On a somewhat related topic, Robby, you are my hero.

If it's the same shade of blue-grey as the site it's difficult to pick up against a white background at 16x16. It ends up looking ghostly.

What about the same shade as the blue on the Quick Reply box?

I like the design compass as-is, if only because I don't want to edit it and don't think I'd be able to do any better. I'm not a graphic designer, I just got tired of having no favicon.

My browser (Opera) registers TGD as having a blank favicon. Weird.

My link to the index shows up blank, whereas another link actually has one.
At the bottom.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Same here with Chrome. Doesn't even show up next to any of the tabs.

no fave icon here either, but the page is correct.

Code: Select all

    <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

maybe the icon is just not in the proper main images folder.
I think i see Subsilver as the default on this version of phpBB, so any other styles would require the fave icon to also be placed there as well...
"Style_folder"/images/faveicon.ico
since everything else is working right now, i think i will not be bothered by a missing 1k graphic myself...

Maybe I've forgotten everything about urls, but if the code for the icon is

Code: Select all

    <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

then isn't that http://tgdmb.com/images/favicon.ico, which is a 1x1 white gif. No wonder it's blank if there is no actual icon there.

I've not installed a favicon yet. The one in Maxus's image is the default for the host company, I believe. I've seen it on some other sites as well.

The other day and in the past i was getting a 404 not found when trying to locate the fave icon. this means none existed, and all browsers then used the default for no icon. now it seems during the fix of the forums the placeholder file was put there which means a blank 1x1 images just to tell admins where to find and place their own icon.
so this means a file CAN be found by the browser and it is using that.
so it is blank because there is an icon there now, while before the server move there was no file so your browser went to default icon.

Well, just because it's been sitting around, I changed the compass image into a gif that's more of a TGD blue.
So if people like that one...
