Keven Fox Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I wanted to address this with 2.1, but now that we're entering 2.2 I thought I'd mention that redirect forum icons show bright, as if there are 'new posts' shouldn't they be faded or something?It's just that when I look at a site with those forums I instantly think, new posts! And then realize it's a redirect link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I agree. They should be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee69 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'd like to agree here too. They should probably be updated with a different design and make sure they are dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes, they do stand out too much catching your attention.+ 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Κeith Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Isn't that the point?If I'm not mistaken, when you have a redirect forum, you're wanting to direct your visiters to a new page.Catching their attention and having them click is desired functionality. :)$point_of_thread--; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 IPB knows weather or not you have visited the site before... and weather you have read that forum.. So, why can't it set it as read... If you look at the link, it actually is listed as a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Κeith Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 That's the point.It's a link that they want you to click. Presumably, they want you to click it more than once, so why mark it as "read"?Masking the link as a forum increases clicks. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keven Fox Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Don't mean to dwell on this but what if there was no New AND no nonew colored icon at all?What I mean is, maybe have letters in lieu of an icon. Maybe LINK or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
