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.

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

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.

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?

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.
