hey i'm not sure what its called, but the little icon thing in the address bar is pretty sweet.
good job schorcho

It's called a "Favicon".

Thank you. I just got tired of the default phpBB icon.

[SuperJon]

Probably not hard to do that is it?

[El Scorcho]

Nope. Make a 16 pixel by 16 pixel image in Photoshop. Save it as a 16-color gif file and rename it "favicon.ico". Upload it to your webserver, and then add this information into the HEAD section of your HTML page:

Code: Select all

<link rel="icon" href="path/to/file/favicon.ico" />

That works.

If you previously created a bookmark for the site in Firefox, the icon is cached. It's a pain in the rear to get Firefox to uncache it. (It involves manually editing a preference file.) I don't know why it's like that.

IE, on the other hand, doesn't show the icon at all until you bookmark it.

Safari handles business properly.
