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.

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.

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

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!

[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.

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.
