Favicon.ico

I was going to mention this yesterday. About 2 years back they switched the FT favicon to the AT one on these boards, they have to do it again now.
 
I started a thread about this same topic in Personal Forum Issues and got referred here. Anyways, I thought it looked either like the state of Maine, or a sitting bear viewed from the back. Someone else posted that they thought it looked like a penis 😕 .
 
For some reason my bookmarks bar is not using the icon... Is there a specific place I should be linking to? It looks all ugly being the only thing on there without a favicon
 
I though I had lost my mind 😕 which on most days is a short trip!! :laugh: I was glad to see it is not just me seeing the little yellow ah heck. I sure hope the "A" returns soon.

Oh the trauma this favicon has caused me... a year or two ago I posted about it here, it eventually got changed to the "A" favicon, and I was happy. I could surf the site without someone looking over my shoulder thinking I was shopping for dildos. Then it was the dildo again, shortly after the recent forum changes, and again I had to surf ATOT in shame. A month or two ago, it was again changed to the A, and life was good. Now it's back to the dildo... /wrists
 
Using Firefox (on Mac OS X), I've installed the "Smart Bookmarks Bar" so that it actually SHOWS the Favicon in your toolbar. The extension lets you hide the text and just show the icon, so you don't have to delete all the names from the "Properties" menu.... but for the AT Forums, I'm not getting a favicon at all??? I see the orange "penis" in the tabs, but it REFUSES to show up in my bookmarks bar.

So, instead of just showing the text in your toolbar, Mac Firefox shows a default "globe" favicon when a site doesn't have one, which is even more annoying. Whyyyy would Mac Firefox have default favicons?? Windows FF doesn't.

So... ON TOP OF THIS... instead of showing " ['Penis' favicon] AT" in my bookmarks bar, it for some reason shows the default "globe" icon, even though I've hidden the default favicons with a userChrome.css tweak:

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image=""]:not([container="true"]) {
list-style-type: none !important;
list-style-image: none !important;
-moz-image-region: auto !important;

}

#bookmarks-ptf toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image=""]:not([container="true"]) .toolbarbutton-icon {
width: 4px !important;
height: 0px !important;
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0px !important;
}

So, in layman's terms, FF KNOWS there is a favicon there, even though it's the Fusetalk one... but it's only showing the default icon. I'd be fine if it just said "AT" but the (wrong) favicon shows up and takes up unnecessary space and looks something like this: (O) AT

OH, and the kicker is that when I start up FF for the first time, it just says "AT" LIKE IT SHOULD, but the second I use it, that damn (O) <-- globe icon shows up. 🙁

Grr on your forums!! lol. And I *do* have other sites w/out favicons in my bookmarks bar... and ONLY the text shows up, like it should. No damn default favicon.

How easy is the favicon to change?!?! The Admin. housekeeping around here is lacking.
