Template change feedback
Just changed the bit under posts where post rep and report are.
Uses text instead of graphics now. Given how underused post rep and report are, I figured maybe the icons aren't intuitive. They are kinda hidden to the bottom left of a post with unintuitive icons. Someone new to vBulletin wouldn't really bother learning what they do. I'm hoping using text instead will make them stick out more but without being obtrusive.
I also put Trade Rep. there. TU won't stop complaining about trade rep links in postbits, so if these end up being noticeable (such that new users will notice the Trade Rep. links), I may remove it from the postbit.
So, feedback on any of these things?
EDIT: I also might darken them from 60 to 40 if the color is too distracting and interrupts the flow of reading between posts. I don't think it should be, though, if you are actually reading a topic and not thinking about what these links look like.
