Gotta say it but I don't like the new icons. Some seem indistinguishable from the others plus the writing is difficult too see. The old ones were great why change them?

Eeeek...

I'll be totally contradictory here as I hate to give non-constructive criticism to a site that offers me so much but I do have to agree that I really did prefer the previous icons if the truth be told.

How much more constructive can you be? The new icons suck plain and simple...
Plus I do appreciate the work gone into this site hence why I'm bringing up the issue.

They are hard to read, and tell apart.

They're horrible.
Please change them back.

The old format wouldn't allow for any more than 5 characters to be displayed in the text area; 6 if the font was reduced even further.

The newer icons with a pixel font allow for much more text to be displayed which is needed for new categories: x264 1080P, etc. Those would have never fit in any way on the old icons, and the new categories were long overdue. It will also give us the latitude we'll need in the future to add on new categories if needed.

The text should also be easier to read as it's no longer sideways.

Well you could add a bit of colour they all seem to be bluey grey.

There's a lot of colors actually. I think they "all" seem that way because there are a lot of xvid uploads.

I'm always open to suggestions.

I would like a bit more difference in color on 720p/1080p. I think it's a bit hard to see the difference when they are close to each other.

The rest just needs some time getting used to.

The style just get nicer every time I look at them.

Edit: I think I've been here for too long. Getting old and grumpy.

Must say that I am loving all the new categories that you guys have just introduced :) especially the x264 720p section in both TV and Movies !
Thank you so much.

I can see how some people could be getting confused with some new icons and colours, XVID and PDTV for an example, but for me it is all good as I use the 'NZB Type Filter' first to narrow things down before looking what's available.
Thanks again, keep up the good work.

Some changes have been made and it looks like the current icons are final.

Thoughts? Gripes? Bitches? Complains?

The XviD, PDTV, and DSR are all the color b/c they're all XviD.
