i was just curious...i know a lot of the members of HLP use firefox... how come noone has made a little icon for HLP for firefox? just curious...i thought it'd look cool on my firefox to have a HLP icon. if anyone can show me how, but don't wanna do it... i'm up for the challenge

[Taristin]

We... err.... did have some users with the 'Get Firefox' icon under the name...

Now only Clave does, IIRC.

[Flaser]

That's not his goal AFAIS. It's a HLP-ized version of the Firefox logo to use as our own as part of the advertisation campaignm,

[Windrunner]

i was wondering that too, why we didn't have that icon.

*points in direction of setekh and styxx*

That'd be nifty!

YOUR Firefox? Unless you contributed code to it, it ain't yours.

And what you're describing is a favicon. They're not unique to Firefox. Most browsers support them these days.

uhm... that's not exactly what i meant... u know all the bookmark icons for websites? hlp should have one too... i just thought it be a good idea since most of my bookmarked sites have a little icon... sorry for all the confusion.

so if i say "my car" that would only be accurate if i worked in some way, shape or form for General Motors and/or Cadillac, and if i actually contributed something to the design of my car?

[ZylonBane]

A car is a tangible. Software is not. As you're well aware, standard usage with software is "my _____ OF software_name", where the blank is "version", "install", "copy", etc.

I have HLP bookmarked in Firefox, and it just uses the little Gamespy dude as the icon. Works for me.

[Corsair]

For www.3dap.com/hlp it doesn't show anything but I have the Hard Light forum bookmarked as well and it shows which is from deviantART so it's kinda odd.

[Taristin]

Yeah, sectorgame uses the same favicon as a furrum I have bookmarked.... dunno why. FF bug I guess.

I've noticed that occasionally when I go from a site with a pic to another, it'll often not quite notice the change. Could be another flaw along the same lines.

I suppose you don't drive YOUR car or use YOUR computer...nevermind YOUR toothbrush and other assorted items we all commonly refer to as ours.

Let's get him!

[spaceman spiff]

so how do we make a "favicon" for hlp? that's what i wanna know.

[WMCoolmon]

Store an icon called "favicon.ico" in every directory?

Or add a link rel for the favicon to every page and use just one favicon file.

He isn't - I am.
...and by the power entrusted to me by the people I hereby enlist Firefox as one of our kind.
After all he's red, wouldn't take money, and works for the betterment of the community.
...and his ideals are close to HLP's unique open Mod handlement, so we should by all means award him with our banner.
