    When I to google site on my browser, there are some icons of sites previously visited.

    I cant get the default nodeBB icon to change here, even though I uploaded a favicon.
    In the Admin menu, is this icon called something else?

    @cagatay It should be, yes. You don’t need any CSS though…

    Hi Both,

    Can you please ensure that the favicon is present in both locations

    /path/to/nodebb/public/favicon.ico
    /path/to/nodebb/public/uploads/system/favicon.ico
    

    Then restart NodeBB? The files need to be present in both paths, and should be the below

    @Panda I’m aware that your site is hosted, so you are going to be at the mercy of NodeBB themselves here.

    @phenomlab yes, so this is a flaw then, if successful Favicon can’t be uploaded from the Admin panel?
    Worth me raising on NodeBB forum?

    @Panda It’s been raised multiple times, but only for the open source version, and not hosted.

    @Panda it will use SMTP. In all cases, I never use any plugin to send email. I’ll always send it raw.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @RiekMedia hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?
