It's been pointed out (and very noticeable by me) that the old favicon.ico is missing, so please copy that file into the phpBB install directory (I don't have my login info for the new server).
Been in place since August 4th @ 18:00 UTC:

And is quite visible:
favicon.icoNot sure why browsers aren't picking it up (nor does favicon.ico get picked up for me on the main nesdev site either). The MD5 checksums are the same between the main nesdev site's icon and the forum favicon:
Code:
$ md5sum forums/favicon.ico www/favicon.ico
59d3a983e131bc4e0a4df3f9be9dbc30 forums/favicon.ico

If I bookmark the main nesdev site I do end up with the proper favicon in my bookmarks, but with the forum URL I do not. Can't explain that. I do see people's browsers fetching it and the webserver returning HTTP 200 though, as well as some HTTP 304 ("content not modified", e.g. already in the browser's cache). Example:
Code:
190.212.32.163 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:32:17 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
99.238.135.235 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:32:34 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
189.5.252.190 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:35:37 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
98.201.6.127 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:35:37 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
98.237.1.189 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:40:31 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 304 -
50.47.123.231 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:41:30 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 304 -
108.194.111.172 - - [05/Aug/2012:02:49:05 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
EDIT: Interesting. Notice that the number of bytes sent back to the browser in that log is 142 bytes, yet the actual Content-Length header shows 318 bytes. The file is indeed 318 bytes, so I don't know why the webserver is sending back 142 bytes of content (or WHAT it's sending back). WhoaMan will need to debug this. If Apache is set up on the server with some kind of internal caching (or if there's squid in the way, etc.) model, then that may be what's responsible. (Parodius did not use any caching modules or squid). If I fetch the file manually with curl:
Code:
67.180.84.87 - - [05/Aug/2012:03:09:38 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 318
But with Firefox:
Code:
67.180.84.87 - - [05/Aug/2012:03:10:21 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 142
I'd need to use Wireshark to figure out what's going on here, but my guess is the Apache server may be configured oddly, I just don't know how/what would cause this. Again, WhoaMan would need to resolve it.

I also wonder if we can edit the admin name color to be same normal users, the red text on blue is horrible on the eyes.
Probably -- it may be a style or CSS modification though.
