Hey RobA...since you're the new icon master...how about some better thread rating graphics? hehe
Maybe 5 compasses instead of stars???

I love that idea! But at the scale they would have to be, I am not sure if compasses will be really understood by some end users what they represent. This of course assumes that have not read our super lovely FAQ of which I am a member of the team.... Soo.. never mind what I said as I fully expect everyone to just read the darn FAQ, in which case they will know exactly what the new icons mean.Originally Posted by Arcana
EDIT: oh, and I bow down before the great icon master...

Original gif, antialiased against CG brown instead of the default blue:

First go at compasses (png):

hmmm did we ever decide to switch to this idea for the compasses instead of stars(and just not implemented yet) or is it still up in the air if we want to do it?
