I don't immediately "get" the meaning of the current permalink button.
Here is an alternate button that may convey the idea better.
permalink pl permalink2 pl2

Edit: "Tweaked" the anchor

Puh, I’m not the only one who has a problem with the current one. face-wink.png I like the new version much more.

Two is the oddest prime.

I propose this graphic to replace the current permalink button in THIS edition of the WL website:

pl2text

What do you say? face-smile.png

Thanks for the new icons chuck. However I think they are best without or maybe with the new wood texture, since we removed the old wood texture from the website (I didn't like it - but you did chuck, didn't you? :P). Maybe I will remove the permalink icon completely and add a post number with the permalink. I have not worked on the posts style yet, so I cannot say what works and looks better. I might try to do some work on the icons myself.

No problem. face-smile.png We don't want too many different textures I would think. If I get a chance this weekend, I may work up a couple icons with the new wood texture. Then you can tell me if they are anywhere near what you have imagined.

I certainly welcome everyone who wishes to express him/herself artistically with graphic contributions. face-grin.png

Button Icons

Here are the cropped icons from the buttons in the current website. They may be of use and will be easier to utilize without their original button backgrounds.
close_small cs, closed c, delete d, edit e,
new_topic nt, open_topic ot, p_delete pd, p_edit pe,
p_quote pq, permalink pl, permalink2 pl2, preview pv,
quote qt, search sr, send sn, send_pm spm,
stick_topic st, sticky s, subscribe sb, top tp,
unstick_topic ut, unsubscribe us
