Hello Roi!

No worry! This warning means you have either a theme component or a plugin that uses an old font-awesome icon name. You have nothing to do; it’s up to the authors to update their plugins/components.

Discourse recently migrated Fontawesome from v5 to v6; a few names must be renamed. In your case, I looked at your forum and saw `map-marker-alt` (new name is `location-dot`). It’s likely from [Locations Plugin 🌍](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742).
