The problem is, as soon as you clear your browser history, they all disappear until you revisit that site again. Or is there a method to make them stick?

seriously, I have a website I created in my bedroom,and I have a favicon.

Hmmmm, just visited your site and didn't see any favicon other than IE...

It is useful. It is smart to have for consumers.

"Smart" in what way? Am I going to make any buying decisions on favicon v. no favicon? Nope.

Doesnt cakewalk realize how "cool" they are?

Ergo, one without a favicon isn't "cool"?

Not to hijack, but maybe you guys can help me with something-- my "favicons" only stick around for the first day or so after creating the favorite, then it goes back to the standard IE "E" logo. How can I force IE to display the favicons all the time?

I have the cakewalk Icon set in Firefox to take me directly to the forum site and log me in.

I edited the Firefox "cakewalk Home Page" tab by right clicking it and going down to properties. I then pasted the Sonar forums URL there Now everytime I click the Firefox Cakewalk Tab, I am taken to the Sonar forum and I'm logged in.

Peace

My vision is not that great, and favicons help me find things quickly in my too-populated Links bar. I still have the red meter thing favicon on my laptop, but I accidentally wiped out my favicons on my desktop and now I can't get it back.

I have Sonar forum stored in my favorites of course and I have always wondered why cake doesnt make a favicon for the site and forums.
You know, the logo thing that appears in your favorites/bookmarks.

Sup Cake? Why not? its easy!

Do you suppose they might have better things to do?

Is that why I have trouble making out your avatar?

Doesn't anybody read any more? An icon is fine but I like the reassurance of a name.

How about posting instructions on how to make a Favicon! If it's easy it shouldn't take up much room. I have a couple sites I'd love to have one on!

C'mon Lance! Give it up to the peeps!

top left in the menu. Just drop in a suitable .gif or .jpg, and upload it to the root (or the root of the html folder) of the server, and add the line

< link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" >

to the head section of your index.html (this should strictly speaking not be necessary, but does make it show up a *lot* faster - if you change it again, allow for up to a day for it to change - urgh, that's caching for ya)
