In summary, the conversation discusses the recent changes made to the forum, including the new quote boxes and icons. Some members are still getting used to the new look, but overall, they are well-received. One member also mentions the new PF search plugin for Firefox. Another member is having trouble downloading it.

Still tweaking them. I think the "forum new" button looks a bit rich and color heavy. Trying to lighten it up a bit. Stay tuned.

Wow! I had to clear my cache to see those...had no idea they had changed until seeing this thread. Makes me think of The Jetsons (or maybe it's that the chat doorbell has now stuck that in the front of my mind). I'll need a day or two to stop being surprised at the new look when I open the page, but I do like the new icons better than the old ones.

Another nice change. Also, I noticed there is a PF search plugin for Firefox. Very nice! I love the firefox search bar and having a PF search there will be great.

FAQ: Woah. New icons by forum sections.
1. What are the new icons by forum sections?
The new icons by forum sections are small images or symbols that represent different categories or topics within a forum. They are typically located next to the forum section's name and help users easily identify and navigate to specific discussions or threads.
2. Why were these icons added?
These icons are often added to enhance the visual appeal of a forum and make it more user-friendly. They also help organize and categorize content, making it easier for users to find relevant discussions.
3. How were the icons chosen?
The icons are often chosen based on the forum's theme or topic. For example, a forum about technology may use icons related to gadgets or computers, while a forum about sports may use icons representing different sports teams or equipment.
4. Can users customize the icons?
It depends on the forum's settings and customization options. Some forums may allow users to upload their own icons or change the default ones, while others may have set icons for each section that cannot be changed.
5. Do the icons have any special meaning?
The icons are mainly used for visual purposes and do not have any special meaning. However, they can give a general idea of the type of discussions or content that can be found within a specific forum section.
