Do you mean like an address bar icon, that accompanies your bookmarks? One site that instantly comnes to mind that has what I mean is Google -- let me know and we' ll look into getting one done.

I think he means a " favicon" . It is a special li' l graphic that goes into your main directory (the same place as the index.aspx). It must be saved in a special format. If you want you can create a " K" graphic or whatnot and size it to 16x16 and save it in .ico format. If you can' t do it, then e-mail me a bitmap version of the graphic and I will convert it for you. Or I can create the whole thing for you. Yes, for free. There are places that actually charge to create favicon.ico' s for you, which seems ridiculous to me.

Well we' ve done it now, but only on the Kikizo homepage. (Check it out!)

Unfortunately it doesn' t seem to want to work on the Forums, because of an issue with Cookies. If you bookmark forums.kikizo.com it will probably work, but when you usually arrive at the forum, the URL immeidately changes to include a cookie reference, meaning IE doesn' t recognise the tag for some reason. Default.asp, tt.asp and tm.asp (the forum homepage, forum thread list and discussion pages respectively) all have the relevant code that tells it to look for the favico.ico thing in the forums route (which you can verify is there) but won' t display it in the address bar. Hmmm...

It' s working for me. But Firefox doesn' t show any favicons on the bookmark list. That' s probably because I' m using a special G4-optimized Mac version. The favicons show up when I select " Manage Bookmarks" and a new window opens, though.

See?


Is the Windows version of Firefox the same? I am too lazy to check.
