The topic title and description says it:
In the interest of speed, I would like to have the orange icon be a bigger target
to click so you don't have to be so precise with the mouse when trying to goto last unread.

You can just resize it in a graphics program and upload your own image can't you? That's the beauty of allowing IPB to be skinned.

I can resize an image, but I haven't been able to figure out where to upload or install
the personalized image so it's displayed in place of the standard orange icon.
Can any end user of a public board do his own customization like this?

Yes, and using the replacement macros feature makes it very easy to do so.

By "end user" I meant non-admin board users.
From googling around, it appears this "replacement macros" customization is
something that is done through Admin Control Panel, not the user's "My Controls."
It sounds like I might be out of luck. :mellow:

BTW, I'm not an IPB admin. I'm just a user of scifi.com's IPB and decided to post some
suggestions from the people over there including a couple of mine. This one is mine
and sounds a bit trivial but was inspired by my having severe arthritis in my hand. <_<

Is this the right forum for this? :unsure:

The end-user cannot do something like this now. If you talk to your admin, and ask for him/her to make a special skin with larger images for you, I'm sure they'd do it. After that, IPB allows you to select each skin (per user), thus allowing you to have the larger images for "new post".

Hope that helps, wish there was more you could do :|

Hi Digi,
Okay, I see that this board has both a Skin Selector and Language pulldown on the lower left.
scifi.com doesn't have the Skin Selector, only Language.
It sounds like they would have to enable that pulldown as well.
Thanks for the reply! :))

If not, they can still set your default skin manually in the admin control panel w/o enabling this selector. :)
