RFF Favicon ?

[HuubL]

Why doesn't RFF have a nice personal favicon? Now it's the only Bookmark with a dull default blank icon. Perhaps something for a developers contest?

It is an easy thing to do. Even I did it for my own site.
Jorge?

Now I have to goggle favicon to find out what we are talking about.

OK, a shortcut button thingy placed up on one of those bars at the top of the page.

Gottcha!!!

So, what does it do?

( will have to check out the CNN favicon when I get home as it is not showing here at my desk )

it doesnt do anything but it shows up if you bookmark a page and it shows up next to the url. It just looks cool. So now where you see the little world next to the url there could be a RFF logo

I just figured that out.

I am all for cool. 😎

Um, needless to say, I will not be taking on this project.

we could have a "create a RFF favicon contest"

A favi...what?

In my Windows/Firefox bookmark there is already a little RF camera shown.

Im on a mac with Safari at work and a mac with Firefox at home.
No favicon shown on my bookmark.......

There used to be one--a little black RF camera--but then it disappeared. And it never appeared on the individual forum pages, just the home page.

First suggestion.... This is a clipping from the logo on top of the screen. There are favicon generator java programs on the web (google..) that can convert this to a favicon.

has to be 16x16 pixels for many older browsers:



Won't let me upload the .ico version

favicons are a pain, coming from a part-time web editor. As has been stated, 16x16 pixels, and that's not a whole lot of room for what most people think of as an "icon."

A customer recently asked why HE didn't have one. Asked me to make one "from our logo." Hours of work later, I bill him for a tiny portion of the total hours for what he calls "two measly triangles." Yeah, I'm a big fan of "favicons" :/

I am not a digital artist 😀

Did the headmaster here indeed listen to my last year's plea for an RFF favicon? Since a couple of weeks I noticed that my bookmark for RFF in Firefox has a nice blue and red favicon icon. Has anybody else noticed that too? It's not the one I suggested above, but it's nice to see we have one now. Strange though that the icon is not shown on the address line in the browser.

I don't see one; I'm using Internet Explorer 6.
