SMF needs a Favourites icon

SMF needs a Favourites Icon.
Especially if you surf with browsers like MYIE2 which are able to show the favicon of each site in the browser tabs.

Spaceman-Spiff · August 17, 2003, 02:22:46 PM

uh... it already has one: http://www.simplemachines.org/favicon.ico

IE does this too btw...

klumy · August 17, 2003, 02:28:54 PM

I know.
MYIE2 is based on IE. So both will show the favicon.

But I like surfing with MYIE2 more than with the IE.

Not nessescarily, could have been a MyIE2 feature

klumy · August 17, 2003, 02:32:52 PM

I think this is a dtandard feature of many browsers. Opera also supports showing favicons in the tab

Seph|roth · August 17, 2003, 02:35:55 PM

You're right, I know.

I just wanted to say that your statement...

QuoteMYIE2 is based on IE. So both will show the favicon.

...doesn't have to be true.

it's been there since beginning of august
unless if there's something wrong with the browser...

also see the code in the html source

klumy · August 17, 2003, 02:43:28 PM

ah right, now I see it.

Seems so that I have to flush my internet cache

Seph|roth · August 17, 2003, 03:05:21 PM

strange... all of a sudden no single favicon works anymore for me...

Happens all the time! may be it is cache problem or upgrade or it is just IE do not like it anymore $:-\$
with Opera (so far) it did not loose any icons!

Atleast firebird doesn't crash al the time... ie6 on win2000...ughhh

Seph|roth · August 17, 2003, 04:27:05 PM

i know... IE sucks big time, but at the moment Firebird is even worse, really.. i'm sure that when it's out of beta it'll be mucho better than IE though.

Cant wait for it to be released

Seph|roth · August 17, 2003, 04:51:39 PM

well, don't [edit]expect[/edit] the 1.0 release to be anywhere soon, Firebird 0.7's estimated release is in november this year...

Spaceman-Spiff · August 17, 2003, 05:36:13 PM

yes, im using Firebird with Luna theme (XP)

Seph|roth, what is it that u dont like in Firebird?
it's been very stable already since v0.5
what is it that made u say firebird is worse than IE? :|

Seph|roth · August 17, 2003, 05:46:31 PM

* starts Firebird 0.6 one more time and investigates what the problem with it was again *

well, i've been having major problems getting all the needed plugins to work correctly--or getting them to work at all.
Plus, it still misses too much features that MyIE2 does have.

But as i said earlier, i really looks promising and i'm sure that future releases will take it to a higher level, making it (hopefully) worth downloading it again.

[Unknown] · August 17, 2003, 06:32:08 PM

Many browsers show the "favicon" in the tabs... but IE and IE based ones *ONLY SHOW IT* when the site is bookmarked in your favorites.

Absolutely NOT true, Google (for example) shows it too, and is definately not bookmarked. (using MyIE2)

sensovision · August 17, 2003, 06:52:06 PM

Mozilla show favicon all the time even if I not bookmark the site

so why ot use Mozilla while Firebird isn't ready?

But he also said "IE based ones", and MyIE2 is IE based...

Because i'm perfectly happy with MyIE2 now.. no need to change browsers just to be able to always see the favicon, methinks?

ah, yes, you need to install the registry first in order to do that
or, better: use the installer

glad to hear
if you like just join at the myie2 Forum to make MYIE2 much better than it is now

klumy · August 18, 2003, 12:44:25 PM

The forum members are important not the forumsoftware itself.
The MYIE2 forum consist of very nice and helpful members. Like here on the SMF board.

klumy · August 18, 2003, 12:59:17 PM

I see.
IMO it's not so fast like YabbSE or SMF. But it has a very good professional design. Especially I like the handling of BBC tags. It's a mixture of JAvascript dialogs and normal tags like here in SMF.

The official Terminator 3 Forum also uses WebWiz Forum. Just for info

klumy · August 18, 2003, 01:05:41 PM

What is a ganter, if I may ask?

klumy · August 18, 2003, 01:24:22 PM

I see. Thanks for the explanation

SparkieGeek · August 18, 2003, 01:50:24 PM

Part of the confusion might have been that it was spelt wrong... at least I assume it was! Gander

klumy · August 18, 2003, 01:52:09 PM

yeah Babylon didn't show any translation for ganter. But gander works

mattsiegman · August 18, 2003, 02:05:40 PM

klumy · August 19, 2003, 01:21:35 PM

regarding the Favicon thread:

It seems so this is an issue with IE. Because Opera and Mozilla shows the Favicon but IE 6SP1 not. IT has been also confirmed in MYIE2 Forum

klumy · August 19, 2003, 01:34:55 PM

Which 3 browser do you have installed?

Mine are

MYIE2, Opera, Mozilla
BUt MYIE2 is primary browser
