OK the green arrows that appear once you are logged-in have had a mixed response.

Let's get the fact on them via this poll.

...Feel free to cast your opinion on the green ones! [smiley]welcome/handshake.gif[/smiley]

Some might be surprised at my vote here.......

Voted- 'They Suck' because:-
1. I find myself not using them.
2. They get in the way when wanting to edit a post, using the 'Modify Message' icon.[attachimg=1]
3. They are pretty gruesome looking icons.
4. I think most people surfing the forum, just wiz the pages up with the mouse slider.


Since I see them a lot during moderation, I concluded, that when something is so big, so "colourful" and loud, that actually
you don't want to use them, I shy away, and just use the normal functions.
I think a regular "Go Down", Go Up" & "Home" buttons placed in the right locations would serve us better.

I voted "indifferent". I actually think they look cool....but I never use them. Like Chris said, I just scroll....old habits die hard.

I was SO tempted to use a proxy, sign up under 50 different names, and each would then vote that THEY SUCK.

[Not sure what they suck...thumbs...mammaries...ice-cubes?]

I have no problem with them at all - in fact I like the idea. Although, TBH, I've only used the Home one, but I do use that all the time. And I like the way they have been implemented - I think the built-in intelligence to when they display is very smart.

On reflection....

Would they be better accepted if they were:


       
  • much smaller (far too intrusive as they are)
  • maybe a different colour...white?... something neutral that won't clash with the red?

I'm comfortable with the size - can't miss them. Perhaps the colour could be different but they do need to stand out I think.

I'm colour blind. I can't see green, so I voted indifferent.  8)

If they were smaller and in the bottom corner or something they wouldn't be so bad.

As of now I voted "they suck" because they just get in the way and its annoying to have to read through them constantly

I can advise Victor to lower their size by half in length and width both and place them in the red border (little more in right side, if possible) area which will neither obstruct reading/writing nor will they look awkward.
