Quickie Poll: Folders OR Bulbs?

Guys,
In case you did not notice, I changed the "new-post indicators" for the boards from folders to bulbs! "Functionally," they are easier to differentiate than the folders were and, thus, can make your surfing experience that much more efficient and enjoyable. But, are they aesthetically more pleasing or not? In and of themselves, I think they look great, but I do know that they kind of break up the cohesion of graphics on the site a little bit. Do these "aesthetic" factors supercede any "functional" improvement? Or, do you like them more on both fronts? I am willing to hear out any thoughts, but a simple  OR  will do! Please, everybody, respond! This is something that can be decided democratically! I do not want to affect your guys' voting, so I will submit my votes later on. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!  I am...
...Your Friend in Fantasy Football,
Steve Stegeman a.k.a. StegRock

If so, I like them and don't think they interfere with the page aesthetically at all. In fact, I barely noticed them. But now that I know they are there, it will make surfing easier. |

Thanks for the commentary on that, but, no, you should see "light bulbs" (really cool ones, actually), no folders at all. Your page must not have yet refreshed the graphic. If you are working on a LAN line, or perhaps even DSL, that often happens. You probably will not "realize" the change until you are off the computer you were on when you visited for a day or two, like the weekend. Just to know, though, Philly, when you visited last, were you on a LAN or DSL line?

To all the people who have not yet "realized" the bulbs, again, please refer to my post above. If you are on a LAN, or perhaps even a DSL, line, and, moreover, frequent the site, the latter of which would apply to the three of you above that have not yet seen the bulbs, you probably will not see the bulbs for a bit. It would be nice, nevertheless, if, as I asked Philly above, you could report what kind of line you are on. That would be an educational and useful piece of information... for me. Also, again, this change ONLY AFFECTS the "forum-level, new-post indicators," NOTHING ELSE! Let's try not to convolute the issue for people by indicating anything else. Finally, when you guys do "realize" the bulbs like PA Outlaws has, please a) let me know and b) submit your vote. Thanks!
By the way, thank you PA for reporting, voting and showing me your support!

Thanks for responding, BW! Okay, you do not have DSL. So, do you connect with a modem, i.e. by a regular dial-up phone line? Moreover, more importantly, at the computer where you are not getting the bulbs (I ask this because I know you access the net both at home and at work, and I am guessing that, at least at work, you are on a LAN line)?

So I vote for the idea, but a  for the execution... |

Well, Philly, they are way more distinguishable than the folders were, no?

True enough. Maybe it's just the newness that I need to get used to. I never noticed the folders before. I always used the date and time of the last post to determine whether to open a thread or not.

for the first time, I had lights shining on the screen. Now that I have the normal lighting on my computer, the bulbs are very distinguishable between lit and unlit. Take away my
