Ficons are Sprites - Omniscient - Jun 10, 2018
https://hackforums.net/uploads/ficons/ficon_sprite.png
That's the new ficon sprite which has replaced the hundreds of small images we had previously.
Ficons are now controlled by this CSS page:
https://hackforums.net/cache/themes/theme10/ficon.css
These could be in cache so if you are not seeing the ficons properly please try to load each of those pages in your browser and F5 refresh them.
I've also set our Browser Cache to 8 days which it was previously just 8 hours.
Thanks to Xerotic for working on this.
I hope to possibly also do the awards as a sprite but that's more complicated and we just may not bother.

I quote iHydra "A sprite is a single image. Browsers used to download a file like an image one at a time. Not too long ago they began to download in parallel. But even then, it's numerous image files being downloaded instead of a single one. Sprite contains all ficons in 1 file and uses CSS to designate what X, Y, Height, Width each ficon is in that overall image.
In return, it speeds up loading up any page that uses ficons. A page like index.php, it's significant and worth the feature."

It might be off by a little bit. They'll fix it.

CTRL+F5 on HF’s home page will rectify that. Otherwise in time it will correct itself.

That's smart. I wouldn't have ever thought to do that.
