Now once a set of elements are dialed in and you think your style is the cat's meow could we some how export the recipe for others to import? So others with more time on their hands could produce a full set . 

I am curious where the permissions level exist for these styling and theming changes  so that if I wanted to hire a designer to edit my site they would have an account have restricted access limited to such tasks not other data schema schema.

That's some seriously good work on how you've made it far easier to customise all different types of icons. These bits usually are the visual bits that massively matter to people popping into your community and hoping they stick. Love it ❤️

As some of my past messages here have revolved around Achievements and knowing that it is a very powerful tool if you find a way to use it with your members, are we expecting to see updates to the Rules as well to allow us to create more unique ways to then use these said badges? I'm super hopeful that given its been out for a few years, with this seriously cool update above, that Achievements deserves to get a 2.0 update as the foundation layer that is live today has so much potential.

The permission for these would be relevant to the area in which that item is shown. So for example badges, it would be the "can manage badges" permission

So awesome!  It's very simple now to customize a forum - I won't need a custom theme...  I can't wait until this is released...

Omg this is so cool! Super excited to see it in action! 👏 

Do we get…

Already did on our community.

On our world, rythmed by social medias and whatsapp, icons/smileys had to be a implemented like that. Nice job, can not wait nexts updates

If you are referring to the classic and custom emojis, yes they are still supported in the editor 

We didn't include them in the Icon Creator however as those images can get quite large and it can make the SVG too large after embedding them.

Absolutely agree, thanks Matt!

This topic has been showing up as unread for the past ~10 days in the Unread Content stream. Can you do something about it @Matt?  The new blog entry you just posted disappeared properly. 😅

It's so cool, we just want to make sure you see it.

I'll get it removed from unread content.

Hello everyone. 
Once again. Wow, that really impressed me and creates much more flexibility for a forum owner.
What I noticed is that badges that could be multi-level don't have a counter badge. 

Maybe that would be an interesting feature to have a perfect native badge creator tool.

As an example for publishing topics. 

For the first publication the member receives a normal badge, after the 5th publication the same badge only with an additional counter badge. The same for the 25th / 50th / 100th publication and so on. Everything could be done with one and the same icon type, of course you can still play with the colors and shape , but it would be nice if you could then still consider a counter as shown in the screenshot. Then I wouldn't be forced to use a graphic again, but could use the badges natively. 

Is this perhaps on your to-do list?

Hi @MythonPonty

There's already a feature for adding a counter badge. 👍

One additional question about Reactions !

Do we have a rights management for reactions in v5?
For example ! I want to use negative Reactions just for the moderation team and i don't want to use them global for all users. A warning is sometimes not the right tool and is too strict. I would rather just show a stop sign or raise my index finger as a warning.

It's not on our roadmap at this point, it'd be tricky given how we load the icons.

Regarding FontAwesome Pro, is it too early to ask for details on how icons are loaded? The preferred way if you ask the vendor is to use their kits, and icons can then simply be referenced by using the corresponding `fa-icon-name` class.

I'm not necessarily asking for nitty gritty technical details, but could you extrapolate a bit on what system you use to load icons and why providing our own kit url would not work?

I understand if a lot of this is still under wraps given the status of IC5.

@Foxtrek_64 Font Awesome 6 Free is used in version 5, hosted locally on your own domain for optimal performance.

There isn’t currently a way to swap this with your own Font Awesome kit, but it’s certainly something we can look into if there’s enough demand for it.
