from new icons for Pixelation's thread types. The current ones do
nothing to describe their function and seem useless. They're generic at best.
I apologize to the creator, but this represents a massive failure in icon design. Icons are like lesser logos - they hold a meaning, they imply something, they illustrate something, etc etc.
I know the mods here are open-minded enough to realize a change might be good.
So I propose that they all be revised. If the new set is good, it'll improve the usability of the whole site. I've seen the smiley thread. Would be nice if there was a community effort made to create a new set. I've done icons sets before, it won't take much to re-do Pixelation's forum icons.
(on a related note, when you create a new post and assign the "Message Icon", right under the subject line, "thumb up" and "thumb down" are incorrect)
