In vBB there is a thread-icon which appears on threads which you have participated on.
There is just a small circle in the normal threadicon like this

instead of this

Would this be a good addition for SMF ;-)
I would welcome that, as well. I've had several requests for that previously. :)
It wouldn't actually be that hard to do, I suppose... might slow it a little but not much...
hmmmm...

I WOULD LOVE THIS!!!
yes, this is really a great idea! love it!
Easily added - just make me an icon.

ehm.. based on this theme, i'd say something like this:

Personally, I hate this dot/star thing. Why should we do it just because vB does?
I'd prefer like a voice box or something... err... bullhorn... I don't know.

Heh, or you can just put it in the same column as the information about the new post. On the board I'm a member of they got flamed arrows to tell you that you have participated on the topic.
A bullhorn would be nice, or prolly a microphone :P
here is two other versions in different colors:

Way cool!! ;D
Shouldn't it go on the folder image and not the thread icon?
Hmm.. but you're putting it on the post icon, not the thread icon... I mean one with a folder behind it.

I know I've seen that person before. We can't violate copyrights.
If this is to be done, it needs to be for:

I think you're mistaken. This applies to the first column, which indicates the type of topic. But this thread is about the user-selectable message icon.
EDIT: Sorry, forget that last part, I missed a few posts :P
But, what if you pick a smiley for your message icon? The message icons are per post not per thread.
-[Unknown]
well, correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think that matters.. the icon that the thread-starter chooses, it the one displayed in message Index. so that's the only place it needs to be displayed..
does that make sense? :D ???
Unknown is correct. This needs to be done for the thread icons (the folders), not the message icons.

anyways, it's kinda hard to put another symbol on these (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimateweapon.net%2Ftmp%2Flocked_sticky.gif&hash=fcd2df60d3f7936c5af438ffd9eb33e58a829abb) already crowded icons ;D

The topic starter can pick what thread icon to use
QuoteThe topic starter can pick what thread icon to use
Maybe i just need to get some sleep already ;D but methinks the topic starter chooses the message icon (light bulb/thumb up/etc), not the thread icon.
< you would get something like this on the sticky-locked icon: (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimateweapon.net%2Ftmp%2Flocked_sticky2.gif&hash=539daaab08c6e5c91fcd887a49a9645c42b2de8c) ;D >
how about a little transparency:(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alnabri.net%2F02hot.gif&hash=f8240277acef747ae765faffbb5a322d4558490d) (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/Themes/default/images/thread/hotthread.gif)
or a plus mark:(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alnabri.net%2F01hot.gif&hash=e1ef9d31aaaae3f4c38031ea84db283da2c3483c) (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/Themes/default/images/thread/hotthread.gif)
The latter one would be absolutely perfect. Don't take up much space and it's easy to understand. The transparent wouldn't work in all the browsers. And who can make a copyright of a + sign?
Guys, this is why it isn't being done for all states. If the thread is locked or sticky it will not be done.
why not just change the [new] icon when its a thread one has participate in

Then what about a thread you have read?
no need to show anything, since there's no new replies anyway :P
if you still want to show something, just put a new image beside the [new] icon, will be easier than changing message icon, or topic icon

Something has to be shown even in threads that have been read. ;)
so, why not place an icon in front of the subject line if it applies?
like this:

I think the replacing the folder icon is a little more subtle, and looks cleaner.

Yes, idd, think that would be better... It's getting a bit messy like this... :-X
ok, here's my first attempt...
tell me what you think

Note that they're bigger (22x22px) than the standard YSE/SMF one's, otherwise they would be too messy.
Nice.
I should remove the treadicons "Sticky Poll", "Locked Sticky Topic" and "Locked Poll" from the legends on the index-pages. Users are smart enough to understand that a poll icon with a lock means a closed poll.
The more buttons, icons and links are on each page, the more it's hard to use SMF for newbies.
If the icons will not be removed, add an icon "locked sticky poll" :P

You could just bold the subject link text.

Interesting, until someone's theme has all links already bold. ;)
The legend can easily be removed with the template system.
I was hoping NOT to get a whole new query PER topic. At least just one extra query... I'm playing with how to do this.

i think we should stick with the thread icon.. here's my first set..

Well, this set is not going to be used for the current SMF theme, it's just to show the different types of thread icons that may be needed. Other than that, this set is just for my own theme i'm going to create when SMF is released.
So in fact, for me, it IS final ;)
You forgot "Stciky Poll"...

Yes, and "sticky very hot locked poll with participation", and "sticky hot locked poll with participation"and so on... ;D
If I made all possible combinations, there would be 30 icons... that's a little bit too much, don't you think? ;)
But if "sticky poll is realy nessescary, i'll make them too tonight ;)
Well, I added that $threadclass... I think it's the only new one you don't have on there...

I don't see the sense in showing participation once a thread is locked.

I often like to know if I posted in a thread that was locked. If it was locked since I last saw it, if I posted in it normally I will go read and see why. If I hadn't I won't.
Quote from: Seph|roth on August 08, 2003, 04:02:10 AM

That's the best option. I don't want to search these icons for another symbol that indicates my posts ::)...
I think Sep|roth is right...
And another reason why i think his idea is good: the Threadicon normally shows the status of the thread... locked/hot/sticky/poll .... if someone has participated in this thread is in my opinion a different kind of information.... so i think its a good idea to put the icon in front of the subject...

This can easily be done with the template system. (man, I should like copy and paste that, shouldn't I?)

No, it would be nice if the "Team" knows a little bit more about the features of SMF or the possibilities. I didn't read anything about it.
I won't ask someone 84 times a day if SMF supports this and that ::).
Actually, stuff like this is clearly posted.
-[Unknown]
Thanks for implementing this function ;)
I think this request is applied can be made non-sticky :)
