Just something that sounds simple to do that might be really nice. Just a thought.

Can we not?

I'm aware that my viewpoint is not shared by many people, but I'd like to ask: why do people care about holidays, and why do you want things themed after them?

I understand not thinking holidays are a big deal Ludo, but are you against holidays? If not, then it probably doesn't hurt to have it either way. If you are opposed to it, then that's fine, not trying to step on anyways toes. Also Archael, thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet, are you serious? :pokerface:

I'm either way on this one. Minimal effort on my part to do it.

If you guys really want it, make a poll. Otherwise I'll keep working on other stuff.

It's nice to change things up every now and then, as long as it doesn't INVOLVE THE REMOVAL OF FORUM FEATURES, ARCHAEL.

Ahem. Yeah, nice to change stuff up. :girl:

Well, I'd like to go a few angles off here, but it still involves the rep buttons. Have the plus on the right side of the rep number and the minus on the left. Left to right is usually how we portray minus and plus and having the rep number in between will not only be better from a UX POV, but also separates the buttons a little so misclicks will be less likely to happen. :]

From a UX POV, you read left to right, and want the + to be read first. The "-" is harder to get to intentionally, and is read last.

Also, where do you keep your mouse by default? I keep it in the center, so it'd be easier to click the + than the - . I've never thought about this before.
