We (I) administer the forum. We (I) don’t develop the forum software.

Where possible, we (I) change settings in the administrative interface to improve the experience for users, but I don’t do other stuff such as directly edit php or theme files, since these are routinely overwritten by joomla/community builder/kunena updates and 100% “click to keep up to date with php security flaws” is much more important than making cosmetic changes.

So for instance the method joomla documents for changing the favicon will be overwitten the next time joomla updates or changes the default theme: https://docs.joomla.org/changingthesite_favicon

The “mark all topics read” button disappeared in a Kunena update. If someone will point me at information about how to re-add the button through the administrator interface, I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’m not going to develop and implement such functionality.

I did add the requested link.

I do not know where the joomla core for the kunena extension is and is configured.
In the link (https://docs.joomla.org/changingthesite_favicon) at the end of the page (last code box):
=> // Try to find a favicon by checking the template and root folder <= Could be the problem. In the root linuxcnc.org I can see a favicon.png but I can not find favicon.ico (with correct filetype: .ico). If joomla probably can not find favicon.ico it will probably automatically put into the template the protostar default joomla icon ???

For some reason I couldn’t upload a favicon.ico or favicon.zip (zip file w/ favicon in it). So, I put it on imgur, you should be able to download favicon.ico of chips there.

@tseufl the point is, the location is one that is overwritten with joomla updates.
