Not sure if it’s a bug or me doing something wrong, however after I’ve activated the use of S3 for uploads (DigitalOcean Spaces) the favicon and user custom avatar isn’t working anymore, it’s just the default image..

Uploads in posts works and the favicon and user avatar is also uploaded to S3 but the URL for it on the forum hasn’t changed so that the icon and avatar is showing?
