"New" button under Active Posts

[Arbutus]

So after six months of using the "Active Topics" link up there, I finally found the little "New" button with the pawprint that shows up next to every thread.

Yeah. It's that small.

Would you be able to make that a larger graphic, perchance? And is it possible to move it to the beginning of each line, instead of squashing it between the thread title and the page-number readout?

Thanks. <3

Inform me now... where is this button?
Honestly, I can't find this thing...

The tiny little paw with 'new' beside it thats under threads with new posts.

A very useful button and I've used it ever since Arbutus pointed it out!

[Kobuk]

Arbutus: I'll pass your suggestion on to WS or Benjamin and we'll see what they say.

[Benjamin]

Ummm... I see what you mean, yeah.
The "new" button is more obvious in the default SMF theme, which I use over at furry.ca... but maybe I can come up with something more obvious for use here... like a red or yellow button or something.

If you could do that without too much trouble, I'd be quite grateful.

I wiped up a couple icons based off the current one. They should stand out more and still look good with the current theme.
Note: I believe in the actually threadlist they are vertically centered. So ignore the fact that the alignment is a bit off on these examples.

Available in three sizes!


Furry example thread-name « 1 2 ... 6 7 » in somecatagory

Are Furries really like that? « 1 2 ... 215 216 » in madeupstuff

Another nondescript thread title... « 1 2 ... 6 7 » in everywhere


Note to Benjamin and/or Whitesheperd: feel free to use these if deemed suitable. I'm happy to contribute to my favorite forum.  If these don't work for some reason, let me know and I could probably fix it. (like improper size or what-have-you )

Wow, great work Vararam

I think the smallest icon you made looks best, its a similar height to the normal font of furtopia

*pokes the thread a bit*

Pls?

I think you lost your patient there Doc.
*pulls out a stick and pokes thread intermittently.*

Squishy!

I messaged Benjamin about this, and he told me he will not be able to get anything done on this for a while at least.

[Benjamin]

I've updated it now...

[Arbutus]

Yay! It's already much easier to navigate. Thanks a lot, Benjamin.

Wow. Since the old "new" icons didn't stand out much,  I never noticed how useful they were. Or rather, how useful the feature is.

[Benjamin]

I don't hit the "new" button myself... but I do often go by it to know which threads to peek into. It certainly helps out a lot.

Is there an option to turn them off? I'm not a fan...

Is there an option to turn them off? I'm not a fan...

Or to at least make them small again.

I never used the feature before and it is a little handy seeing what threads have new posts but still, it's a bit much on the eyes.
