An explanation of the new icons could be put into one of the two FAQ lists for the site. (BTW, I've often wondered -- just why are there two separate FAQ lists?) Also, an explanation could be put in a moderator-generated thread that permanently stays at the top of the MB folder.
In another topic, I put down 'I don't know/other' as my vote for the nfic list. The real answer for me is 'I don't care, since I don't read nfic,' but that wasn't an option.
I'll be interested to see the outcome of the poll.
Joy,
Lynn
