Title: Favicons
Post by: lynn1961 on September 26, 2005, 09:35:14 AM
For those of us who are more computer "illiterate", what is a favicon?  I'm referring to the current poll, since most people voted that they had no idea what you are talking about, including myself.   :)

If you have the Firefox browser (Im not sure if other browsers support it) then in the address bar you will see a little image next to the address to the site. In the case of HTGTH it's a little red thing with GR (it might be GNR but its too small for me to tell) in it. I like it alot, keep up the good work Jarmo! :beer:

Cool, I don't think IE supports it in the address bar.

Also, I could have sworn yesterday the main page had the new GNR logo and today the old?! Is it set to alternate?  ???

There used to be an old grey favicon.

It's set to random.

Thanks, everyone, for letting me (and others) know.  But, I don't see one.  I use Microsoft Internet Explorer. so....   Oh well.

You're probably not looking in the right place because, as I've said, it DOES work in IE.

oh okay ... I noticed that too in my "favorites" listing (but not in the address bar)

Just follow AH's instructions [below] and you should see it in your 'favorites' listing.

Works fine for me.

Followed the instructions, and I have it!  I had HTGTH listed in my favorites before.  I deleted it and then just re-added it, and there was the favicon!  I like it!  Thanks! :D
