Sticky Icon

First off, I'd like to say that I am loving the new forums. Some things will take some getting used to, but for the most part I'm very much enjoying the new forums.

That being said, I do have one issue I've come across so far that is a little annoying. It would be nice to have an icon for the sticky threads that differs from the regular thread icons. I understand that sticky threads stay at the top and it's just a matter of scrolling down, but there is no difference between the sticky threads and regular threads in terms of appearance.

If the words "Sticky" was in bold, this would help even slightly. But ultimately, a different icon would be nicer and more noticable.

So my suggestion is to change the icon for sticky threads




We'll see....

Definitely, the lack of an icon kinda irritated me.

Side note: I was fond of the way unread threads were highlighted in the old board...The bold text just isn't quite cutting it for me. Maybe I'm just lazy/dumb, but I'd love to have that back.

Definitely agreed on making stickied threads more visible. The current notation sucks. Not only that, but I can emulate it by putting Sticky: Thread Title in the thread title.

As well, the highlighting of threads with new responses SUCKS. They're ever so subtly bolded, and spotting them is harder than it has to be. On the old forums, a thread with new replies in it had its entire table row highlighted a different colour, making it OBVIOUS and thus much easier to spot. Please emulate that functionality here.

Yes! There definitely needs to be some indication of which threads are new (or newly responded to). The bold just doesn't work for it.

Maybe someone should throw together a consolidated thread on these types of suggestions?

I've been annoyed by this since the new boards came up, but I just noticed something...

There already is a pin icon on all of the sticky threads. It's just on the right instead of the left. I don't think that's better, especially since it's small and, for the hero boards at least, almost matches the background color.

I certainly think the thread icon for sticky threads should be replaced with a pin and the word "Sticky" should be removed. PHP is pretty customizable.
