    Hmmm, I don't see it neither.

    Using FF, and I have cleared my browser history and still don't see it, just the standard Vbulletin icon for me?

    OK, now I see it, and tbh, I don't understand what the problem is.

    I quite like it actually!

    I just noticed, the OP uses the exact same thing for his avatar!!!

    i voted for no. even though i like favicons and always supported the wishes to have a favicon for xs, i'd rather do without a favicon at all than this slideshow at first it looked pretty cool and i thought it's a nice gimmick, but after having several tabs with xs-threads opened i realized how distracting the sliding text actually is.

    Personally, I don't mind it...if for no other reason, just because it helps me distinguish my tabs better.

    Though I am all in favor of cleaning up the white splotches around the letters, it looks really terrible on my dark tab bar.

    Of course, I would support a full XS redesign since there are quite a few bad/outdated design choices.

    I'm not trying to make fun of anybody. Just it doesn't make sense is all. Calm down

    *edit* I see it now after restarting FF. Yeah I see no way that could give a headache
    OT: Wanna talk about headaches? Sparky, you've come close to owing me a new monitor many times. My effing retarded cat always tries to kill that damn animated bug in your sig

    On topic: If I fixate on the favicon, sure I'll get a headache. TBH, I didn't even notice it until I came across this thread. Thanks a lot now all I'm doing is staring at it.grrrr.
