Why no forum icon?

[Carson Dyle]

I often have several tabs open browsing a number of different forums that run vBulletin 3, with many of them still using the default icon, so there's no way to easily identify them in the tabs. Makes no sense.

Just copy favicon.ico from the root folder of www.anandtech.com to the root folder of the AnandTech forums site.

I am going to bump this as well, great idea Carson Dyle.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Why is this so difficult??

 

[taq8ojh]

Oh I'd like that!

 

[allisolm]

I have no idea how difficult this would or would not be, but it isn't anything the moderation team has anything to do with.

 

[Carson Dyle]

I thought this forum was about Technical issues, not Moderation issues.

Does the moderation team not know who could accomplish this? (Has this become General Motors, all of a sudden? How many levels of bureaucracy are there at AnandTech?)

 

[allisolm]

We can only pass the idea along, not act on it.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Please. Do. Hasn't happened over the past 11 months since the suggestion was originally made.

This isn't a big issue, obviously. But it's a head-scratcher, for sure.

I would guess then that it is something they aren't concerned enough about to change .

Please. Do.

Lol still a generic vBulletin favicon after all these years? Just run the AnandTech logo through a simple favicon generator and be done with it already.

 

[allisolm]

Passed the request on again.

 

[Ryan Smith]

On it.

 

[jpishgar]

Boom, done.

Is the favicon gone now? It looks the same as before.

 

[allisolm]

Sent a note to jpishgar about the icon gone walkabout.

I always have favicons disabled because most of them trigger my firewall.. It says "SUSPICIOUS SIZE" I know I can add an exception but I dont wanna bother....


Its VERY INTERESTING.. IE6 also reads these favicons!! (On IE6 I cannot disable the showing of them but on MyIE2 I can thankfully or I would have to definetly add an exception no doubt)

I'm having Ops check on this and fix it.

 

[PurchDave]

This is done, enjoy!

Gone again.
