When you make a PM into a topic the đź’¬ icon seems to be missing as you can see in the image below.
This is in the topic 🔧 admin actions in a PM

oh it’s there all right, it’s just not showing because of some shenanigans, possibly fontawesome 6 not being awseome… 🤔 lol
Thanks for the heads up!

I just converted this to a PM and back to a topic and it seems the icon appears correctly? 🤔

it looks like this is expecting a different icon for some reason…
edit: looking at the code for small actions, it appears it falls back to “exclamation” when a matching icon can’t be found… but the `public_topic` does have an icon defined… the plot thickens

I’m not sure that’s ever worked on our forum, we have many silly posts that were made into actions as a joke, and none of those have icons visible.

That happens because Meta is a public site. The action code is different in that case.

There is different text when `login required` is enabled.

I think the problem is that while there is an icon for “public\_topic”, there is no icon defined for “open\_topic”.
