FavIcon fix

[ From www.pcmag.com ] Preserving Fancy Favorites Icons Sometimes, when you save a site using Internet Explorer's Add to Favorites, you get a fancy icon with the link. After a while, however, the icon disappears. How can I make the icons stay? Norman D via the Internet A site can provide a fancy Favorites icon by placing a file named Fav-icon.ico in its root folder. Clearing your temporary Internet files will wipe out these icons; that's probably what happened to you. To make an icon permanent, first download a local copy of the icon (for example, www.zdnet.com/favicon.ico). In Internet Explorer, click Favorites, locate the item and right-click it. Choose Properties from the pop-up menu, and click the Web document tab. Click Change icon.... Select your local copy of the icon. Now this favorite will never lose its icon. Note that FavOrg, a recent PC Magazine utility, will render these favicons permanent and update any broken links in your Favorites list.

- You can either place a copy of your icon in the root directory of your site (where your pages most likely reside) this being by far the easiest and preferred option.
- If you have a large site with pages in multiple directories you can place a copy of your icon in each directory.
- Or you can alternatively place a single copy of your Favicon anywhere you wish and include a LINK TAG within your HTML pages to point to it.
The tag should look like this: <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/your/path/favicon.ico"> and should be placed in the 'HEAD' section of all your pages. With this method you do not have to call your icon 'favicon' but it's generally simpler. Don't forget to change the path name to where your icon resides. BE WARNED - I do not recommend the LINK TAG option as it causes far more problems than the other method. Personally I would recommend that you place a copy of your icon in each directory that you have pages in and also in your root directory i.e. where your default page resides. This is because Explorer will first look for a favicon in the current directory of the page a visitor is bookmarking. If it does not find one Explorer will then look in the root directory. If you store your pages in multiple directories you will get two bites of the cherry in case, for some reason, your first icon is not picked up. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

You should be able to do it just by adding the favicon.ico file to your web's root (and use optional tags) The problem is that IE6 forgets to keep the icon associated with a site. Surely it's not that hard to have IE check the site once a session to look for the favicon.ico file automatically. cheers, Chris Maunder

Yes! I downloaded http://www.codeproject.com/favicon.ico and set my CP link icon to this [which I saved locally] Finally I got Bob back! Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Making, well actually copying old viewgraphs, while enjoying some fresh donuts... lauren's pic for an upload is gorgeous - I wish I was twenty years younger... I'm middle-aged finally, but not so old that I can't appreciate a beautiful young woman with an excellent mind. Check her pic, Nish, but please don't hound her for a date... Bravo, young lady, keep on being smart and beautiful! Is your mom single?

Well, there are some issue to be considered here. First I never said anything insulting about Lauren or her pic. All I said was that the pic was too far-off-like to actually determine who or what she is. I was responding to a comment from someone [I think it was Roger] who said she looked so gorgeous or something similar. For all I know Lauren might be a super-model. And I don;t really give a damn about a person's looks. Appreciation of looks differ from country to country and from culture to culture. In India skin color is considered a big part of beauty. The fairer the women are, the more likely that someone will be interested in them. And I believe beauty is more than an outter thing. Once you start loving someone, you believe that she is beautiful, outward and inward. And again as for Lauren, I had no intentions of being impolite to her or hurt her. And I also find it curious tha all this while we were slam-bamming each other and nobody minds, but the moment a comment is made in connection to a woman, a lot of people [actually only two - you and Chris] say that manners are missing. I seriously believe my sentence was distorted and attributed meanings and thoughts which I didn't dream of, when I posted that post. Regards Nish p.s. Her web site is down!

Paul, I thinik you arr jumpin to conclusions, Nish was merly pointing out that it was not a suitable pic to show what Lauren was indeed like. Comeing from such a multicutural environment as you do, I'm sure you undestand that beauty is subjective to your cultural bounds. Nish just wants to see Pics of people, which is pretty understanding really, I really feel Paul you have taken Nishes comment out of context, And deserve to send himan apology. I know if I had made such a big mistake as this I would be Big enough to apologise. Regardz Colin J Davies

I agree her pic is hot a typical passport Bio shot , but it is a backgroud blending with a portait. Nice Camera shot with the right lighting and agood use of colors. But it rally doesnt portay Lauren. What it portays is an artistic shot that Laurn is in, and she is bot even the focal point, So it most certainly isn't a Pic of Lauren. Regardz Colin J Davies

Hey Nish, You wrote another post about having a gender field in the profiles so that readers could choose whether to scan through and look at only guys or only girls. I took your comment about Lauren's pic not being good enough in that context, and while both posts may have been light hearted, for me they started to get a little beyond polite. It's sometimes the hardest thing in the world to work out what someone is actually meaning to say when they type a comment, and it equally just as easy to type something that means one thing to you and something completely different to another person. I think the coolest thing about this all are the tiny little clashes that occur when cultures and values and accepted turns of phrases collide. How often do you get the chance to sit down and talk through a fine point of etiquette (or merely semantics) with someone who lives 15,000 miles away in a completely different world. cheers, Chris Maunder

I think we are ALL jumping to conclusions here :) I merely was aghast at what Nish said. It had about as much tact as a sledge hammer. Yes I have double standards when it comes to woman and men. If a guy disses another guys looks then I don't really mind, they can deal with it. But if a guy disses a womans looks, especially on a forum were we hardly know each other, then I feel no matter the cultural background that he should get some manners. I know Nish did not directly insult Lauren, but it came out very wrong. Assumptions aside what he said could be taken badly and he should realise that. He should use some tact, coupled with some of his usually very good manners. I am sorry you all took it the wrong way and this has nothing to do with cultural beauty standards. We are a world wide community here so act like you are in one. Colin Davies wrote: I know if I had made such a big mistake as this I would be Big enough to apologise. I am not some kid and you cannot bait me like that. Being wordly wise like you are I would think you would realise that (some more bait... ;) ). bottom line? We all need to take a breather here. Nish posted something which could easily be taken the wrong way. I was pretty sure that he did not intend what he implied BUT even so he should have realised that and modified the way he said what he meant. So all I said was that he should get some manners in that regard. Nothing to do with culture at all. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

Nish can we just drop this whole issue? It is not worth arguing over. None of us need to say sorry because it was just a misunderstanding. I thought you were in a round a bout manner insulting Lauren (I get protective of woman, even tough "I can handle myself" woman, call it a character flaw) and thought you needed to get some manners. You did not mean it, but the wording of your post implied it to me. Mainly I was just aghast because normally you are very mindful of your manners. Big misunderstanding, on my side no harm done, I hope so on your side too. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?
