Blue Squares?

[Ben44]

I've just updated to 2.3.2 and these blue blobs have appeared on the front page, what are they and how do I change them ??

Do you have any add-ons to change the forum icons, or anything in your extra.less template?

BTW, your link in your signature points elsewhere

 

[frm]

If you're coming from XF 2.1, the new method would be this in EXTRA.LESS.

.node.node--id# .node-icon i
{
    &::before
    {
        .m-faContent(@fa-var-newspaper, 1em);
    }

    svg
    {
        display: none;
    }
}

(Replace # with the node id; replace the fa-var-newspaper with the appropriate Font Awesome icon)

Oh dear, now into my 80s, I can't remember what I have and worse than that I can't remember what I done when I installed
and made changes.

Thanks for the tip about my sig link, I just retyped it and now it works, well for me it does.

    }

That's above me now frm, I would need a step by step or see if I can find someone to help me.

This being old is rubbish.

Do you just want to remove the blue squares or do you want to change the orange icons too?

 

[Ben44]

Just remove the blue ones will be fine please

 

[Old Nick]

In your ACP go to Appearance >> Templates >> find the extra.less template and search and remove this code from it:

.node.node--forum.node--unread .node-icon i:before {
    display: inline-block;
    content: "";
    height: 1em;
    vertical-align: -0.125em;
    background-color: currentColor;
    width: 1.28571429em;
    mask: "\f658" no-repeat center;
    -webkit-mask: "\f658" no-repeat center;
    color: #1474b8;
}

And probably all code beginning by:
.node.node--forum.node--read .node-icon i:before {

I can empathise with you, I'll be hitting my milestone 70 this year, and you are right on the ball with 'getting old being rubbish' lol.

@Old Nick is on the ball too, that's what I saw in the browser console, and it needs to be taken out; your blue squares will disappear

 

[Ben44]

Ah magic Old Nick, done that and they have gone. You're the man thank you.

Thanks as well Davy, don't have any more birthdays after this one, stay as you are

 

[Old Nick]

I still see blue squares as unread icons, maybe you just get ride of the blue square as read icons

 

[Ben44]

Will get rid of all cookies and rubbish and look again.

 

[Old Nick]

All is good now, i just navigated and came back to the home page.

Thank you so much all for the help. Being a one armed 30 year service veteran this is all I have in life now.
