Title: Coloured smilies on the posts you posted in.
Post by: BlueFox on October 01, 2010, 01:37:08 am: Sometimes it is hard to keep up with people replying to your posts when the smiley shows from a post from a year ago.

I was thinking of colouring the smilies, to a different color for how long ago you last posted.

Example;

(http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg428/jesse7637/mygreen.png) - Green could be last replied within the last 24 hours.

(http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg428/jesse7637/myblue.png) - Blue could be last replied within the last week.

(http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg428/jesse7637/myred.png) - Red could be last replied within the last 4 weeks.

(http://argonathrpg.com/forum/Themes/core/images/topic/my_veryhot_post.gif) - Default could be last replied after 4 weeks ago.

Tell me what you think.

Maybe the colour could range from, say blue and gradually faints to a paler shade, the longer the duration of time your replied on.

I think this would be used by the more active forumers, as it will be most beneficial to them. :)

Tell me what you think.
fixed

Also why can't we just like... look at the dates when the last posts were made on?
