I demand a favicon!
« on: November 28, 2012, 12:12:03 PM »
Grogheads looks decidedly plain in my bookmarks folder, alongside all the other websites with their shining little favicons.  I demand that you make one!  Immediately, if not sooner!

If you'll observe the sticky just above this thread you'll find that I have posted my own collection of them on Photobucket for your copy & pasting pleasure. ;)

We'll eventually do that, but we're working on the technical aspects of having a dev box for the forums - you know, just so we don't break anything on the live site.

Strike that. I see. You mean a web icon or whatever.

OK, I'll send fluffy over to administer more beatings to the code monkey.

That sounds kinky... just saying

Yes.  There must be spankings until satisfaction is achieved.  My thanks to you, sir.

Just so you don't think we're complete plonkers.  I worked on this over the weekend and they all looked like crap.

I'll continue to tweak until we get something that doesn't look like crap.

I had a crack at it.  Can't attach .ico files here - can I email it somewhere?

So, you've got time to make a spinny avatar thing but no time for a favicon huh?  I see!

stole the avatar from somewhere else

The problem with the favicon is that it's not loading properly into the site header and keeps throwing up snippets of HTML at the top of the page.  It does this no matter what favicon I use.  Methinks it's a troubleshooting problem for people that actually know what they're doing.

Thanks Huw!

I take the 1 000 000 monkeys approach to avatars, I switch avatars up almost as often as Star switches hands.
