View Full Version : Favicons
Can we have a favicon please! :thinkerg:
Martyn has just done one for BB.
I tried shrinking the BCUK logo down but I'm not sure if it works.:-|

It's an Icon thingy (http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5570)! :-)
Good idea. I've been meaning to suggest it for a while. I'll get on with that.
Always found them devilish hard to do effectively though as they're so small. :wink:

I don't think this is actually that badhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/sjlight/favicon.gif
but it's maybe a little difficult to tell what it is.

That's generally the problem! :wink: It's not bad though ...
Actually, trying it in place, I think it looks better than I thought it would..

How do you make them? I want some!
Erm, that pic was just me playing with Photoshop.:wink:
Tony or one of the moderators will have to add it to the site for it to work. Also, I'm using Mozilla - not sure if it works for other browsers.
It should work in most up-to-date browsers :wink:

Did this ever make it on to the to-do list? ;)

I suspect Tony will be waiting till he is using the latest forum software. I recently just found out about favicons and set if up on the SotP forum but can't get it to work on the main site :rolleyes:
Of course it would help is I knew what I was doing ;)
I'd forgotten all about this, I'll add it to the list for the updated site, thanks for the reminder ;)

I just chopped up the header img and created the attached png.
Save that and then upload it to http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/.
That will then create the favicon.ico I would have done that bit but cannot attach that type of file extension.
Once you have the favicon.ico just upload it to the website root http://www.bushcraftuk.com/ and that should do it.
you guys speak such lovely computer speak which leaves me none the wiser regards dave

Has this gone again?
www.bushcraftuk.com/favicon.ico seems to show the right thing
But i just get the standard vBulletin one.
Looking at the code of the page it looks like it needs the BCUK one dropping in to the http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/ folder.

Was just using google to search BCUK and it brought back some archive threads and they did use the correct favicon.
Is this still an issue? It displays fine on my browsers...

I'm not getting it on any of my browsers Tony :dunno:
That's Chrome, IE and Firefox just for the record
Weird as it comes up on all mine, same + safari, I'll look into it

Still an issue for me.
IE 8 on XP

Tested it on IE9 on Windows 7 and a funny thing happend. The nice bushrcaft favicon appeared when the page started to load and then it reverted back to the vbulletin one.
If you go to http://www.bushcraftuk.com/favicon.ico you get the nice one
If you got to http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/favicon.ico you get the vbulletin one.
So if you just replace the favicon in the forum folder with the bushcraft one from the WWWroot folder it should fix it all up :)
