While checking out the new forums I noticed something small, but not unimportant. On the side profile of users we now have the option to send a friend request, send a PM, start a crossroad trade, or block them. With the exception of the PM the icons used to signify each of these actions is the same across the site. When you get a CR you see the box with the arrow, when you make a new friend you see the dragon.
This is not so with the PM. The icon used here is actually the same icon that shows up when someone comments on your userpage.

See? Instead of sending a PM it feels like I'm about to comment on their userpage. Again, it is something small though overall it is rather confusing.
My suggestion would be to change it to the icon used for PMs, [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/small_message.png[/img]. Or at least something similar.

+1 on this. At first, I thought that it was a pop-up dialogue to comment on the poster's profile. The icons being inconsistent really doesn't help anyone, and changing it to be consistent would really help streamline communication.

Support, it was easy to understand what each icon meant at first glance except for that one. First thought I had when I saw it was to comment on the user's page. It's a minor change that I would greatly appreciate!

Support! I didn't really realise it but now I can definately see if things are consistent it just makes it better and easier to navigate
