Yeah, it stopped supporting them quite a while ago... sometimes they work in Favourites, but not often.

If you browse with something like Opera you find them on a lot of sites, IE never shows them.

184661 2003-10-19 05:17:00 So it does (or does not, should I say). Just went to my Links sites with Internet Explorer and sure enough, no favicons turned up. :-(

Have been using Opera and Firebird for so long that I hadn't even noticed the lack of favicons in IE now.

Stupid browser. :p :D

184662 2003-10-19 05:25:00 I just noticed that I had an Icon Editor on my Red Hat box, so I had a wee play and added some red and blue to it. It was my first attempt at using the Icon Editor so don't get too excited :p

184665 2003-10-19 05:43:00 Very nice Jen. How about putting the icon itself up for grabs? :-)

Beetle: Have you got a Press F1 shortcut in your Favorites folder at all? Like, how do you get to this forum once you have opened Internet Explorer?
Susan B (19)
184666 2003-10-19 05:47:00 its shortcut is on the desktop.

184667 2003-10-19 05:53:00 I can put the icon up on ImageF1 but as it only accepts jpg's etc, you will need to save it and then change the extension from .jpg to .ico - unless Susan wants to grab it from there and stick it with the other one :D

184668 2003-10-19 05:55:00 Oh . Well in that case you are out of luck because that icon is way too small to replace your desktop icon .

Just pretend it is a PF1 icon instead of an E . :p :D
Susan B (19)
184669 2003-10-19 06:02:00 um jen its not working.
