Excuse me,

Does sciforums have a favIcon? Just wandering, i'm using Safari and sometimes it doesn't notice them. All my forums have a favicon except this one and I could add one (like the peace sign).

Thanks,
gMac
 
...no. More and more websites are getting them, PC and Mac doesn't matter. I'll post a screenshot in a sec.
 
Yes, I am on a Mac. Does it Matter? Don't think so... I'm pretty sure IE for Windows supports FavIcon viewing and always has been for awhile...

The thing in the yellowed circle is the favicon. Below that pic is what it might look like w/o the yellow circle. It just makes it look good in your bookmarks menu. It's the small things that count ;)
 
damn..i downloaded the trial version and did what they said...but the favicon doesn't show on my webpage...

grrrr...

edit: oh..

apparently you have to do this:

Internet Explorer submit question Why can’t I see my favicon in the address/location bar? What if I want different icons for different pages? Where will my logo be seen? I used to see favicons, but now they've all disappeared. What happened? I have a favicon.ico file, but I don't see it in my favorites folder when I bookmark or rebookmark my site. What's wrong? Why can’t I see my favicon in the address/location bar? In Internet Explorer, click the icon in the address bar. Hold down the button and move the icon a tiny bit to the right and let go. Try this two or three times. Usually that is all you need to do! suggestion/comment back to Top

For sciforums.com? Nope, doesn't appear. And I deleted my cookies and everything. Anyone else see it?
 
Here is an other solution (no software needed...) but I didn't tried it.
Code: 
 < link rel="shortcut icon" href="name_of_your_icon.ico" >
You icon needs to be a .ICO one (16*16 or 32*32) but a .BMP can works sometimes. Anyway try to find an interesting name : favicon.ico is always used and it disturbs IE.

If you want a tool for your icon : The IconFactory

Edit : I had a problem with the code so I added a space after "<" and an other one before ">".
 
< link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http//www.spuriousmonkey.com/monkeyicon.ico" >

(without the spaces)

edit: i now changed it back to favicon and it works again for Opera...
