Multiple new UI bugs
I noticed this morning that the site UI got significantly worse. I'm using the web version of 7 Cups in Firefox 93.0.
Here are all of the problems I've been able to find so far.
1) The "Upvote" icon is no longer visible beside posts on each forum's home page
2) The "Replies" icon is now replaced with a box on the "New", "Top", and "Needs Reply" pages, as well as all subforum pages
3) There is an unsightly "Facebook Share" button directly above the original post in each thread that practically collides with the poster's profile picture. This is not only an eyesore, but it's also unnecessary since a "Facebook Share" button already exists in the top-right.
4) There is now a thin blue box hovering above the 1-on-1 chats list.
[Note: the black boxes were added by me to protect 1-on-1 chat confidentiality. I'm referring to the box I've circled in red.]
5) For users with forum editing privileges, the "Pin Thread" icon is now missing
6) For users with forum editing privileges, the "Edit Subforum" icon is now missing

1) Can we get these bugs fixed?
2) This is not the first time that something like this has happened. Does the tech team have a process for testing their changes before applying them? Reviewing their changes after applying them? I find it hard to believe that someone looked at this carefully and then said, "Yup, that looks perfect. That's exactly what we want the site to look like."

Testing
@AffyAvo @7cupscommunity I was hoping this was a case of fixing one issue and another pops up but it seems like the old issues such as subscribing to a thread are still an issue.
The upvotes on the main forum page aren't updating properly to add to the list.
@AffyAvo @QuietMagic Some of the missing icons are indeed because someone tried to fix one issue but inadvertently caused several others. What happened was an upgrade of the icon font from version 4 to version 5. Unfortunately the new version is not fully backwards compatible with the old one. I don't know why there was a need to upgrade the font.
The upvotes icon is missing because someone typed upvote in the code, but the icon is really called thumbs-up. This error seems to be independent of the font version.
There is what appears to be a test server at dev.7cups.com, and the upvotes icon is missing there too.It would be good if the community could review changes there before they go live.

@QuietMagic Are tags working? My notifications are unusually quiet.
@AffyAvo
I don't believe they are working. Yesterday I stumbled across a post that I was tagged in where I didn't receive a tag notification.
@QuietMagic I got a notification about a new post but no tag notification from your post.
@AffyAvo
I just got a tag notification from your post
@QuietMagic I am still not getting them, just new post notifications after subscribing separately from posting.
@AffyAvo
Tags were working for me yesterday but stopped working this morning.
We are looking into these issues currently about the User Interface. The developer team is looking into the matter as well.
@7CupsCommunity
Great, thank you
@7CupsCommunity Thanks hopefully features are working properly soon!
@7CupsCommunity
I've confirmed that Issues #2-6 from my initial post have all been fixed. #1 is still outstanding.
@QuietMagic @AffyAvo
Hey, you two, thanks for bringing these up. We're working towards fixes for all of them ASAP.
