Favicons

[Stew]

Can we have a favicon please! :thinkerg:
Martyn has just done one for BB.


I tried shrinking the BCUK logo down but I'm not sure if it works.:-|

a what?

 

[Stew]

It's an Icon thingy!

Good idea. I've been meaning to suggest it for a while. I'll get on with that.

Always found them devilish hard to do effectively though as they're so small.

I don't think this is actually that bad

but it's maybe a little difficult to tell what it is.

That's generally the problem! It's not bad though ...

 

[Stew]

Actually, trying it in place, I think it looks better than I thought it would..

 

[ScottC]

How do you make them? I want some!

 

[Stew]

Erm, that pic was just me playing with Photoshop.
Tony or one of the moderators will have to add it to the site for it to work. Also, I'm using Mozilla - not sure if it works for other browsers.

 

[Tony]

It should work in most up-to-date browsers

 

[Justin Time]

Did this ever make it on to the to-do list?

 

[MagiKelly]

I suspect Tony will be waiting till he is using the latest forum software. I recently just found out about favicons and set if up on the SotP forum but can't get it to work on the main site

Of course it would help is I knew what I was doing

 

[Tony]

I'd forgotten all about this, I'll add it to the list for the updated site, thanks for the reminder

 

[resnikov]

I know its an old thread but any chance of the favicon ?

 

[Tony]

we did have one, then we didn't then we did and now we don't I'll have a look at it.

 

[resnikov]

I just chopped up the header img and created the attached png.
Save that and then upload it to http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/.

That will then create the favicon.ico I would have done that bit but cannot attach that type of file extension.

Once you have the favicon.ico just upload it to the website root http://www.bushcraftuk.com/ and that should do it.

We all have our special skills in life, mines computers. When I go to a garage I dont have a clue what they say.

I like the favicon generator. Will try it in furture rather than messing by hand
