New look

Same here. I'm going through the different topic sites to see what the new icons mean.

There is a "key" at the bottom of each forum index that gives some details about the meaning of the current icons:

At this moment I'm not 100% if those specific icons will remain.

FWIW, if you're looking for feedback, I prefer the old ones.
But whatever you decide is cool with me.

That is the quote button. If you don't want to quote any particular post, use the New Reply button located on top and bottom of the thread.

This all is looking like it was a slow day at IB.

IMHO, it would have been nice if somebody (Mods, Admins or IB staff) would have put up an announcement or at least a sticky to tell everyone what was going on and maybe listing the new icons and revised buttons.

FWIW, my vote would be to return to what we had.

Not a fan of the new look either. I guess this is what we get when trying to design a site that works first on tablets and phones and then on PC's.

I don't like it at all. Too bright and harder to read.

Forum indexes, for example:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/help-forum-31/
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/intros-134/

Scroll to the bottom and the key will be there. The forum indexes are also where many of those icons are used.
