Erm. As far as I know, it's enough to upload a single favicon.ico file to root of the home dir. Works from there to any subdirs. Not even seperate reference to favicon.ico is required. Could be prevented server-side though.

Good god people, favicons have been around ever since IE5. Their implementation is not a subject of mystery or debate.
ZylonBane's opinions do not represent those of the management.

Having an HLP favicon for HLP won't (currently) work because we don't have access to the root of the server.

However, there is a method that's not as widely supported using HTML meta tags or something - I'm not familiar with it, though.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

As a note to Flaser, you're not the official board Communist. That would be Comrade Shrike, if I remember correctly.

Took the words right out my mouth. :p

As for the icon, I've actually wondered about that myself. When I bookmarked HLP, for some weird reason it got the MSN butterfly icon. :confused:

I wouldn't mind seeing the little red spinny thing up there. But its hardly a critical issue. Still... :)

Neither is Raa.

Beside being the "official" or not, the thing runs in my blood. :p

Root of the server is not needed, I think you should have access to ".../freespace" folder. "hlp" and "forums" are subfolders under "freespace" so it should show up.

Setekh's favicon works for me. Remember, that if your browser has cached the old icon, it may not display the new one and loading the old icon from cache instead.

I remember when favicons were the Next Big Thing.
