Weird icons up top


I recognize that this marks me as a grumpy old man who hates change, but if you're going to replace the clearly-labeled tabs at the top of the screen with icons, I'd appreciate it if they were at least obvious representations of the sections they lead to.

It's good you're finally coming to terms with that!

Jason: I had to seek those icons out after I read your post. I find that rolling my cursor over them shows a description of "what you get."




There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Looks like a big "Mac" attack to me.

Jason:

As Mike said. If you move your mouse over the icons you will get a description of where they go to on the forum.

Yeah, I saw that. Didn't care. It strikes me as more user-friendly to actually have the word "forum" there than a little picture of a house which will tell you it leads to the forum once you get the idea to start randomly pointing at things.

And, they would occasionally just all be on top of each other on the left side of the screen.
