that from the website?
in RPI and prosilver the website always has the same web favicon (the raspberry pi logo)
{ I only give negative feedback }

I see the Raspberry icon on the browser tab using RPI, but no icon with prosilver.

I agree; no icon on prosilver.

Re: STICKY: NEW FORUM SKIN - Comments here please.
Note that this has been missing for quite some time now.
I noticed that my tab was unadorned (blank) for the RPI board at least a month ago (probably 2 or 3). It is still blank as we speak, and I don't think it matters which skin you use.

Seem to have lost one of the domain records at the same time as the forum upgrade: forums.raspberrypi.org
Quite a few web links use that - at first I thought the forum was down...

We've never had an IPv4 address for forums.raspberrypi.org, that's always been a v6 only link direct to the backend webserver for monitoring which probably should have been more firewalled than it was.
So whilst it's nice that some people were using v6 only accessible services, I'm not going to reenable it, if only because it makes IP based spam filtering much harder to implement.

Google has indexed it though, so every one of these ~6,500 links now don't work:

Over the past few days quite a few of my google searches have ended up at that dns error.

I've got a HE tunnel & radvd (route advertiser daemon) running on a Raspberry.
https://tunnelbroker.net/
That gets a simple/free IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel. The only hard part was disabling dhcpcd on that Raspberry so I could use the old fashioned /etc/network/interfaces for the IPv6 tunnel. The "hard part" is running an IPv6 firewall on each Raspberry as my home router can't filter/block the IPv6 traffic.

Re: STICKY: NEW FORUM SKIN - Comments here please.
Heh heh. I just noticed now that, for the first time in month(s), the icon (in the tab bar of my browser) is back. So, something must have gotten fixed since I last posted.
Note: Just to make this perfectly clear, the tab bar icons for all my other sites are and always have been working fine. It is just the one for the RPI forum (this forum in which I am typing at the moment) that had been failing.
But, as noted, it is working now, although it seems to flash on and off a bit.

Re: STICKY: NEW FORUM SKIN - Comments here please.
forums.raspberrypi.org was a domain name used for internal monitoring of the back-end server that was never intended to be public.
When we did the migration of the forums we moved to a new backend VM on a different IPv6 address. Since we're now complete we've switched off the old VMs so the servers have gone away. For the last week forums.raspberrypi.org has been out of date pointing at the old servers.
I'm not going to re-enable it for the following reasons,
- Direct public access to the back-end was never intended to be available
- In future we may have multiple back-end web servers and it'd need to be load balanced
- It doesn't support SSL and we don't want to allow insecure logins
- A future upgrade intends to migrate to Proxy-Protocol to simply our configuration which will stop it working
The supported URL is https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums

On that note, we've moved users on the raspberry_pi theme onto RPi since it provides a much better experience in general (now that we've had the chance to properly test RPi over the last week) and it's also the default for all guests & new users. It's still possible to switch back to the raspberry_pi theme via your Board Preferences. Current Prosilver users are unaffected (and Prosilver will continue to be an option available under Board Preferences).
Re: STICKY: NEW FORUM SKIN - Comments here please.
Twitter has just announced the new theme (RPI) is available. So maybe the icon was fixed at the same time as that was rolled out. I did switch to RPI and back to Prosilver, so there's a chance that did it, but the icon is now in the Prosilver header that I'm getting and it wasn't before so I think it was fixed.

Weird, they have always worked for me anyway.....I have no idea how. It might be my stunning good looks.

Congatulations on a great job all round, smooth upgrade and impressively quick responses not just to bugs but also feature requests.
Respect to everyone involved.
