The problem with the logos is only on the SubjectMarks page because they take up three times the space for each topic which used to be one line. They are totally unreadable anyway on the SubjectMarks page so they really serve no purpose there. Logos should be on the board headers only and perhaps on the home page. Most users bookmark the SubjectMarks page and to have to scroll, especially on smaller devices, is a major problem if one has 10 or more subjects with new posts. The 47 recommendations you are referring to is only by one poster. Several people have posted the same issue and those posts have also received numerous recommendations. I've seen only one or two posts in favor of the logos on the SubjectMarks page and those have received either no recommendations at all or 2 recommendations. That says something. While Dmitry has answered several questions regarding other matters, he has ignored each and every post addressing the SubjectMarks page issue. That also says something.

hundred+ moderators/emcees who have implemented the feature. Do not mistake implementation for endorsement I strongly favor deletion of the superfluous graphic, complication I think the minimalist presentation we had before is more appropriate to what we WERE all about ..not sure who we are trying to impress with this new, busy look, but as has been pointed out, it is not necessarily a desirable improvement even for hand held devices Change for the sake of change, with widespread condemnation and only token, indirect support, is hardly conducive to a collegial atmosphere So the mind boggles as to where the business case is for this change ..or is the truth that the site any more is primarily a hobby for some folks to play with, doing whatever they want to cause they can....
