Citgo sign to go dark for two months

Associated Press reports Citgo is replacing the LEDs it used to replace the neon tubes now that the particular LEDs are no longer made.

Good riddance. Maybe they'll

Good riddance. Maybe they'll find a reason that it needs to be torn down for good. Somehow, an oil company has gotten Bostonians to embrace its garish sign as part of our culture. Like Stockholm syndrome.

They should tear you down for good

There, how do you like it, sluggo?

Piss off

Really. Just piss off.

So the website icon is dark, too?

Is this why I'm not getting the little red triangle icon on my search bar when I look at the Universal Hub site?

Damn, what a brilliant idea!

Yeah, I should make the icon go black for two months.

But in the meantime, what browser are you using? I'm seeing the triangle here, but maybe something's screwy.

Icon looks fine to me

I'm using Safari on a Mac, but the idea of favicons originated with Microsoft and it should now work in any browser. If you point your browser directly at http://UniversalHub.com/favicon.ico , what do you see?

Firefox buglet

There's an incorrect setting in FF 3.6 that I hadn't even noticed 'til Charles mentioned it upstream there. The solution is at the end of the thread:

type in the URL
about:config

change to
browser.chrome.site_icons = TRUE

In explicit terms, in about:config, filter on browser.chrome.site_icons, right-click, toggle the value to TRUE, restart FF. Works.
