Color coding

You may want to make the color of "New Posts:
Popular" and "No New Posts: Popular" different, so people know wheter
or not it's new, or people just browse it a lot. Especially with
threads with multiple new posts.

Uhh... Those are part of theme I'm using for the forum. I can probably make a different one, but it most likely won't resemble the current ones.

I'm gonna look into tutorials for making buttons. See if I can make better looking ones eventually.

Ok, I started making new icons for the forum. My current idea is to use the power symbol and have it glow in different colors depending on if it's locked and if there's new posts, etc.

Here's an example:

This one will be used for a thread/forum with new posts. A popular thread will flash faster than this one or something like that.

Thoughts, anyone?

I think it looks cool. It kinda represents the fact that this is a video game forum. Good job! Cheerleader

I was trying to go with colors that match with the buttons and the color of the font... I can work on it later, I guess.

i think the icon thats used for announcements should be the icon used for new posts so its more obivous which topics have new posts.

Good idea, but what would represent the announcements?

Hmm... Gonna think on this for a little bit. I've got some other stuff to work on, but I'll do something about the pics soon.

Until then, any further suggestions would be great.
