Huh? What do you mean?
Thread icons are confusing.

No, look under each posters avatar. Those are the awards.
Because Hot threads and Hot threads with new posts have almost the same color. And BLU sux too.
so... don't think I can. Though I could always make and send one to pepper to try...I was going to make a stickybomb to replace the pushpin for sticky threads, because it would have been perfect, but I couldn't make it look good at ~12 pixels, and I think it would break the tables if it was larger and the sticky was also rated.

But uhh, the red-team red is noticeably brighter than the dulled version when they are both there. Though if more people think they need to be farther apart I could adjust it.I doubt we'll ever be giving out as many awards as that place... but bandwidth is hardly an issue, since the browser should be caching the image anyway.Notoorjus said:

The bandwith thing was just a joke, but having awards at the size of avatars is unnecessary.
All tf2 icons are almost gray on my monitor.
The bright red, blue and gray ones are all exactly the same color as they are in-game... so I'm sorta confounded as to why they seem so gray to you. The dull one I can change and make more gray, I wasn't sure what to do with it in the first place.
The two different styles I did just because it seems forums always have one for threads and one for boards, so I didn't really put thought into which is better

They are active on the forum, you probably have the old ones cached still, force a full content reload by hold shift when hitting refresh. (for firefox anyway, dunno what chrome's is)
But in-game brightness is bigger.

They were examples >;-()
Well... I was hoping for quick input but there wasn't many people in the chat, nor any of you... so I was going to post here but then things ran further than I expected... so I'm just dumping all the cars from my train of thought in here.
So here is a preview with all my ideas in the order they came. O is the current stuff. 1, 2 and 3 are various TF2 reds n blues. Then a friend suggested the gray be lighter since no-new really shouldn't stand out. That led me to the idea in column 4, which bypasses the issue of contrast entirely. Finally resulting in 5 which is my preference.
So what's the opinion on 5? Any colors in 1, 2 or 3 you'd prefer instead? The CP board red would be changed to match a changed thread red. I feel all locked threads would become paddlelock-on-gray, regardless of heat level (it's locked... not like it matters).
edit 3 weeks later: guess it wasn't very important after all!
