I'm curious why the buttons were changed for the insert xxx reply box items, such as insert image, insert link, etc.?

They are difficult to make out, and without a mouseover, I wouldn't have been able to figure out what they were (well, except for maybe the email and quote). I really liked the old style better.

Do you think we will be able to just replace those gif images with the old?

I like them, also if you hover over them you see what they are for.

Oh did you mean the Quick Reply box? Sorry. Most seem self explanatory though.

Yes, I'm aware of the hover...that's how I was able to figure them out...but only because of the hover.

I'm at work and can't check this because of using IE, but doesn't the hover not work in Firefox?

Works fine in Firefox. :)

Well I suppose that's a plus...but I still don't like the new icons. :)

There weren't any icons at all in IPB 2.1.7, so it's got to be a step up?

I'm sure you can figure out what "b", "i", "u" and the emoticon button if nothing else...

Ummm, my 2.1.7 board has icons. There is a picture of the earth and a chain link for the links, a picture of a tree for the insert image and a nice addressed envelope for the email.

And yes, the others are quite obvious. :)

I agree... I could actually see what each icon is. With the new ones, I must hover.

I think all are fine except the link one which should be an earth with a chain, or just a chain, like most link buttons.

I very much prefer the old icons, they look cleaner and more intuitive. Also, clicking on an emoticon still highlights the name, it gets annoying having to click off to continue typing after inserting emoticons >_<

Also formatting, which is why I put that in my sig

l've mentioned this before, l have to wear glasses for the comp and l have a slight problem with contrast.

These buttons are hard to make out, and even when you know what they are, the Image, Link and Code ones are ridiculous, l still can't see what is actually on those buttons.

Time to return to the originals, or let us do it. Unlike 2.1 it isn't just a case of replacing the images in the /rte_images/ folder.

It's just as simple, only a different folder. style_images/1/folder_editor_images/

Its not hard clicking on the image to see what it does. Then you'll know what it does in the future. ;)

You can always change it too, so why complain?

Why is it a complaint when people express their opinion on something they don't like?

This is a feedback forum, get used to it.

For those of you who want to change them to the old style, these are the three obscure ones, replace the ones in your /style_images/*/folder_editor_images/ folder with your new ones, you may have to get rid of the old ones from your temp internet folder before you see them.




:cool:

Isn't the code one a little obscure? (By that I mean the one you provided in your post) - I actually had to right click and open the properties page on it to work out what it was for.

It's exactly the same as the old one, which was a gif with no background. I just cleared the new button and added the old one.

This -> plus this ->

Those are great! Thanks. I'll certainly be switching out the link and image ones.

Matt.. please use these. >_<

If you want the code one to look a bit cleaner you could try this ->

I did the e-mail and quote too, but the new buttons look better.

Fair enough, in that case the old one was obscure :P

To be honest I think the new code tag is more self describing than the old one - it looks quite similar to a "script" icon when you think about it...
