Sorry guys, I reverted it for now. 😕 I need some time to fix it before I merge it again. Please use Lilly’s solution until then.

I really like this component, but I found the “ghost” icon to be a weird choice. I used the “[comments](https://fontawesome.com/icons/comments?f=classic&s=solid)” icon instead.

Matter of taste. But I feel idea of ghosting quite tasty. For me (I don’t what my community thinks) an otter works better — those don’t want to play alone 😂

Taking a quick glance at the code, I believe @Don has already made the updated code, but still left the old code there (which I think can be removed now).
