favicon
Could this board get a favicon (that little logo that shows up in the web-browser)? This link doesn't have a favicon (just default page icon) and it sort of throws off my bookmark bar (1st world problem, I know).
Maybe it's asking too much, but just putting it out there.

Re: favicon
here you go, just change the extension to a .ico file and put in the root folder of the forum.

Re: favicon
Here's a less silly logo.
Re: favicon
how odd...I read your first post and made one but I must of done something wrong and it doesn't work. I did an image search for Etty and chose the same one you did:
I will work on it more tomorrow when I have more time.

Re: favicon
NICE!
Here's another I did (addicted to making these now).

Re: favicon
I guess it is working now after closing and reopening the browser.
Re: favicon
if a majority decide on a certain one I will make it that one.
Re: favicon
I was wondering what that little pic was. I didn't know it had a name.
I like it. Good idea, Intertwoven!

Re: favicon
Here's the ANR logo shrunken down to favicon size.
Re: favicon
My votes for the anr one...clean, no ettty face (which just makes us look like trolls)..why show our hand on someones first visit here?
Re: favicon
It was updated to the ANR last night but you have to wait for it to update unless you clear your cache.
This is only for the default profile. If you use one of the others I'm not going to change all of them.

Re: favicon
You don't have to clear your cache. You can "hard-refresh" using SHIFT+F5. Also, favicons have nothing to do with phpBB. It's updated site-wide.
Re: favicon
why did I have to edit some phpbb stuff and place it in the profile folder??

Re: favicon
Thanks, creep!
Re: favicon
Ah, because phpBB wants to do it for you. phpBB predates modern CMS (content management systems, like Wordpress), but they've been sort of turning into a stripped down version of one, where the CMS controls all the stuff that you used to have to do directly.creep wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:49 pmwhy did I have to edit some phpbb stuff and place it in the profile folder??

If you have direct access to your server's www/public_html folder, the current favicon is always located there: http://aintnoright.org/favicon.ico
You can just change that file directly, and since it always has the name "favicon.ico", phpBB won't know the difference.
The <link> code you had to add should be standard HTML boilerplate in the first place. I'd guess they get you to update it just in case you put the favicon in a different folder than the one it defaults to (but honestly, that's badly programmed -- you shouldn't have to edit anything). It looks like because you only add it to the header for one style at a time, you'd have to add it for all of them. But, I can confirm that I can see the right favicon using all of board styles, so the other styles must have that link code already.
Never mind... you don't even need the <link> code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/664 ... age-x-icon
