critique button
Could you change the critique button icon? I was thinking about the way people respond to marking a comment "critique" and how I feel about doing it. I realized that the red flaming button makes me shy away from it. Also, seeing it is a bit daunting. It brings up all the unpleasant memories of red ink on my assignments in high school. Also, the flame makes me think of "flaming" which is just all out bad and not ok.
There has been a lot of talk lately about giving critique, accepting critique, etc. Some people findi t very uncomfortable to receive, others hesitate to give critique because it isn't received. I know you are working on stuff about inviting criticism and that, but I think we need a new and friendlier icon for leaving a "critique" comment. After all, the point of doing it is usually to help the author improve and encourage them. Especially with the new ability to edit stories at any time.

Alrighty, it's updated. Didn't go with the magnifying class -- a little too "search" related in terms of icons. I think this one will do the trick... although I'll miss the little raging inferno. :/
I’m amused

Alrighty, maybe the shiny red flame was just a little too attractive to me when I made those buttons. I'll see what I can do to tone it down. :D

Inappropriate?I love the shiny red flame too. ;) It is very snazzy looking. Just maybe a bit intimidating to use or receive to give constructive criticism. ;)
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?i've mentioned this before to some people, but an image you might want to consider is a magnifying glass. not as scary as the raging inferno, i must say.
(:
I’m loving this face too much.

Inappropriate?I will also miss the little raging inferno. I'm sure you can find somewhere to put it. ;) But the red pen will make me giggle endlessly. Or maniacally. :)
