Do my forum icons make sense?

[sgliggett]

I am no artist and I was about 1/3 of the way done making my forum icons before I discovered webdings.
But, I would like to know if you can tell what those little pictures are meant to be and if they make any sense?
If you have any other criticisms about the site, that would help too.

It does not matter if they make sense.
They are so small that no one will look at them.
They are completely irrelevant to using the site.

Thanks Dave; Right as usual.
I still think it's important to have them as opposed to just leaving the default icon that comes with the forum.
It shows I care enough to make some icons.
But, your right about them not actually doing any thing functional. I can't really see them either.
But then, I have trouble seeing small things any way.

I don't see anything wrong with them, but i think they could stand to be a little bit larger. I think it would look a bit plain without them.

Actually, I disagree that they're too small.

However, I think it would be great if you added some padding and mouseover table row effects for the forum list to change the background color of the rows as the visitor moused up and down the list. And while the row background color changed, the icons should become perceptibly larger, making them more easily understood (if you've used the latest version of cPanel you'll know exactly what that looks like).

Personally, I think this could become valuable to your forum users who will begin to associate the icons with the topics they're most interested in.

I think they make enough sense, although IMO they are a bit small.

I like how the SEO graphic is just a Question mark

I would say the icons are small, but remember the majority of not-people-here are going to be running 1024x or even 800x in which case they'd look about the right size.
