This just doesn't make sense to me. If you move a thread, shouldn't people be able to post in it in the correct catigory..?

they can unless its getting spammed so a mod or someone locks it..

when the appropriate thread is not suitable in the catogory in wich u posted then admin just move it to the correct (suitable) catogory (place) and the the thread locked where u originally posted but u can access the thread from its new catogory...

sometime threads get locked or deleted for some other reasons.. because they are against the rules.. or there is no further need of them.. or they are only annoucement or notices made by admins or mods...

I am assuming this question was asked because when a thread gets moved, the forum it was in shows a next to it. However, you can still click the link to the thread and most likely post in the thread nonetheless. The icon can in this case be misleading, I agree.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see an icon with an arrow on or something, it would be much easier to see that it's been moved to somewhere else.

How about this icon or something of its sort for a moved thread?

I also made a little icon

They're both nice, but I prefer Matty's.

Howevern this isn't much of a deal, because thre's clearly stated that it's moved and people usually get the idea. But well, let's make WDZ work.

Well, the icon change is a pretty good idea, but we need several versions of the new "moved" icon, depending on whether the thread is read or unread and whether it's "hot" or not...

Here are the icons... wow late lol

Er... Mister...Double-U Dizzy? What's up now?

here is my work..
icons...
                 

I prefer Shezis to mattys..  soz matty

I like the ones from Shezi better then Matty's though...

Anyways, they can be optimized and need some tweaking though (as well as the already existing icons)... I'll do it in a minute


---------------------------

EDIT:

Existing icons:
- fixed not matching colors between same general areas (the paper)
- fixed some pixels and transparency for some icons
- converted all to non interlaced (smaller filesize)
- changed transparent color to first index and green color in all icons
In new "move" icons:
- fixed not matching colors between same general areas (the paper)
- fixed some sizes of some icons so they are aligned properly
- converted all to non interlaced (smaller filesize)
- reduced to max 64 colors
- changed transparent color to first index and green color in all icons

The new (fixed) complete set:

Thank you, Cookie, but I am afriad that all your efforts would go to total waste as long as Mr. WDZ is too *beep*.

hmmm..... I checked it out and indeed it shows rather strange (every other gif viewer I tried shows it fine). I looked at the gif on byte level and there is nothing wrong with it; the stucture is absolutely fine. When the image is interlaced however, windows picture/fax viewer shows it fine. It seems like a render bug in the pic/fax viewer though (It always renders the pics (in a strange way) before it shows them if the pics are below a certain size or colors)

but, if you don't trust it, here is the interlaced version (6 bytes bigger then the non-interlaced though )
