favicon for forum

Post by gschoppe »

the forum needs a favicon to make it easier to find in bookmarks and sets of tabs... extracting the icon from rainmeter.exe yields a pretty recognizable icon at 16x16 and 32x32

the favicon is referenced with the line:

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/somepath/image.ico" />

in the head of each page

Yes it does. We had one before the host change. Maybe Rorix will come along and fix that.

you know, you are absolutely right, I never thought about it till now, we did have the favicon until we moved hosts.

Hoefully a code fix, and Rorix should be around for a little bit today.

When I log the first time I select the forum skin subsilver2, when I log on the site the favicon appear in the browser !
Even if I'm not logged if I click on the User Control Panel at the top of the page and the favicon will appear on this page.

A temporary Solution:
Delete your old bookmark and go to the site, click on the User Control Panel at the top of the page and the favicon will appear, click on the Rainmeter banner to go on the forum and bookmark the site again and you will have the favicon in your bookmarks list.

It appears that only subsilver2 has the favicon.

for some reason, the link rel is missing from the header template... replace that with the one from subsilver, and we're golden
