Hi guys,

I tried using the excellent workaround described in the following link but sizing the icons down to 30x30 resulted in them being offset, and then going smaller than that resulted in them repeating themselves within that same space.

try

.wpforo-forum-icon .wpfcl-0 {
background-size: 30px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
max-width: 30px;
max-height: 30px;
}

or give a url to your forum

This will probably work.

I know you've had some feedback in the forum about icon changes so if you have any info on that it would be appreciated, and like others have said it would really make an amazing product look even more amazing.

(https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/replace-font-awesome-icons-with-images/paged/2/#post-27395)

So, if anybody has any ideas for adding our own icons that would be great, but then if we cannot do that then I'd really like to be able to change the icon colors.  Our icons need to have color control otherwise they won't make sense. 

Thanks and I have to say -- I love everything about gVectors so far. Great stuff!
