@usernamemi

I don't think the 5.0.13 version got more than half new icons after 5.0.6. Please don't write things that are far from truth. You just need to check the version of icon before using it. The new a icons are not so many.

Honestly, I think this is really just one of those little things. Especially when you consider all of other great features and outstanding support for free software.

What I'd really like to see is the ability to use any image we choose instead of being locked into font awesome. But again, this is a rather small thing.

Same problem here. I wish there was a custom link to what's really included in wpForo, instead of that link to FA website with more than half the icons there not displaying in wpForo.

wpForo uses Font Awesome 5.0.6 version. I'm sorry but there is no way to update it. We're updating the core time to time. The latest FA version will also be added in wpForo soon.

Yeah, going through and picking out just the 5.0.6 or older icons is a royal pain.

OK. I certainly do not mean to sound argumentative by any means, but how are we to know the difference? Is there a way to update the library on our end or do we just have to make sure that any icon we choose is not above the version number?

This icon has been added in FA 5.0.13 version. wpForo uses 5.0.6 version.

I have this issue on one forum as well. I have checked to make sure I was not trying to use a "premium" icon. In the screenshot you can see that the icon is missing. In the settings for the forum I have it defined as "fas fa-blender"
