Hello everyone!
I'm here just to remind you to clear your browser's cache so you can see the new visuals of our forum!
Like most browsers, you can do that in the same place where you clean your browser's history. If you are using a mobile device to connect, you will need to clear the application's cache instead. Doing it regularly will prevent you from seeing some visual issues.
If you don't want to keep cleaning your cache every now and then, leave a comment down below, and I will make you a tutorial on how to disable cache in your browser.
Have a nice week!

Just to be sure: I still see the old logo in the header, so this was not yet changed? I tried multiple browsers, so caching should not be involved.

Have you tried tapping CTRL + F5?

I did CTRL + F5 but my Chromebook did a screenshot instead of clearing cache.

The only new visual I see is the fav icon. Even fired up a fresh browser on a VM to verify.

Coincidentally, I cleared my cache right before I read the post where you mentioned it and I’m still seeing the old logo, too. I’m on an iPad, so there is no CTRL + F5 option. On the bright side, I also like the old logo, so it’s not a big deal.

Yes, it is the same for me. Favicon in the Browser tab is the new logo, but emptying Cache or using another Browser/Sys did not change the main logo.

I can see (since yesterday) both the favicon and the new logo on the header with a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) on my Firefox browser.

Even loading strictly the banner graphic and only see the old. I don't think it's being sourced by a CDN.

Using Opera
Asked it to clear the cache, including images, nothing
Used Crap Cleaner, nothing
Eventually went to the advanced settings for Opera and told it to ditch everything bar passwords and voilà : )

The same. I went also online over a different (mobile) provider on the smartphone and there also the old logo. Seems there is some pre-homenetwork caching for my country?

Just finished re-building Forum's internal cache, let's see if the problem is fixed.
