We just released wpForo 1.4.6 version.
IMPORTANT: wpForo Font Awesome lib is updated to version 5. If your theme doesn't have v5 and you've disabled wpForo Font Awesome lib, please enable it back in Settings > Features admin page. If you've changed forum icons, member fields and reputation icons, please edit and insert new values using Font Awesome 5 new classes.
Small problem on some themes
In some cases you may have problem with displaying Reply Icon in Footer Statistic area.
The solution is easy. You should put this CSS code in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code textarea. Save it, delete all caches and do Ctrl+F5 on forum front.
.fa-reply:before {
content: "\f3e5" !important;
}
If you see problem with other icons, please report it in this topic:

1.4.6 Main Changes
Topic and Post Moderation Tools
1. Move Topic
This tool has been moved from topic action buttons area to Moderation Tool-box
2. Move Reply
Moves one or more replies to existing topic. In case you want to create a new topic with moved replies you should use Spit Topic tool.
3. Merge Topics
Merges one topic to another. Replies will be merged based on date order. In case you want to append merged topic replies to the end of the target topic, you should allow this tool to update post dates to current date. This makes replies newer and attaches to the end of target topic.
4. Split Topic
Splits topic and creates a new topic with split replies. Also it allows to attach split replies to an existing topic.

We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
Bug.
A forum created after this update does not show in the list of forums to move topics to in the tools menu
Another bug for me are the moderator tools only open on page one of the topic. If I try to click tools to use them on page 2, 3 or 4 etc nothing! I have to go back to page 1 to get it to open. Anyone else having this? If this is a bug that's a significant miss on testing.

The profile->Activity listing is from oldest to newest. Should it not be newest to oldest?
I use Litespeed cache and it worked perfectly with 1.4.5. 1.4.6 is seeing the rotating swirly dots if I LIKE a post. Disabling Litespeed cache clears the problem. What could be the cause of this?
Otherwise thank you @gvectors for adding post split/merging. A very important feature to allow centralization of material, preventing topic fragmentation across multiple posts.
Possible bug, see attached.
The tools menu is doing nothing when clicked and on left side of the image it looks like something is trying to infinately load.
Please advise 🙂

Why not do a simple Ctrl+F5 on forum front before reporting an issue. You should know that after each update your browser don't load CSS style changes. You need to reset browser cache and load new version CSS file by doing Ctrl+F5. The same issue was fixed here:

Many icons from font-awesome 5 does have "fab fa-" or "far fa-" (not "fas fa-") prefixes and now we can't put this icons. Terrible update. 😕

@codetyper so you think the many new features and fixed bugs are less important than the fab (icons for brends)? Please down-grate wpForo and wait for fab if it's so important for you.

How is this a "terrible update" ? I'm sorry, but I really cannot understand how anyone could think this having used the WPForo software. Sadly, it seems that even free isn't enough these days.
