I created a forum section for Folding@Home and for Overclocking, since I've been meaning to do the OC section for a while, to help people that want to OC and don't know how or for people to brag about their OC.  It's going to take some work though...we have a lot of forum topics that started as one thing and turned into overclocking discussions.  Those posts will need to be split with a new topic created and then moved to the OC forum.  Same thing with Folding@Home but there's not as much of it aside from splitting up the 80 something thread post that started it all.

I could use some help with this from admins and moderators.

Thanks for all your hard work with this!!

Now it will be easier to find posts related to either folding or overclocking.

Below are 2 icons I found related to folding@home. This can be used to replace the generic icon currently representing the folding@home forum. Both are about the same size as the current forum topic icons. I kind of like the house one more since we are already using the other one in our profiles.

Yeah, agreed, I was just about to ask for some logos!  Can you find one for overclocking too?

Here are 3 icons that could be used to represent the Overclocking forum.

I used warning type icons since messing with overclocking could result in damaged components.

I like the bottom one the best, but the image uses an Apple computer. So either of the 3 are fine with me.

I kinda like the top one the best.  It's kinda hard to put a picture on overclocking! Ohh, maybe a speedometer would work well!

Like this one...

It would just need to be cut out and made transparent, which I don't know how to do.

When I get home from work I will see what I can do with the speedometer you provided. I do not have the PhotoShop software on my work computer.

I should be able to make the background transparent and reduce the size to 50x50.

Thanks Navy, I like the one you found, though I'd like to see what the one with flames looks like at 50x50.

I reduced the speedometer to 50x50 and removed the clips/shadow from the lower part of the image.

Attached are both versions. The top one works for me.
