Author Topic: Film-Tech browser icon Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-27-2004 11:20 AM                     I just noticed my IE address bar now displays a little "F-T" icon rather than the generic Microsoft one. Did this just happen, or have I been oblivious?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper! Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-27-2004 11:31 AM                     Mine used to have the FT, and it was also on my favorites. But it is gone from both now.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-27-2004 12:33 PM                        It's called a "favicon" and I put it there at least 4 months ago, if not more. I made it a bit big, and I may make a new one that is the exact Favicon size (teeny tiny). I have noticed that on the Avant browser it will come and go. But Avant is a skin for IE, so I don't know if that is an IE problem or not. It should always show up in the address bar, but getting it on your bookmarks (or favorites) drop down menu is tricky at best. Only Avant even tries to do that, and no Mac browser has that capability yet (that I know of).  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-27-2004 01:46 PM                     Joe, "Safari" supports favicons. The F-T favicon doesn't really work all the time on it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-27-2004 02:40 PM                        I look at FT on 3 different computers -- one using IE6, and the other two are still on IE5 because I'm too tired to download the update. The FT logo only works on one of the IE5 machines. Don't know why, but don't care either. As long as I can read the latest posts from KD, I'm satisfied.  |  IP: Logged Dan Chilton Expert Film Handler Posts: 191 From: Springfield, MO Registered: Mar 2004 posted 05-27-2004 04:17 PM                        Joe, is your favicon compiled with the 16x16 and the 32x32 icon? I know that IE has had a bug for many years wherein a favicon won't showup unless it's already been added to your favorites (bookmarks).  |  IP: Logged Joshua Lott Expert Film Handler Posts: 246 From: Fairbanks, AK, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-27-2004 05:16 PM                        I am using IE 6 and it doesn't show up. Tried by adding to favorites and that didn't do it either.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-27-2004 06:44 PM                     I put in my favorite (IE6) and it showed up when I returned to the site. I removed the link from favorites and it stayed.  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-27-2004 06:54 PM                     "Favicon" support in Mozilla Firefox 0.8 for Mac OS X, which I use most often, is intermittent and inconsistent. A few icons for sites in my Personal Toolbar stay put, like the "F-T", for example. Some icons will show up in the URL field and tabs, but don't show up in Personal Toolbar links. The strangest behavior I've found is with eBay's icon...I have a list of searches at my disposal in the Sidebar; sometimes the icon "sticks" to a particular search link, sometimes the icon doesn't, but frequently the icon will appear after a link is clicked, then disappear when the browser is relaunched. Strange.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-27-2004 09:21 PM                     Favicons come and go with IE. I don't know why, but Joe needs to get Microsoft to fix that.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
