Just as you can use Font Awesome font icons for premium member badges, you can also use them for any permission circle badges, or activity level badges (instead of titles). For purposes of this tip, we will be creating a badge for Activity Level Titles, which can be set via Recipes. First, select the font icon you want from the FontAwesome list of icons, here .

Thanks all for the excellent additions to the list! LOM great one! If you're going to throw a great party, you want to focus more on the comfort of your guests than yourself, right? Harold, we've always been big fans of Leo. It's cool to hear that something we did a long time ago has rippled through the years And we've definitely benefited from having you around too!
