We just discover the Forums widget and it looks great on a forum page with all the colored icons in hierarchal order. We added the widget to our blog page, but the listing shows up as the site default of red links and there are no icons. Here is our blog page for reference: https://sallieborrink.com/blog/  

When viewing the source code of the blog, there are no ":before" tags with each line. Our theme has a setting for "links" which is red. On the forum, the 2.0 forum theme is working fine. How would we get this look to appear on our other pages?

I'm usually pretty good with CSS to figure out ways to make it show up or hide, but I can't seem to figure this one out.
