I'm afraid the new icons would be harder to understand than the old ones.  Then again, I barely noticed the old ones in the first place. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/undecided.gif" alt=":-\" title="Undecided" class="smiley" />

You may also find it quite difficult to fit much of anything in the really tiny space given to the icons you're referring to. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/XD.gif" alt=":XD:" title="XD" class="smiley" />

Hey, the icons are 16x16. That's roughly lemming-sized! You could use sprites from the games, like:

Sticky topic - shimmier
Hot topic - runner
No new posts - stunned lemming
Locked topic - splatting lemming

It gets confusing when you have to combine them though, like the locked sticky at the top of this board http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/undecided.gif" alt=":-\" title="Undecided" class="smiley" />

I always did intend to do actual Lemmings icons for this forum, but I got lazy (I'm very good at being lazy)

That, and this stuff always gets broken when the forum gets upgraded.  Although I am a few revisions behind :|

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

[Mr. K]

Well, there may be security issues.  That's the thing...

I was talking about the icons! Definitely a good idea to upgrade the forums. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

You know that you have a group/Rank
over your name
Try these out for size
Fun-Appears when you reach 50 posts
Tricky,Taxing,& Mayhem - You know what happens
I would get higher quality versions but no pictures could be found with them
Super Lemming - Used the NiseSonic Font
Banned Before - Appears under your Fun, Tricky, Taxing, & Mayhem Rank/Group
Global Moderator & Administrator - Appears over the Global Morterator or Administrator's Name

Hmm, if one were to associate a skill with the 4 ratings, I would've used the builder for Taxing (since so many people complain about tediousness [how "taxing" it is on one's patience] of builder-heavy levels), and either the exploder or the nuke symbol for Mayhem (because explosion is pretty Mayhem-y isn't it?).  Not sure about Tricky--maybe the shrugging lemming (ie. right after a builder finishes building) could work, as it kind of evokes a "not-sure-what-to-do-now" feel that seems appropriate for tackling a level that is slightly tricky.
