New favicon for Physics Forums

[A.T.]

With the new look, I think PF should get a new favicon. Here some suggestions:

Thanks A.T. I'll look into this.

Thanks Greg. Matches the new color scheme much better.

Note to others: Clear the cache and reload if you still see the old one.

For Mac users, it appears that the Safari web browser does not support dynamic faviconing(?), but does display and update the number of alerts:

The top browser is Chrome, the bottom, Safari.

I don't think there is any way around this, based on my interpretation of a level 10(ninja?) Mac user:

What's happened to the favicon in Safari 8?

Hi ..
WebpageIcons database may be corrupted.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. It may take a day for your webpage icons to re populate.

True, for the odd browser, if dynamic favicon updating is not possible it will alter the page title to include the number of new alerts.

Somehow I missed bookmarking lisab and being OCD about things.

Edit: This is a good time to apply this method.
I'm not really . Which I'm sure you know. ;)
