    When I to google site on my browser, there are some icons of sites previously visited.

    I cant get the default nodeBB icon to change here, even though I uploaded a favicon.
    In the Admin menu, is this icon called something else?

    @cagatay It should be, yes. You don’t need any CSS though…

    Hi Both,

    Can you please ensure that the favicon is present in both locations

    /path/to/nodebb/public/favicon.ico
    /path/to/nodebb/public/uploads/system/favicon.ico
    

    Then restart NodeBB? The files need to be present in both paths, and should be the below

    @Panda I’m aware that your site is hosted, so you are going to be at the mercy of NodeBB themselves here.

    @phenomlab yes, so this is a flaw then, if successful Favicon can’t be uploaded from the Admin panel?
    Worth me raising on NodeBB forum?

    @Panda It’s been raised multiple times, but only for the open source version, and not hosted.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB: Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that? I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.
