    DOH! Didn't notice till now.
    The old one always reminded me of the Pittsburg Steelers’ logo.

    The white backing confused me and I lost TA for a few hours.

    I changed the icon since the old one was really terrible and didn't look like the Arcanum symbol at all. And the white background was added since the icon wouldn't look good in 8-bit color without it.

    Anyway, I've now added a 32-bit version of the icon with transparency, you will see it if your OS supports 32-bit icons (Windows XP or newer).

    I have Vista, and my favicon still has a white background.

    Looks like your browser cache still has the old one, it will update eventually or you can clear it manually.

    Yup, I had to reinstall Vista and lose all the 750 GB of shit, some of it important, that was on my harddrive, so I've cleared my cache alright.

    I actually think the old one was the WorldEd icon too, rather than the Arcanum one.

    Heh.
    Actually I was confusing the favicon with the "Who's Online" logo at the bottom. Which used to be a white circle with colored dots inside.

    I'd blame the drugs, but I haven't had any.

    Then all that remains is general stupidity.

    Btw, the new icon has loaded for me some time ago and it looks pretty great, nice job Drog.

    Well, the General stupidity is better than the lieutenant or sergeant stupidity!
