Question for Scott -- SatelliteGuys FavIcon Oddity

[Foxbat]

Hey Scott, I was noticing that after all the updates to the Site and all, that the FavIcon in the browser Tab has an odd addition:

What's up with the Red Dot? I thought it might indicate an Alert for my account, but I have no Alerts currently and it's still there in my Tab now:

Is anybody else seeing this? MacBook Air, running macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 using Safari.

I tried it with Chrome 149.0.7827.156 and it looks normal:

According to the Google, it means I have a Notification on this site. But, I thought I had cleared all my Alerts. I've tried Emptying my Cache, but it's still present.

The red dot is working fine for me on Firefox 152.0 under Windows 10.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Working fine for me in Chrome and Safari.

There is nothing there for me to control its all built in, and there are no settings.

Looking at Xenforo's support forums it seems this is to indicate a caching issue on your browser. Which looks like the case here since its working for everyone else fine.

Ahh.. It may be related to this...

Streak leaderboard I turned it on but didn't know it would give feedback, I wanted to run it secretly in the background and let it build up data to show who the lost loyal users are.

It was set to notify people after 7, 30, 100, and 365 days without missing a day logging in here.

When I looked at it, it only showed 7 days ...
I did notice that 90% of this in the 50 it showed, started a Long time ago (15+ years ago) so that shows you are doing things right, that people are sticking around.

It was just installed last week. I wish it could use historical data.

Just something fun.

I removed it. Let's see if Roland's dot goes away.

I have unread alerts right now and I do not have the red dot in the latest version of Firefox and Chrome and in Safari I do not have have a favicon at all.

That'd likely be the same caching issue but in reverse.

Well, I would say, "Yes, the Red Dot is gone." Unfortunately, now the FavIcon is gone as well.

Lost the SatGuys logo and it got replaced with a generic "S". I inspected the page and there is no FavIcon.jpg in the Resource List of images. It is still there in Chrome.

Can I rename your account to Problem Child?

Of course! I was in IT, mostly because I had a particularly unique set of skills for breaking IT…
