My need for using font-awesome was that old Like this app as we really miss having a Like button to like or thank a post. Only thing is, it didn't show a little icon next to the number of likes - it showed a little empty box thingy <- technical term there.

Yes, I actually fixed it and added the missing parts but the author never updated it. Since the Like This plugin is obsolete I guess.

The Yaga application works really great and has all the icons. And you can configure the reactions as you wish and call them what you want.

Anyway, works fine with font-awesome the way I did it but I didn't know if that's the proper way to load it. >I couldn't figure out how to make it load the font-awesome style sheet. If that's not the right way, any >hints as to how to load it properly for my custom theme?

There are instructions in the font awesome website. You basically download the files and add them to the root of your forum or your custom theme folder .

Once you have the files and know their location, edit the parts that require the path to the files and then use the CSS rules to add the font icon to whatever you want.

Holy wow Batman! That YAGA is awesome! Just put it on my local and it's so cool! I hope it will work in upcoming 2.3. Thanks for recommending it.

It was approved in 2011, for Vanilla 2.0.

You appear to be using Vanilla 2.2.

If you choose to use addons which have not been updated in over 3 years, you have to accept that you may run in to some issues.

Sure enough!!

update `GDN_User` `User`
set `Permissions` = ''
where `Permissions` <> '';

alter table `GDN_Article`
character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
convert to character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

alter table `GDN_ArticleComment`
character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
convert to character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

alter table `GDN_ArticleMedia`
character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
convert to character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

insert `GDN_UserMeta` 
(`UserID`, `Name`, `Value`) 
values ('0', 'stubcontent.record.locale', 'en');

Thanks so much. Starting to feel like I need to just blindly thank you once a week 😃.

Quick question:

Could I have gone straight from 2.6 to 3.2 (as long as I followed all the 2.6 & 2.8 to 3.0 upgrade specific instructions)? In other words, is the 3.2 upgrade inclusive of everything in 3.0 and 3.1 or is it a delta from 3.0 or 3.1?
