I recently upgraded to the latest version of Friendica (I hadn't noticed there was an update until yesterday) and now when I see a post on my timeline from one of the less popular services (e.g.: BookWyrm) there is no longer an icon in the corner of the post linking me back to the source. There used to at least be an icon for the protocol with a link back to the source post. Is there no way to find this now?

Edit: The problem turned out to be that some of the icons weren't visible against my theme's black background.

Edit 2: Changing the theme and then changing it back fixed the problem for some reason.

The icons have been replaces by SVG images. Maybe your browser can't display them?

@Michael Vogel They appear for most services (Mastodon, Friendica's, PixelFed, etc.), but they don't appear for others (e.g.: BookWyrm, Diaspora)

@Michael Vogel I tried to share an example of one that wasn't working and found my problem. It was a black icon displaying on a black background. It's there; It's just not visible. I'll have to change my theme.

Not all icons exist in all variants. e.g. there is an open issue to add a colored variant of the iceshrimp icon.

A common problem on updating web applications is that the browser still might have old data (images, CSS files, ...) cached. Usually a forced reload (Ctrl-Reload or Cmd-Reload) will help in that case.

@M.Scheriau @Michael Vogel I do not believe this to have been a caching issue (at least not on the part of the browser) as the previous icons were not SVG format. I imagine it was a bug in the database migration that changing the theme resolved.

I think that this is unrelated to the database. Possibly it was a template caching problem.

Can you share browser and version as well as your instance.org/settings/display > Platform icons style setting.
