Title: forum favicon
Post by: deflective on September 11, 2009, 11:25:17 PM: i'd like to request a favicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon) for the forums.

maybe ep's favicon or something new that covers escape artists in general (eg: (http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/deflective/ea.png) ).

Here's a Favicon (http://gtf.org/pynk/share/EAFavicon.ico) that I need to figure out how to embed in the site, and here's the logo (http://gtf.org/pynk/share/EALogo_78x78.jpg) of which it is a detail. (Logo was designed by Jonathan Chaffin (http://jonathanchaffin.com) who also did pseudopod.org.)

(It's actually not -- it's got a transparent background, with only the radio and not the tiny flying saucer -- to make better use of the 16x16 pixels).

(I'm assuming this is deliberate)

Glad to heat its in the works.

have you looked into this any further? if you drop a copy if the icon named 'favicon.png' into your web's root directory it should work from there.
