Yet another who didn't notice
On behalf of modem users - there's nothing more annoying than waiting 30-60 seconds for a page to load because a few goofballs throw 20 animated smileys in their posts. This is currently a very modem-friendly site.
I also never noticed about the question mark in the logo. Both ways, I think it's great. Though the question mark is overpowering now that I know it's there.

It could be an option, to animate smileys or not. (just like displaying signatures is optional)
For those that disabled animation, the smiley would still show up, but it just wouldn't move.
WOW i never noticed that before....and now I can't get rid of it! now we need a knew logo........Aarow said:
I would agree with those that want to keep the forums generally the same. Sometimes I am intrigued by other fancy forums, but after a while, they definitely become annoying. I much prefer MR's simple style that gets the job done and doesn't get in the way after a while.
I remember when the site looked like this, http://web.archive.org/web/20001202060300/www.macrumors.com/article.php3?sid=20000920121128
Did the petition work?????

That makes two of us. I find those little pop-up message previews really annoying and unnecessary.
That's interesting. Seems like a lot of people didn't notice the question mark. That makes me feel better. Maybe the question mark should be a different color. (Just Kidding)arn said:
and if you quote the original post can we get the screen to flash the colors of the random 50 times per second for 30 seconds?Doctor Q said:While we're adding animated smilies, could we make all the text blink too?

i remember that that. other funny thing, i recognize more of those posters than the current compliment of users... guess i've gotten out of touch.
i've sort of forgotten what the site used to look like though.

It does for me? (At least it does right now: on a PC at work using FireFox)
You're using Safari, right...?Blackheart said:Could we get the MR favicon on the forums.macrumors.com too?
Just (quit Safari and) delete everything in ~/Library/Safari/Icons/ and you should get to see the MR favicon...

And what about allowing large, banner-sized images in our sigs? These forums could really rawk!
Another vBulletin site I recently joined is http://www.panthershuddle.com/forum/... for whatever reason, they have ALL of the bells and whistles turned on: Images in sigs (which is BAD), a galaxy of smilies (many of which are animated), reputation (which Arn turned on VERY briefly a little while back... you can give "rep" to someone for a good post... or you can take it away for a bad one), custom user titles (contributors can specify their own titles), hovering previews of posts, etc.
However, doing all that makes the site MUCH less readable. And, their site only has about 10% of the traffic of this site.
I like things the way they are, although I do like the custom titles option.

I think we could use a little more color, but other than that I love the forum, and damn yes I see that damn Mole now, and I've always knows the question mark was there.
Anyways, color and a few more smilies (NOT animated) would be nice.
