To be honest, it's kind of ugly.
I like the old one...

It's new, I think they did that yesterday. I personally like this one more, since the old favicon was just the V-Bulletin default, and wasn't distinguishing at all or specific to XDA.

Check the xda portal for the color reference,

What is a color reference?
And what is the xda portal?
Xda portal = http://www.xda-developers.com ?
I did a Ctrl + F for 'color' and no results.
Cryptic message is cryptic.

I meant that the colors of the favicon reference to the colors of the portal.

It is moldy looking...

Yeah.
Looks too black. And the 'xda' is barely legible.

Be careful what you wish for...

Making a good fav icon is very very difficult because it's so small. What we have now is the most legible of many versions that were presented to is. It was made by XDA user 12aon.
If anyone wants to propose an alternative, I'd be happy to take a look.

[Q] App promotion

Is there a forum for promoting my metronome app and asking for testing/reviews?
The app is a pretty good looking (ipoddish) Android metronome

Possibly one of these - Software Development or the Apps one depending on how "User Ready" it is. BUT this only applies if this is a FREE app or at the very least has a free version for us here at xda-devs. We do not allow promotion of paid apps on the forums.
We do have a paidware forum, but that is restricted to those with a bit of history of developing here at xda-developers, so not available for new members.

Thanks for your reply. Of course this is a free app, but it seems I still don't have permissions to write to those forums
Thanks anyway

Once you make 10 posts elsewhere (in non-development threads_, you will be able to make your own thread
It's quite easy to get 10 posts...have a look in the off-topic forum and reply to some threads in there...or help someone who has a problem in the Q&A forum

Why is Device-Home not working?

Why the Device-Home direct link is not working, no subforum links at all.
Sony Xperia...
SG i9300
Very frustrating....

They are working for me when using a browser but if I use the forum app then it shows a null page. This maybe related to the forum apps & what they do when a person clicks on a sub forum link, I think they can't handle direct linking of sub forums.
I don't think its a problem with XDA forums in general but could be related to the forum app plugin.
Cheers !

Here's what I get when I click on the links in the OP(I'm using Tapatalk):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

After some testing, it is adblock or better some Google stuff which gets blocked. If ajax.googleapis.com is blocked, you will not get subforums.
I'm not sure what I should think about...sad you can't really use a forum without third party "services".

1 & 2 see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25915966&postcount=1
3 show be a given: http://www.xda-developers.com/recognized-developer-program/
4 & 5 are Members that are found to be worthy thru a process of selection from a Committee / XDA Staff to help Maintain and assist with the XDA Forums.
6 Since Swappa is now the Official Market Place for XDA, there are a few Members that take time to help and make others aware of the Official Market Place by passing info and or directing Members there: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-makes-swappa-its-official-marketplace/
7 You do not want this, if you have this, means you have been found guilty of violating the Forum Rules.
BTW #7 will get you every time, especially when duplicate accounts are created....

What happened to the "Subscribe to Forum" button?

I don't see it anywhere on the website? Is this no longer possible? I just want my favorite forums to show up in the XDA app on my phone so it's easier to read my stuff.

It's there, actually you've to go to either Q&A section or Roms & kernel section or discussion part, you'll get an option to subscribe to that part, if you go to : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8, you won't find the subscribe button, you have to choose those parts then subscribe.
