Change votes icon in user activity to 'check-to-slot'

AI-generated summary

The discussion centers on standardizing the icon used for votes in the Discourse user activity section. Moin suggests replacing the current heart icon, which is used for likes, with the ‘check-to-slot’ icon already utilized for the topic voting plugin in the admin sidebar. putty supports this change by providing visual examples of how the checkmark icon represents votes effectively. NateDhaliwal raises a question regarding consistency with the Horizon High context topic cards. chapoi acknowledges that they had previously been unsure about which icon to use for topic cards and notes that the checkmark is a better fit than the previously considered options. Consequently, chapoi has updated the topic cards to match the proposed standard and implemented the change via pull request #37194.

When the icons for plugins in the admin sidebar were added, was chosen for the topic voting plugin.

I’d like to suggest also using that icon in the user activity. Currently, the icon there is a heart, just like it is for likes.

Hmm… what about in Horizon: High Context Topic Cards?

Hmm, I was actually in doubt what to use for the topic cards and didn’t think we already had a different icon in use (like exhibit A).

Will most likely update the cards to match.
