It hasn't had a favicon since I can remember. I've cleared cache on this PC just to ensure that if there was an issue it would hopefully be gone, and there still is no favicon. You guys could try clearing cache for ulyssessmod.net on chrome/firefox to see if the icon will disappear too.

Obviously this isn't really a big issue, and maybe by rare chance it is actually me. I'm just really bored, and felt like pointing it out.

After investigating more into it, I don't see any reference of <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png"/> anywhere on this website

Not sure why you aren't seeing it.. but it definitely does have one.

I concur.

Mind you, guys, favicons are cached. For quite some time.

Unless this was a recent change, however, I still see the favicon here on my school laptop on Chrome, which I only received a month ago. However, Apple is right in stating there is no direct link to the favicon file. And, more importantly, forums.ulyssesmod.net has no favicon.ico, but ulyssesmod.net itself does.

Apple, have you visited ulyssesmod.net yet? That's probably why your favicon is missing.

I have, because when I type ulx in my url, it brings me to the homepage instead of forums every time. Favicons do not automatically assert themselves to a webpage anymore, if I remember.

What do you mean by 'anymore'? I don't think there is any standard that governs how favicons are to be cached, so I highly doubt that any change to favicon caching would extend beyond one browser. Especially if said change happened recently.

If my memory serves me correctly, favicon used to automatically become the websites icon, no need to make a html link to it, it just automatically did it. Not anymore though, it might just be the way webservers handle it, or not. Either way, ulx forums does not have a favicon.
