XF 2.1 Fontawesome in signature

[tommydamic68]

Would anyone know if it's possible to use Fontawsome in a signature as a link - for example linking to my social media accounts like below but with Fontawsome icons? And if so, how to do it? Thanks in advance.

Easy. Install the Font Awesome Brands BB Code I have attached. Then just link it like normal. You will need link permission for signatures, obviously.

Example: [URL='https://www.drupal.org'][fab=blue]drupal[/fab][/URL]

Where would you install the code?

Didn't work, just gives me text, no icon.

Then you didn't import the bb code xml file, or you aren't using XF2.1. One is for normal FA icons, the other for Brands. You should see them in your forum's Help section inthe BB Code area.

Edit - there's a 3rd possibility. XenForo only supports icons up to FA 5.6. If the one you want to use is greater than that, you'll have to make your own arrangements to access them.
