Greetings All
I know that usually any bug should be reported to the bug tracker, however since phpBB 4 is still in development I thought it would be better to mention the icon bugs here because there is a chance that Hanakin may already know about the bugs but just hasn't finished working on the icons yet.
There is also the possibility that something could be an intentional change so it's not worth wasting our times opening a bug report without knowing if it is a bug or not.
I will place the bugs on new posts in this topic so that there is no confusion.

With that said, this icon does not appear on the MCP forum page in phpBB 3 anyway - I believe it was supposed to as it would make life easier for a moderator on a busy forum but for whatever reason it hasn't been flagged.

Re: phpBB 4 Bugs - Iconify Icons
There are bound to be issues caused by the icon rework. It was massive and we could not catch them. Feel free to create tickets and prs to address them.
