Another Ignore thread

I guess everyone but me does see a favicon for BLF, so ignore this thread! Must be my work and home computers just don’t like BLF~

Favicons, you know, those small icons that show next to your bookmarked favorites. Like the little “peace sign” that Craigslist uses. Even CPF has one, a small lightbulb. Just click on your Favorites list, and you will see the favicons that your favorite sites use.

They are easy to make, in fact there are several favicon generators online that you can use.
This is what my icon looks like in 16 x 16 pixels


Too small to be useful as a favicon, but you get the idea…

I know we have some very creative folks here in terms of graphic design, so let’s see what you can cram into a
16 x 16 pixel icon that says “this is BLF” !

You mean a new BLF favicon? The current BLF favicon is a beam of light pointed at you. Minimalist design. I think there is a similar thread already, where some designs have a thin man holding a thin light, with the letters blf in it.

We have one:

Does it show in your Favorites List or in the address bar when you load a page?
It does not appear on any of my computers, I just get the little Internet Explorer “e” thingy.

I’ve never gotten a Favicon with BLF, and that one in the post above is too big to be a favicon

Yes it does. Fav list, notes list in Opera and address bar in FF.

It shows up for me as well.

Does it show up for anyone who uses IE or Firefox?
Those are the two browsers I use and I have never seen it.

Firefox here, shows up perfectly all the time.

Interesting, wonder why mine never shows.

OK, IGNORE THIS THREAD AND LET IT DIE

Just messing around in Paint I came up with this just now. Easy to read, too.

Hmmm…anyone know if it’s possible to set your own favicon in your browser for a particular site?

If you're using chrome.

I can’t see it either. (Internet Explorer).

OH, ignore what?
Never mind.

The current favicon shows up in Safari on my Mac as well.

Oh you silly boy :shy:

Troop, what happens if you click this link?

I just checked in IE8, it doesn't display the favicon. Fine in my current Firefox though.

I guess it's because it's a .jpg file. I was under the impression you always had to use .ico for favicons.

Well, what do you expect from internet explorer? :P

Darn - thought this was going to be a new Deleted thread!!
