I use Firefox and I see the original icons.
You have to refresh your front INDEX page.

Imagine a child who stumbled upon this site yesterday. The front page is a forum, and most children will just think BORING and leave.
But now look at these penis icons today. They are so like the dog bone icons on lots of sites for children. And children will know you are supposed to click the bone. What this site has done has used an icon which makes the front page of the site specifically attractive to children and encourages them to click through.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
It may not be legal. The USA's Child Online Protection Act (1998) imposes a duty to protect children from materials harmful to minors. This seems to be a direct invitation to children to view.
However tiny the risk it is a risk and it is a needless risk.

I voted to remove but I think your argument is daft.
My main objection to them is that they're silly.
I can't see them.
Firefox 3.5.2
Have you refreshed the Index page? Try few times.
I tried that. I still see the old ones... which is fine by me.
They'd be better if they pointed up if the thread had new posts and down (limp) if it didn't.
