Hi T.J., thanks for your very nice reply. You said that you got lost - sorry, I will try to improve my communication...

Absolutely, especially since you you provided a good reason for that. And this reason is very important to me, because (too?) many things are just changed without a good reason... And due to your excellent reply, I'm wondering what your (professional) background is. May I ask? :-) > > Or, I suggest that we add a green > > check mark to the yellow user to indicate that (s)he is known. > > > If that "yellow user" isn't in the "participate" icon, you've lost me. Oh sorry, I just thought about keeping the color for the user icon and instead using a kind of "icon language" which means adding a checkmark symbol. At this point, the challenge is the very limited space which is available... I did a very rough mockup, which I hope will help to understand what I'm thinking about. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zYmS9-OMqNnh1VkwMwiz_Q?feat=directlink [...] T.J., Ivan, thank you for this nice discussion (as always)!
