Bullets FavIcon missing

Post by bradavon »

It's a small thing but the icon file that allows modern web browsers to show an icon for each website, is missing for Bullets. I noticed recently there is no icon next to my Bullets bookmarks and I've discovered, it's because:

Is missing. Can it be looked into please.

I'll sort it out eventually, not sure what kind of icon to make at the moment given the tiny size.

Can you please restore the original until then? Presumably you still have the original file. It looks awful with no icon period. It's a small thing but all my bookmarks have some sort of icon, this just has a gap.

I think you're gonna have to get in touch with Lourdes as only he has access to the full BnB webspace. I've at a look through the PhPBB admnistration control panel and didn't see anything there about the site favIcon.

Dunno where it is, not like it matters. Make one if you like, it was easy the last time I did it (many years ago) so I'm sure it's easier still these days.

Can you have a quick look for it please? What then forward it to you? What dimensions does it need to be?

The thing is it was there until recently, has the forum been restored or tinkered with?

It's not there, browsers store them for a while sometimes and their behaviour is finicky.

It's an ico file not a plain image, Google how to make them.

True.

Good point. Back in the day of Windows 3.1 I spent ages making my own. Why? I've no idea.
