Guys, this forum is really missing a thing.. the mighty favicon :P
What about adding it ?

Heh, never thought of that one. But I'll put it on my list together with the remaining icons and pgdev banners.

Yeah..
I'd like that too. PGD is almost the only bookmark on my personal bar in Opera without a favicon.

I have nothing against this idea... most being as I do not have a clue as to what this is? :|


...Hmm thinks....

1 min later... ah! Do you mean those icons in the left side in the address bar?

That's them. I believe all you need to do is put a file called favicon.ico at the root directory of the website. It is generally a 16x16 256-colour icon with an optional 32x32 icon. I have created a small one based on the green logo at the top of this page.

Someone else could probably do better. :)

Hey, not too bad. :) A little hard to make out the PGD though...

The logo is not too clear at full-size (not much contrast in the all the green), but when reduced to 16x16 with each letter an average of 5 pixels wide, they get a bit smudged. :)

umm i can't read it very well :P
What about something else on the favicon? something like a sprite or similar?

I'll add it to Traveler's list. ;)

But, it's ok for now I guess. Mind you it doesn't work for IE ( go figure :roll: ) I think I'm missing a meta tag on the header.

Maybe you need this?
