Either I just noticed this now or it's a recent change...
Regardless, I appreciate the leaf in the favicon for the normal page is red while for the forum it's green.
An easily overlooked but nice feature 👏

You're right. I only see it in Safari for macOS and that's why I didn't notice it earlier. Normally I use Safari on iPadOS and there it is indeed green for both.

The front page specifies a `mask-icon` while the form doesn't. Most browsers don't seem to use the `mask-icon` at all but Safari uses it for tabs. Pretty sure when the tab icons were introduced in Safari for pinned tabs that was the only way a website could get an icon to show up there (typical Apple my way or the highway), but at some point they started showing normal favicons too.

Leaf?? Am I really the only one who thinks the icon is a picture of a puckering cyclops with a bad combover?
