Favicon

It would be really cool if this website could have it's own Favicon. I am now visiting this site a lot and would like to have it on my favourites bar in IE but without a Favicon it would look dull. Be cool to have it show up in my favourites list too.

I'll bet I'm not the only one wondering, but what on earth is a Favicon???

The little pictures on your interweb favourites is what I thought, but the NGF has one. NGF on a green background.

Yeah, that's right. That's great but very sad that it, for some reason, does not come up on my computer :'(

Are you running Windows XP? I downloaded Microsoft Powertoys which has a repair icon function.

Mine just has the standard Internet Explorer e logo thingy.

Red NGF on a white background, works fine on XP & 7 running Firefox, might be a cookie thing, try resetting them

I'm on Win 7 also. Will have a look when I'm home and let you know.

The NGF logo appears perfectly on my Favourites bar in Chrome on Windows 7.

I've tried to create a Favicon for the ERG website but could never get it to work :'(

RichardBattersby · October 03, 2011, 08:46:45 PM

No joy. Cleaned cookies. Many oter sites including my own all have working favicons but no this one for some reason.

Can't think what else to try.

Maybe it is just an IE thing, no doubt Tank will pick up on this when he returns from his hols.

RichardBattersby · October 03, 2011, 11:04:07 PM

Yeah, maybe. Cool, has he gone anywhere nice?

Hello all!

I went to Stratford-Upon-Avon. Had a great time! I'm not one for hot countries.

The Favicon should be white with a red NGF on it. The green one is the old one from months ago.

I must admit, I have used Firefox for years, and the Favicon has appeared with no problems. A month ago I had to revert to IE and the Favicon doesn't show. I'll try and work out why in the next week.

Thanks!
