the paperclip icon thingie

Post by LinkyNStoof » Tue Mar 23, 2004 5:38 am

I hate to be always griping, but does anyone else finds the new paperclip icons for indicating file attachments rather clunky? I like the old tiny "LEV" thing better.

Not that it'll matter I suppose, usually when I see a new level posted, a few seconds later I won't be reading the forums anyway. :wink:

I'd have to agree, I liked the LEV a lot better......but then I'm 'old school' and don't like change very well. :?

We had to change the "Lev" icon, since people started posting screenshots and other attachments. So posts without a Level still had the "Lev" icon, and a more generic icon was required to avoid possible confusion.

I actually like the paper clip, although I also miss the old Lev icon. Sniff! :( Oh well, the icons, they are a-changing!

Suggestion from a Newbie?

Why not use one of the emoticons? You know like a happy face or the exclamation point. The paper clip doesn't do justice to the rest of the page, it looks a little out of place. :)

Well here's my 2 cents....

You should leave the level icon for the levels, and the paper clip for screenshots and other attatchments.

Doesn't that make more sense? You know lev=level?

We sure like to complain don't we? :roll:

Yeah, that would be best, but unfortunately I can only use one generic "attachment" icon for the entire forum. Hence the paperclip.
