ok - well, maybe I don't know where that is - when I extract the 32px
icon from the SVG file, of icons, that I have (maybe I'm out of date) I
get a 26x32 px image - now you did catch me, I changed that export to be
24 x 30 px and then centered that on a 32 x 32 px canvas, giving a
little bit of extra empty space around it..

So - I went back, did the export at 26 x 32 image and centered that on a
32x32 transparent canvas, this way it lines right up with the other
images, and I don't touch any of the real data.

This exact file is what is on the wiki here

and you can see what it will ~look like here :

I don't mind being precise on this type of stuff.

Well, the added white space from pbpBB is what it is, I'm not going to
ask to adjust the theme for this one icon - although that is exactly the
thought that lead me to add that little extra in the first graphic
BTW :-)

Anyway - I suppose it looks ok - I can always go back to my original,
but IMO not really worth it.

That's why I asked - if folks don't want outside sites to use this icon,
then I won't buck, I'll just make up a symbol or ask you to do so :-/

Best wishes,

Drew
