Several users report missing badge icons, specifically for the SA, EA, HH, and Trophy badges, on both desktop and mobile devices. While some badges like Insight Author and Gold remain visible, others appear as empty boxes, particularly on mobile. Users have attempted common troubleshooting steps such as refreshing the cache and restarting devices without success. Additional issues include missing icons for post editing features and hyperlink management in the editor. The problem has been acknowledged, and further investigation is planned to resolve these icon display issues.

Have some of the badge icons gone missing for other people? The SA, EA, HH and Trophy badge icons seem to have vanished for me both on my laptop and phone. Insight Author, Mentor, Emeritus and Gold are still there. I still see the badge words on laptop, but on mobile I only see empty boxes with the coloured borders (the words aren't normally shown there, of course). See screenshot below. I use Firefox on Android and Linux. I've tried a cache refresh and close-and-reopen. No joy and, as I say, it's affecting two machines.

I see them in the image you posted. Do you not see them?

That's a desktop screenshot (I realize I didn't make that clear). The words are there, but they used to have icons like the Insight Author does. Mobile doesn't have the words anyway, so all I have is an empty box.

Greg apparently understood me despite my poor writing - thanks Greg.

2. The options that come up when an image is clicked while editing a post:

I believe @Greg Bernhardt is already aware of these bugs.

Found another missing icon: when I add a hyperlink and then click on the link text, a pop-up comes up. The icon for unlink is gone:
