Do the red/blue/green gem icons work, yes or no?
Yes, they're fine as they are. 19 (51.4%)
No, and I think we should explore other icons; whether Role's set or an alternative. 18 (48.6%)
Total Votes: 37
Topic images, should they stay or should they go?; and by go I mean change

In question are the statue gem buttons used on most of the forums to denote normal, hot, and poll topics, read and unread; the Venus Clan folders to a lesser extent.
This is just a quick opinion fish. ^^ After this topic. Don't feel like you have to justify your vote, but if you do want to clarify something feel free to post! That's what this is for, sourcing out you, the members. :3

Draco here, just chipping in with a little data from the ACP. Whatever style of images we use, they have to conform to the following types:
Plain Folder
Plain Folder (No new posts)
Hot Topic Folder
Hot Topic Folder (No new posts)
Poll Folder
Poll Folder (No new posts)
Locked Folder
Moved Folder
Replied Marker

Those are the only topic image distinctions made available in the Zetaboards control panel. Just something to keep in mind!

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

I've never had any problem with the gem icons. I like the ones Role made too, though, and wouldn't be opposed to giving them a trial run if enough people like them.

I appreciate the time Roll took to provide another option, but I think the gems are simpler, as they are just a color variant of the same image. The multiple coin images are more complicated.

I prefer the style of Role's icons. However, either way we're limited to a total nine topic markers to indicate things, as I said in my edit to the first post.

So, which of Role's icons could we plug into the forum and which ones aren't applicable? Since we only have the limited options on zetabord- these?

Good question. Whenever that's figured out, I can go to the test board and add the images to some skins so that people can take a look at what they'd be like in use.

If we do use Role's, I think Silver should be plain, and Gold should be hot topic. =D

also, there's Role's super-lightened gem option, as well.

What would you like to see, Reimu?

Death comes to all of those who oppose me.

I like them now, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I can understand wanting to give something else a try.

Maybe it's just me, but don't you think it'd be better switched around? That is, I would expect an "!" if there was something new, not something old.

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

I like the coins. The gems are too similar I think.

I'd probably put the exclamation points on the topics that do have new posts rather than the ones that don't, though.

Now see, I don't know which way to vote. I think the gems do work, so technically I should vote yes, but I would really like to see the coins instead.

I'm only saying yes because the Venus Clan skin lacks customization, and is rather bland.

Go down to ToK Eye-blindly Gold, and let us know what you think.

Drac and I tentatively picked out gold for hot topic, silver for normal, and bronze coins for poll topic, but that of course can change.
Role, you'd need to have JUST that little thing in the corner for "topics you have posted in but no new replies," it works as a separate marker.

It was to test something that I ended up never finding. -_-

EDIT: though I might be able to find it now if I searched some more, it's been quite a while since my last attempt...

Satty also tried something different on Mercury. Role, anyone else who's interested, we're happy to try different things there and give them a test run. ^_^
