    We used to, but it's been lost somewhere in migration. I'm all for putting it back, but I don't have the original.

    I'm all for putting my face there as a placeholder until we can grab a new one.

    It was actually the elements of harmony, IIRC. But, that's actually a nice alternative.

    The weird thing is that it's still visible on my screen. You can see it in any of the recent screen shots I've put up. I have no idea why. I've tried getting the Favicon replaced to no avail. I'm still working on it.

    If sized down, a lot, will this be a good replacement for the old favicon?

    I get this everywhere else [​IMG]
    But i get this on the main page [​IMG]

    I always just assumed there was a mess up when placing the favicon in the xenforo main directory but it seems to be the cache messing up since everyone is apparently seeing different things.

    If you need I could help with a favicon?

    Browsers do insane caching on the favicon. You basically have to add a <link rel="icon" type="image/{png,ico,whatever}" href="/path/to/favicon.{ico,png,whatever}"> (inside of the <head>) if you want to make sure that browsers update the cache

    EDIT: While you'r at it, that apple-touch-icon is also quite generic.... http://www.everypony.com/styles/default/xenforo/logo.og.png

    Now what is insanely strange about that is over on my forum I have changed the favicon a few times and it refreshed for everyone just fine no cache problems so I don't understand why this site is having trouble, my forum and this forum both use xenforo so it should act the same.
