The favicon for the site is really low-res

September 1, 2018, 07:30 PM

Meathead - this is an issue if you save the site to your homescreen under iOS. See the pic to get a better idea what I'm talking about. Contrast this to the favicon from www.thefooddictator.com which is very high res (5th icon row, #3).

Message me and I can explain how to re-do your favicon so it's high-res.

So far, I've had 2 days to really check this site out and love the content! Vbulletin is very old software though and not optimized for smartphones, modern PCs or chat styles that young people are used to.

I am very partial to Discourse, which is free, open-source and addresses the issues I just mentioned. Details at https://www.discourse.org/about and they have very robust conversion capabilities from vbulletin. This gentleman can easily help migrate the forum (I've heard good things about his work) - https://www.literatecomputing.com/

I've taken the liberty of generating the needed favicons based on this image: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/21...becc560af0.jpg

Email me and I can send them to you - here are the directions once you receive them:
Extract this package in the root of your web site. If your site is http://www.example.com, you should be able to access a file named http://www.example.com/favicon.ico.

Insert the following code in the <head> section of your pages:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png"> <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest"> <link rel="mask-icon" href="/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5"> <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#da532c"> <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">
