Unknown is correct. This needs to be done for the thread icons (the folders), not the message icons.

The topic starter can pick what thread icon to use
Liverpool FC Forum with 14 million+ posts.

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:  ;D >

how about a little transparency:  

or a plus mark:  
Really sorry .. real life is demanding my full attention .. will be back soon hopefully :)

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.

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.

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

I think you are greatly over estimating the intelligence of some people on the internet :D :P

You could just bold the subject link text.
