New To HF?

Granted the image does help new members, But I know for a fact this could be done a lot neater and cleaner with single images.

Example:

This icon is in the first icon above the category tabs, on the left-hand side.

This icon is in the second icon above the category tabs, on the left-hand side.

ETC.

This was part of my feedback in the questionnaire. New members probably won’t be able to navigate around as easily.

Even last night I spent a minute looking for my latest threads link and remembered it was now an icon. But I’m also just stupid and forgetful, so there’s that.

Good idea.

Ensures that all new members that sign up will without a doubt see it.

I specifically remember me making a thread asking what these icons meant back when I first joined the forum:
Spoiler (Click to View)

Positive ended up replying with a helpful post and I moved on. However with these, threads like that would be avoided.

I’m still very uncertain on what these icons mean

For some reason I get confused with New Posts and Your threads icons. I have to move my cursor over it and wait till it shows what it is and then click. Not a big issue but new users might get even more confused.

Same here. I was confused after the changes, didn't know which was which, and still don't. These images do help for now.

You can find the table explaining the icons at the bottom of the page in I believe every forum.

Yeah. I found it convenient when it was written in text.

While it may have been a little more convenient, I'm sure that over a small period of time we'll all understand the new setup. 😉

It's very fluid and clean now.
