Topic Icons

Post by John Adams » Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:30 am

Can anyone who is resourceful find me a set of "Topic Icons" for use here? They do not necessarily have to match the forum theme exactly... but can't be too gaudy as well.

Topic icons are something like a graphic image saying what the topic is about - like [REQUEST], [BUG] or [RELEASE] etc, rather than typing that into the subject bar. I cannot remember where I saw this used, but it looked pretty slick.

Any ideas?

Hmm, that's a cute little bug. :D I was originally thinking of a bar with the word [BUG] written on it (kinda like our Edit or Quote buttons in the post), but you know that might be too much. I like your idea. If you have a couple for me to try, I can throw them in and test them.

Topic Icons are optional, and I think I have them turned off now anyway because the default set is just stupid. :twisted:

Well I love to see a Off Topic general conversation and a section for members to introduce themselves.

You mean like "Introductions" and "Off Topic"? :mrgreen:

You're Welcome.
