Favicon?

[dhutch]

Any chance of applying a favicon to the site? Would make it much easier to navigate multiple tabs if we used one of our own design.

We did have one at one stage, (old forum, at least). But it was set up at a funny point in the web sites hierarchy, so it seemed to rarely come up properly.

It's there, just depends on browser and state of temp files I think.

Yes I see that, but that's not a wscc favicon, its an Invision IP.Board favicon, just like half the other forums in the work, including (oddly enough) the Invision community forums which I use a lot.

Having had a quick look backstage, and being a simpleton as you all already know, I can't find a way to change it from the existing favicon.  Sorry.

I take it it's in the route of the main site? (www.wscc.co.uk) as opposed to the forum (forum.wscc.co.uk)

Ah right, see what you mean now, so we just need to replace the IB Favicon.ico with the WSCC one (http://www.wscc.co.uk/favicon.ico) and there may be a backend script to force a replacement on your local cache ot just do a CTRL-F5.

Yep it http://www.wscc.co.uk/favicon.ico but there is no associated code on the web page to display it.

Doesnt matter what 'route in' you take, the website has a custom favicon but the forum does not.

 

 

Website favicon: http://www.wscc.co.uk/favicon.ico

Forum favicon  : http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/favicon.ico

You just need to overwrite the forum favicon with the custom one the website uses.

 

There is no way of rerouting the forum software to another favicon within the ACP, although I understand it can be done my editing one of the config files.

Daniel, you mistake me for someone with half a brain!  Adrian's the man for this one.

just seen this and resolved. For those that dont think so you will need to flush caches etc and probably restart browser and all that jazz.

Yep and it now works for me 

[ACW]

thanks for confirming.

Works for me.

- Had to clear cache and restart to get it to show in chrome, clearing the cache and hitting f5 only didnt reload it.

But thank you very much.

Interesting - I work on a fairly large screen for a home user (24") and the favicon appears a bit small...but it looks to me like a crocodile facing to the left with its mouth open ready to bite something.

24" is quite big (I have twin wide-format 22's at work, twin 19"s at home)

 

The wscc favicon is odd for a favicon in having quite a lot of white around the top, but having spend most of an evening making a favicon once I can assure you that getting anything worth looking at down to 16*16 is not easy!
