Website Forum Bug: Apple-Touch-Icon Issue

[nikpawlak]

There is a problem with the forum apple-touch-icon.

It doesn't render when the forums are saved to an iPhone or iPad home screen, it also doesn't show up on the Safari Start page on iOS,iPadOS or macOS. 

Not sure the cause of the issue but the header code for the Main affinity.serif.com site and the Affinity online help site do not have this same issue. just for the forum.affinity.com subdomain.

I have tested this on Many devices running older and current versions of iOS and MacOS. Nothing.

 

Not a big deal but it is a small annoyance.

Your screenshot also illustrates that the second icon (Help site?) is low resolution.

Yeah Garrett, it absolutely is pulling the low res icon.

affinity.help

Whats strange is both the forum and affinity.help have a hand full of link tags referencing multiple different sizes of touch-icon

the affinity.serif.com has a single line that it is pulling from.

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

I'm not sure if removing all of the specified sizes and just referring to the largest icon available would do the trick but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

This is actually a bug in the forum software we use and will be resolved in the next update to the Forums.

The issue with the low res Apple touch icon coming from affinity.help is a different issue and is being raised with the team who look after that site.  So this should also be resolved shortly
