He's done it again.

So, for those of you that have not yet read, or somehow otherwise missed the site update blog, have the link.

So major points:
1.

The biggest change is icon changes. I haven't completed this change yet but basically instead of image icons I'm now using FontAwesome which means the icons are actually now a font.

While I can see this being a good things, mainly because you can use addons to recolor them. I can also see this being a bad thing. Fonts could take longer to load, and it seems that people are already having problems with FontAwesome.

2.

5. The way stories are set as read has changed, but was not mentioned. You can now uncheck read stories.

6. User boxes have been changed a bit. They look a little better in my opinion.

7. Maybe it's just me, but the banners don't seem to be loading.

8. Notifications still don't update on the page. If you had any when a page was loaded, it continues to say you have that many, even after you load a new tab and check them.

That's all the things I've seen in this update. If I missed anything, let me know.
