Come on guys, those new cups and glasses look lame!
The jury is still out on the bean upgrade/downgrade but those cups & glasses look lame!!!
The only ones I do like better are the admin giant cups&saucers.
I bet I'm going to loose a cup for this post. Edit: actually the cups without the foam/whippcream look fine too.

Haha, your cups are lame. :p As we tell everyone: it's a change, deal with it.

If you're going to be that pedantic and leave over bean images, that's your choice :)
Personally I think it's a silly little thing, which isn't even what you're here for, you're here for posting/post content.
So: ):P
;)
I think the bean images are nice. Joeb454 and Jacobmp92 did sufficient quality work on them, if you think you can do better I welcome you to try. Who knows, maybe they'll adopt yours?
If you're going to leave a forum over a bean image, well.. no comment.
I don't like change either, but hey, what're ya gonna do?
Joeb454 didn't give me a cup. We're not friends anymore.
EDIT: LOL JK
But seriously, I didn't used to have a cup, and I haven't made any posts in real forums. Weird.
Man I love sarcasm online - nobody ever gets it.
They're beans and cups!! They mean the world to me - and after 1000+ posts on these forums you guys have gone and changed my reliable beans and cups!!! That's it! I'm truly out of here; good bye bye ):P

Wait . . .
Sarcasm, eh?
It's okay, p_quarles. Don't consider it a blow to your pride. No one thought you were smart anyways.
Man I love sarcasm online - nobody ever gets it.Well, sort of really wrong - I got it first time, but then I'm a bit sarcastic and recognised it :rolleyes:
People rarely like changes at first, part of human nature I guess.
personally I think the blinking icons aren't as good as blinking avatars :)
I thought I was going mad AI

Oh I got it, I wouldn't have responded the way I did if I thought you were being serious :)
aaah - that'll be because you're English :)

Sadly, I think you might be right ;)
Love the new beans but the cream on the cups are almost impossible to make out on white backbround.

I think you're right....we need to get the blowtorch on that cream to make it a little darker at the top ;)
Now that I think about it, can I swap my cream cups with steaming ones? I like my coffee black anyway :p
btw: how come there's no coffee smiley on the board? [img]http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/bu6c1x1/smiley_coffee.gif[/img]
I like 'em, nicely done guys.
A change for the better in my opinion. Well done!

I think the word sufficient is an understatement thanks guys!!! :) Keep up the great beans.
Beans Beans, The more you post the more you toast, Roast Roast.... some other odd lines that rhyme in the fields of time :)

That'd help. And I think the glasses need to be bigger with more contrast to them - they look like a brown pole right now.
Overall these cleaner icons are growing on me, slowly.

Chocolate or cinnamon sprinkles will do just fine. :)
Change happens every day ... I like change... Why if it didn't I'd still believe that 640K was enough for anyone!
Can you imagine running Ubuntu on an XT @ 4.77 MHz using 5 1/4" floppies?
Yup; /me likes change ):P
Bring on the cups & beans! Have a nice day. Bruce
I like the new beans and cups. I think at my current post rate, I should have a cup by 2014 :p
Excellent job. Top quality. I have to say they're way better than the old ones. :D
Not a big fan, however how come some people have the new beans, cups, and mugs and others do not?

Clear your cache
If you still have the old rank images I could probably write a fairly simple userscript to bring back the old ones for whoever wants them?
I do still have a copy of the old images actually :p
That said, I'm clearly a fan of the newer ones ;)

If you're going to leave a forum over a bean image, well.. no comment.They're... glassy! Congrats to whoever made them (teach me how!), I'm guessing Jacob and Joe did; although I'll need to get used to them. :)
Cheers! Niko.
EDIT: I heard from Nathan they were made in Inkscape! Looks great. Also, Joe; I had a thread about all the old bean icons at the time:

Indeed they were:

Though some of it is from me opening up Joe's images he put together in the GIMP. So a little bit of both. ;)

Whoa that looks awesome. :D
I got a lot of mugs or glasses in my ID, and I liked the old ones because they were bigger and made me look more grandiose. That would be only suggestion. Also Christmas themed icons for the current season would be really nice!!!
Do I protest too much?
Is there actually a definition page showing what qualifies the different titles and icons?

No, it's just based on the number of posts you have.

Click Forum Help near the top, then Forum FAQ. Scroll down to the second annoucement, an explanation is in there.
Only the admins know.
With the exception of trips to the bookstore, I tend to prefer tea in place of coffee, so the new icons mean little to me. ^.^;
