Favicons

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

What are favicons?

...They are those little images you see up top next to the URL's.

(Example: on here you will see a little Off Topix next to [noparse]http://offtopix.com/showthread.php[/noparse]......)



Do you use one on your forum(s)?

Do you ever notice them on the forums / websites you go on?

 

[Madyy]

I have used them before...and I do notice them...they show up on my bookmarks bar.

 

[Medora]

Do you use one on your forum(s)?

Yeah; it's a little black symbol that looks like a power button.

Do you ever notice them on the forums / websites you go on?

Yeah. I usually have a lot of tabs open, so as I'm scanning them I notice the favicons.

 

[The Dragon Master]

I've only just noticed XD They're cool though!

 

[Howard]

Yes I use a favicon on my site and yes I do notice them on other sites.

 

[Jazzy]

I have noticed them on other sites as well as here.

 

[Raven]

Yep mine are devil horns m/ Heavy metal's symbol!

 

[IcarusForde]

Yep, if a site doesn't have one, I'm probably not going to stay around long.



And yeah, I have one on my sites.

 

[Evil Eye]

I like 'em, makes it easier to distinguish between sites when I have a lot of tabs open.

And yes, I do use one.

If thats all it takes for you to leave a place, then you are one picky fella.

 

[netsavy006]

I don't use one on my forum.

That's not all, but it's a contributing factor.

 

[beowulf]

yeah...........makes it easier to find sites in my bookmarks

 

[Flurry]

So are these beneficial to websites and forums?

 

[Blake]

So are these beneficial to websites and forums?

I guess, it makes it easier to find the site in bookmarks and such.



OP-Ive noticed, i use them and i like them.

 

[Nitro]

I use one on my forum, though for perhaps the first few months I didn't use one since I didn't really know much about them. I've always noticed them before though.

 

[Sinon]

I notice them if they're interesting. But a lot of sites I use have black ones, and my Firefox skin is black with electric-blue sides to it, so they're not noticable.

 

[oscarg]

I think they're important for a forum. It gives the forum more personality plus helps when bookmarking the site.

 

[Serenade]

I have used favicon's in the past and the present.

Helps when you have 30 tabs open (guilty).

 

[netsavy006]

I know before I posted that I don't use a favicon but how do I get one and how do I install it for both the blog and forum?
