Do you use forum icons?

[ThorstenA]

I wonder if you use Forum Post Icons icons :) Icons you can choose for a topic if you create a new thread. I am thinking of turning them all of, since I wonder if they give any information at all.

You mean the "old post, new post, closed forum" and the "custom forum icons" ?

Yes, .. of course I use them.

I was thinking of forum post icons. Icons you can choose for a topic if you create a new thread. You can turn them on and off for each forum. I wonder if I should turn them off generally.

[Floris]

Then yes, I use those. I take the time to think about which one I want to pick actually. I think it helps with subcon. telling people the importance of the thread.

I sometimes use them, but not very often.

I think he is referring to Post Icons.

I use them sometimes, sometimes I don't. I switched all of mine to PNG and they are pretty tight. I like em'.

If most people used them (which they don't), then they could prove useful.

I use them in my board when i have something important to post. I use the ! triangle and the light bulb.

the icons help. they are fun to use and in such a way we can express ourselves. :)

[Kinneas]

Sometimes yes. I only have the standard ones that come with vB though. I only really use the Exclamation one when I'm making an "important" thread or sticky.

[peterska2]

I very rarely use them. Some of my members use them nearly all the time though, so I would never dream of turning them off.

Yes, we use them a lot, esp as we uploaded a mess of new ones (shiny smilies) - I think we have 35? Anyhoo, they are not used as much as regular smilies, but tey do add a nice pop to a post when you want to make it standout. I highly recommend adding some to the standard list. Its very easy to do.

I use them like 1% of the time, as does my users.

They are required in two of my forums. I have code at the top of those forums to filter the forum by those icons since they are kinda used like Prefixes would be used.

They are useless to me and confuse my members, I turned them off.

I also turned them off last week and had not one post about this until now :D
