No Hard Light Productions favicon?
on: February 15, 2004, 11:36:57 pm
Hey all! This website and forum seems to be the top of the line in webpage development.  And a lot of us seem to be using mozilla/firebird/firefox i.e. browsers that DO support favicons (little icon next to URL and bookmarks).
But this page seems to have no favicon yet?!  While I am not artistically gifted enough to make one I'm sure someone out there is.  Maybe this thread can be an area for users to post a favicon idea and get a webmaster to install it?

*gruffy old geezer voice* Back in my day, favicons were on a per-domain basis - you'd stick a favicon.gif (.ico?) on the root dir of a domain (www.blahblah.com/favicon.gif) and the browser'd take care of the rest.

What's the latest in favicon integration technology? I have a hazy recollection of it being selectable via HTML tags, but I haven't a clue as to what the code is.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Once upon a time, Gamespy used their's since it's their server, but even that seems to have been taken down.

I usually assign it FS2 icon manually.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

a quick search shows there is a tag in the < head > area:
< link rel="shortcut icon" >
I got this from www.favicon.com

gahhh *changes signature* I am suprised noone in the firstones.com forums caught that misspell yet :)

Put spaces between the lesser and greater than signs because the vB was parsing the HTML tags. // Setekh

Okay, how does this look: bookmark this page (ignore all the broken image links). The icon turns up for me on the bookmark list, but not at the top right of my IE window... :nervous:

Nifty, works for me on firefox 0.8

Edit: Actually it doesn't work in the bookmark menu, only next to the URL

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Hmmm. Okay, it now works on IE's bookmark list and address bar, and I can see it in Mozilla's address bar, but Firefox's address bar is displaying the GameSpy icon for me. :wtf: Anyone else?

I think gamespy has some thing where any address associated with 3dap.com has the gamespy favicon.
Maybe you can do it on the dynamic4.gamespy.com addresses?
Internet Explorer never got favicons right yet... they work 10% of the time and maybe less... only non-IE browsers do favicons right almost all the time.
