WTF is up with the Favicon?
-
Last Friday and Yesterday, I noticed the forum's favicon were shown as seen below:
Obviously, it's not the date. It's not a notification counter either. And, when I refresh, it goes away and returns to the regular interrobang. So, what gives? Discourse bug or something else?
-
Unread topic count?
-
I think it has to do with this setting:
It seems to not even work properly, though.
-
Huh... I left a tab open on the forum home page and yes, that indeed seems to be what's happening. I guess Discourse must have a feature to take the site's favicon and dynamically modify it by slapping a number on top.
-
OK, yes, I ticked that box a long time ago and forgot about it because it doesn't actually display incoming message notifications in the favicion. It only shows notifications for new topics when you are on the homepage. Durrr....
-
Unread topic count?
Yes. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some discussion on meta.d about that.
EDIT: WTF just happened? I have changed that sentence before submitting, but it submitted the old version anyway.

Another candidate for the Discourse slogan.

But... But... Doing It Wrong™ is doing it right, right?

I have had that happen as well, but it was during one of the times the server was being flaky.

I never noticed before, but i guess Chrome doesn't do favicons?
-
Oh look--hit reply in Chrome, open IE to do a comparison, get a post editor window in IE.
And it looks like pasting images doesn't work in IE?
-
That favicon notification number thing works in chrome. Well, only if the Discotab is on the forum's startpage.

"what.thedailywtf.com" is the forum start page, right?

And you need to check a checkbox in your WTDWTF preferences.
