New Posts!
« on: August 05, 2008, 09:16:55 pm »
with most forums, a little magus sprite will represent whether or not there are any new posts, but for some reason, the general discussion forum has in text "new posts"  Is it normal for it to be text?

Its a small bug that happens when there is a new post in the sub forum but not the main forum.

Yeah, I noticed that as well...Is it a bug? Or is it just that no icon is representing sub forum new posts?

Ah, so that's what it is? It just seemed random to me, but then I didn't think subforums would use a different "new post" icon. I'll have it fixed tomorrow evening.

I vote for Magus' "thinking" sprite for new posts in sub forum, if at all possible...

I'll wait until you find and post an icon of Magus thinking then.

I was thinking more one of these two (the forward-facing one looks stupid)...

I pick the forward facing one because it matched the other to better then the side view does. The others are 1x1 this is 1x1 but yours is more 1x.75 (in magusmeter of course)

I like the side views because it's like Magus is turning away from the forum, thinking he's finished browsing, but is going, "No, wait, there's something...else..." or "I feel like I'm missing something..."

EDIT: Oh, I just noticed, but the sideways sprite would work well also because the "no new posts" icon is his back, while the "new posts" is his front...EH?!?
