XD Okay, a bit more even.
And as there should be a noticeable difference between those topics with new posts and those with none (aside from the colour), what symbol would fit along with the septagram? Or would just a more drastic colour difference work (like new posts have a light version of the septagram, and non-new ones have a dark grey or something)? Seeing as how this idea was originally brought up for this issue:

I say the non-new button should have a different symbol AND a bland color, but not gray exactly. I was thinking pale blue.

How about...um.....a squiggle for the second symbol? <!-- s:geek: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_geek.gif" alt=":geek:" title="Geek" /><!-- s:geek: -->

Re: Forum/Post icons.
By my count, to cover all bases, 20 (not necessarily different) icons will be needed.

Re: Forum/Post icons.
ANYway... c.c Back to topic before you two derail it majorly;

I've nabbed Rauthiss' list of icons he posted earlier, and it's help if others could come up with ideas for the different icons. This is what we've got so far:

Not read- Septagram [Image: newtopic_septagram3.gif]
Read- [Image: notopic_icon.gif]
Popular, unread- pulsing septagram [Image: newtopic_septagram_pop.gif]
Popular, read- [Image: notopic_icon_pop.gif]
Announcement, read- [Image: notopic_icon_ann.gif]
Announcement, unread- [Image: newtopic_septagram_ann.gif]
Sticky, Read- [Image: sticky_septagram_read.gif]
Sticky, unread- [Image: newsticky_septagram.gif]
Locked, read- [Image: notopic_icon_locked.gif]
Locked, unread- [Image: newtopic_septagram_locked.gif]
"replied to by self"- unread: [Image: newtopic_septagram_replied.gif]
Replied, unread, popular- [Image: newtopic_septagram_pop_repl.gif]
Replied, read- [Image: notopic_icon_replied.gif]
Repied, read, popular- [Image: notopic_icon_replied_pop.gif]

I can edit this post as we get ideas, so we know what's going on.

Re: Forum/Post icons.
We could just, say, like, see what other kind of styles we come up with for choosing.
That's on my agenda, buddy. Hardcore STYLES.

Nice job catching the derail, Sala.

Perhaps announcement could have an exclamation point superimposed upon the septagram, and sticky could be a rotating one?

Re: Forum/Post icons.
Not read- Septagram
Read- a book
Popular, unread- pulsing septagram (this'll be easily animated, I think. Hopefully.)
Popular, read- an open book
Announcement, read- a megaphone
Announcement, unread- megaphone with a line through it like the "no smoking" sign
Sticky, Read- sitcky note
Sticky, unread- sticky note with a line through it like the "no smoking" sign
Locked, read- a lock and key
Locked, unread- a lock and key with a line through it like the "no smoking" sign
"replied to by self"- Asterisk in the corner, like normal.

My suggestions are in blue. If you want more creative stuff, give me some more time. <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->
