None of the Fontawesome icons are loading on the Dromaria.com version of the site but load fine on the World Anvil version. This includes the > symbols in my breadcrumbs as well.   As of yesterday things were fine. We have checked across multiple computers and phones to confirm it was a PC cache issue.   Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce

go to Dromaria.com vs https://www.worldanvil.com/w/dromaria and browse a bit.

Operating System

Windows

This is due to how FontAwesome sets security - they require each domain to be whitelisted in their settings in order to access the icon kit. We're working on some changes to how we load FontAwesome, which will resolve this as a side effect, but for now this is a limitation of the current setup.

Just to clarify this is in response to the way FontAwesome handles the charging for professional (PRO) accounts. which meant that we can no longer supply the full set of icons for free. We are working with FontAwesome and internally to find a way to resolve this for other domains.

Is there a way to be updated about this info as it drastically changes the look of the site?
