Nice guide. (Y)

The lite theme is different: it uses symbols instead of icons. Takes some getting used to.

I switched to the Lite theme from the main page then came into the forums and it looks the same. Is there a different link I should be using to get into the forums to see the Lite theme in here?

Hey, thanks! No problem at all. Happy to help.

:cool: I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all the little people who helped make this possible... and the ladies in the balcony. Thank you! Goodnight!

Thanks so much, guys. I appreciate the feedback.

I've done a ton of these kinds of Guides for the forums I Admin and people generally appreciate them, so I figured I'd do one for here since someone asked the question about icons.

Since I got such positive feedback on this one (and it's now part of the Official Neowin FAQ), perhaps I'll make some more or send mine to the Admins and let them use what they want and scrap what they can't use.

Like I said, always happy to help. Thanks again, folks! :yes:
