Since I found IE renders these forums better (regarding login time), I've been using it. I've also noticed that when I favorited this form, and other sites, It has a cool icon next to it...

:roll: How do you make it do that? :???: PHP or something? ^_^ I know the scroll-bars are PHP
------
Put an .ico file in the public root of your server, named favicon.ico. With public root I mean, if your webpage is at www.blabla.com/thepage/index.html , the favicon should be located as www.blabla.com/favicon.ico. The browser automagically looks for that file.

Might be that it works within subfolders, but I remember something about it not... who knows.

Oh, and the scrollbars are not php Wink They are css.

And in case you didnt notice firefox and most other browsers use those nifty icons too Tongue
^_^ Right,. lol,.. yeah, but I don't have FF,.. was AOL b4, but they put a lil heart icon next to all the favs..

css? oh.. :roll: :lol:

I'll give it a shot, if it doesn't work in the root folder, I'll put it in the folder with my site.. :wink:
This is interesting... I was meaning to do this for a while, but I'm lazy/busy.

I put a standard 16x16 256-color Windows .ico file in the root of my website named favicon.ico; it shows up in the address bar of firefox when I navigate to the index page, but not in the tab, and if i switch tabs and come back, the icon in the address bar is gone... do I need to do something special?

EDIT: Never mind, it's working - just had to restart my browser. Smile
