Have the folder icons changed?
Not yet.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

You guys rock! Front page looks slick. And I didn't think I had an opinion about whether some threads should be folderized, but turns out it makes me very happy.
Go BBuildaBB Team!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The home page looks really good.
The folders aren't so much foldery on my screen (low tech alert: 1024 x 768 on a very old, very small laptop) as they are something that makes me think of folders. Impressionistic folders all tiny-fied on my screen.
Anyway, it looks good. Logical architecture even while the folder icons only imply folders to me.
Also still quite work-friendly and, I think, more intuitive than any of the foldering ideas I have seen so far. FTR, I appreciate the work friendly and am quite pro-folder, because digital is the one organization I can attempt to master.
And the subscribe/unsub button is the coolest. I am enthralled with it still.

Architecture-wise, should we habve links to the folders on the thread page. So if you're in, say, Spoilage and want to go to spoilage lite you go to folder/newpage rather than having to go home. I would say "breadcrumb trail" but I suspect ita and Misha would beat me up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have nothing against the term breadcrumbs, and they'll show up one day, I promise.

Triangles instead of folders is done. Comments?

I think the triangles are pretty, but I think they're less meaningful to the casual eye than the folders were.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I prefer the triangles. The folders were too small to really be visually meaningful, and I think a left-pointing triangle is a pretty well-known "more stuff under here" marker by now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The triangles are good, plus there's more space between the folder names now.
