I'm getting the same experience in OSes/browsers, as I posted earlier. The only changes -- I've updated Safari to 10.0.2 in OS X 10.11.6 and also have done 10.11.6's latest security update, 2016-003.
 
Anyone still experiencing this?

Even with a recently new iPhone that was set up as new I'm still seeing the same thing using Safari (haven't tried other browsers).

Anyone (involved with the site) has any insight into this? It's been at least a few weeks since this has started without really anything new about it.
 
Still seeing this issue. Not quite sure what's behind it. Would be great to hear from someone (in particular someone involved with the site) who might have some ideas. @arn perhaps?
 
It seems that some graphical elements, e.g., lock and pin elements are no longer showing up.

I noticed this on items that are stuck, i.e., no pin identifier, but also locked threads are not showing the padlock.

@arn, has there been any updates to the xen?

The icons look fine to me...you still not seeing them?

I was seeing them fine all day today. But now they have gone missing. A lot of stuff has gone missing.

Can see them with Safari and Fx in OS X (10.11.6).

Cannot with Safari in iOS (9.3.5).

I'm not seeing the pushpins for stickied posts, Safari on iOS 10.1.1. I didn't even notice their absence until reading this thread.

It looks like I might be the only one left wondering about this here, but weeks later I'm still seeing the same issues: on macOS sometimes these thread icons are there in Safari and other times they aren't, and in iOS I haven't seen them in a long time in Safari there.

Am I the only one still experiencing this? Anything in relation to this from anyone involved with the site?

I'm still not seeing pushpins for stickied threads nor padlocks for locked threads. You aren't alone.

Well, that's a bit of a relief. At the same time it's a little strange that this has been around for well over a month for some of us it seems and yet there hasn't been much in the way of feedback from anyone involved with the site (aside from a quick initial message earlier in the thread a while ago).

I still think this has something to do with changing/refining the theme we're using.

Certainly possible. It's somewhat hard to say especially when in the same OS and browser in the span of a few hours on the same day there might be a period of time when I'll see these icons and then when I won't see them. Definitely some help from anyone running or helping with the site would be useful and appreciated when it comes to something kind of odd like this.
 
We have multiple servers so it could be an issue with just one of them, which would explain the intermittent nature of it. It's something @arn would have to look into.

Sounds like it might be something like that. It would be great if it could be investigated further (and hopefully even fixed in some fashion). Thank you.
 
Can see them -- OS X 10.11.6; Safari 10.0.2 and Fx 50.1.0

Can't see them -- iOS 9.3.5; Safari and iCabMobile
To add info: The above remains true. The iOS report was generated using an iPad Air 2.

Subsequent to that report, I checked (logged in and out) using both an iPad Air 2 and an iPad Mini 1. Both are at iOS 9.3.5, using landscape and portrait, Safari and iCabMobile, device content blocking as a non-factor.

Can see them -- same as above post for OS X 10.11.6, and in addition, iOS 9.3.5 iPad Mini 1.

Can't see them (still) -- iOS 9.3.5; Air 2

Any updates in relation any of this? The issue still seems to be there, just as before.

Something I noticed, at least with macOS, is that when I'm on one particular network the icons seem to show up fine (it happens to be a wired network, but I don't think that plays as much of a role), but when I switch to a different network (in this case a wireless one) the same browser window will not show the icons. It almost seems like this might be something IP/region based perhaps?
 
My previous results were generated from the same network, both wired and wireless. It's not likely I'll be able to test elsewhere for some time.
---------------------------
My assumption is these are Font Awesome icons. Maybe editing or an update to Version 4.7.0 is needed.

My graphical issues are popping up on all of my devices (iPhone, iPad, and iMac). I first noticed it with my avatar at the page header, but avatars that are superimposed upon other avatars (on the lefthand forum list) as appear to have issues.

I'm still seeing the same issues to this day. Wondering if anyone involved with the site has gotten a chance to look into it in the past few months (perhaps @arn or someone else)?

My pushpins and lpadlocks have disappeared while using my iPad Air 2 running latest OS as well.

Additionally, they aren't showing up on my iPhone 7 either, but they do appear on my work iMac.

Yeah, the issue is still ongoing for me as well. Sometimes it's not there on some networks, then other times it will be there even on the same device and the same browser and the same exact tab, but just on a different network.

They never show up on my iOS devices but are always there on my OS X machines.
I see the icons sometimes on different devices and not other times on the same devices (be they iOS or macOS). Best I can tell is that it can be depended on the (WiFi) network that I'm connected to. Perhaps there's some issue with some regions not being able to pull various images from where they are hosted, or some CDN not working correctly somewhere.
