    Summary: Post Icons to replace the default vbulletin stock post icons. Additional custom Post Icons are added that you will need to add via the admincp &--#62;&--#62; post icons manager.


    Installation: Upload to your /icons folder. Because they come in .png format you will have to change the extension from .gif to .png in the post icon manager.

    Additional Info: The poll_posticon.png icon gets uploaded into your misc folder and not your icons folder. You may need to create a replacement variable for this icon as the default format is .gif.

    Update: Added "bug.png" 30/10/2009
    Update: Added "questionmark.png" 30/10/2009

    What do you think of them being used here on AA? Fitting or no?

    I had to see for myself how AA would look with the post icons, I might as well post the small mock-up I did. They seem clean and modern, might look good. Personally, I think it would look good.

    Sorry nick but I have to insist that you don't use them here. You deserve the best and heck if it is the death of me you'll get some 16px by 16px icons that I've been meaning to finish.

    Honestly, 16px by 16px icons are best suited. IMO but if your happy to use the larger variations by all means do so.

    Yeah, I sized down the poll icon for my other forum, probably will do for SD, but if you're releasing a 16x16 I'll wait.

    Just as a preview (bare in mind they need refining and more icons added) plus I am really un-motivated lately and haven't been in photoshop for some time this is the latest preview.

    Maybe a couple of weeks, could be a month even be a year. Preview below

    If there's any other icons that should make the pack any suggestions are welcomed. I still need to design a bulb icon and a couple of others and then we can call it a complete pack.

    A good one and the one were waiting to add is a question marked icon, that would help top this set off.

    I'd love to use them here, but if you think they are too big, then I won't. I'll set aside some time and resize them. :)

    I would just use these for the time being. Once the others are complete I'll let you know nick.

    I wouldn't re-size them because this would result in a loss of quality.

    @ Michael - I'll add the question mark icon in the first post in this thread tonight.

    Thanks for these Shelley. The bug icon shown in the screen shot is missing from the package though.
