So far, it doesn't show up in Google Chrome. I dunno if anything does, though, now I think about it.

Thanks for the feedback. I just threw down a shadow on the V, but I think it might stand out too much, so I haven't made it the default yet. You can check it out though:

[EDIT] I just went with it.

Chrome does recognize the favicon system, but it has a bug where it will cache the wrong one and go blank. I don't know how to clear it, what I had to do with my other Firefox on my laptop was clear the bookmark, visit the favicon URL I linked to earlier, refresh it when it came up blank, then close and reopen the browser. Whether or not that will work for Chrome, I don't know, but I've seen other reports about the favicon problem in that browser. If you want to know if it works without going through all that, try going to the forums without the "www." in the URL:

Since the URL is different, it SHOULD recognize it as an all-new favicon for that URL, and you can decide what you wanna do.

Well, as it turned out, bookmarking the site and then leaving it alone for a couple days did the trick. I dig it.

I think the shadow helps. Still low-contrast, but it works well regardless. Nice job.
