Wondering why you have no favicon on the site?

No need to make one you already have it!

Just use the same png as the hallsofvallhalla avatar.

Place the following line in the <head> tag of your index.php (replace URL_TO_PNG with path to the png)

Code: Select all

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="URL_TO_PNG">

Very true! I didn't think it would work at such a small size, but it actually looks pretty nice. I made a multi-res (64, 32, 16) .ico that can be found here. Hopefully Halls will see this and perhaps use it! I don't have access to change it.

EDIT: Crap! That was the PNG I accidentally uploaded. 1 sec...

OK, here is the multi-res .ico file :cool:

I think if you use a png it will scale to whatever the browser wants.

But that may just be Firefox...

I know older versions of IE won't. In fact, older IEs before IE 10 won't accept PNG favicons at all :o

MediaFire pumps the ads, but they are not typically too shady. I just wanted somewhere to throw it up to quickly.

Now that I think about it, I just should have uploaded it to the Resource section here :P

While you are updating the site would be great if you put a favicon in place
