I added new icons to indicate the status of a topic: Chaos Emeralds and Super Emeralds. :D
First, the regular topics:
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/normal_post.gif)
= normal topic.
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/hot_post.gif)
= hot topic.
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/veryhot_post.gif)
= very hot topic.
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/normal_poll.gif)
= normal poll.
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/hot_poll.gif)
= hot poll.
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/veryhot_poll.gif)
= very hot poll.
Next, the sticky topics:
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/normal_post_sticky.gif)
= normal topic [sticky].
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/hot_post_sticky.gif)
= hot topic [sticky].
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/veryhot_post_sticky.gif)
= very hot topic [sticky].
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/normal_poll_sticky.gif)
= normal poll [sticky].
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/hot_poll_sticky.gif)
= hot poll [sticky].
![](http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/Themes/SonicCenter/images/topic/veryhot_poll_sticky.gif)
= very hot poll [sticky].
Topics that you've posted in will have a small green arrow in the bottom-right corner of the icon. Locked topics have a grayed-out version of the icon.
Questions / Comments / Suggestions? :)
EDIT: I swapped the colors of the Hot and VeryHot topic icons. Poll icons are still the same.
