Jumbled icons after update (v2.2.0.beta5 +109)

After updating to Discourse (v2.2.0.beta5 +109), me and some of my users have seen a jumbled home screen with icons misplaced all over the page and they are either too big or too small. I was able to figure out that a simple hard refresh fixes this for people, but many of my users might not know this (even after sending out a mass email about it).

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to fix this rather than having every single users affected (refresh their page)? It’s also tough because I don’t know every single user who was affected.

It’s probably not a bug, there was an important update regarding the fontawesome icons : Introducing Font Awesome 5 and SVG icons

If you customized your theme a bit before this update, you need to tweak some things. Upgrade every theme component you use, and it should be clean after that
