The forum topic icons have been updated... - RealWorld forums

The fancy icons for the forums have been updated and there are 3 new ones:

There's the RealWorld Logo, mainly used as a general software icon if what you are speaking about is covered or found in more than one program.

There's a Bomb, which could be used to mark threads as spam, need a response quickly or just not needed and require deletion.

Then finally there's a beetle, which is used to signify a miscellaneous topic.

If you have questions or comments, just reply and we'll get back to you.

4 have been added:

The 'must see' (exclamation point) is used for must see topics. The 'social interaction' (smileys speaking) is used for basic commenting. The 'check-mark' is used to signify a solved or complete topic and the 'star' is used for announcements.

***THE STAR IS NOW AVAILABLE***
