Within the next couple of versions I'd like to make a bit of a change to the icon's displayed on the postlist.php, showflat.php and showthreaded.php pages.
Basically right now you need 2 icons, one for read and one for unread. This is somewhat limiting as well since they pretty much have to be the same color in order for everyone to know when a thread has new posts or not. So you can't just upload icons with varying colors.
What I'm thinking of is adding a new column to the very left and in here we display some sort of icon when a thread is new, then the current icons could be whatever color you want them to be. And you'd only need 1 icon since this wouldn't be used to track read/unread status.
Basically, what I'm looking for is if everyone thinks this would be a good idea. And if so, what kind of icon should we use as the default icon to designate a thread with new posts.
