problems with 8.8 since 8.5

I have had the same issues since 8.5 and even issued a ticket and tried the skype thing to no avail. Now trying 8.8

My font awesome icons are not showing up even WITHOUT ANY PLUGINS.

This means any content with any icons like my menu and my footer with the social links and all the stars for the listings…none of that shows up.

Also site is super slow and LISTINGS ARE NOT SHOWING UP NOW.

Please Mark help with the site to MAKE IT WORK. BTW, I need to have the Maintenance and my Caching plugin on, but even without them this problem has existed. Pls email me and I will provide you with the details.

Using Chrome and MacBook.

Thank you.

Michael
