I've finally gotten around to adding a favicon.ico to the site. So you should now see it reflected immediately if you use Mozilla browsers (Firebird, Firefox, etc) in the browser address textbox, bookmarks and tabs. IE is a bit pickier and its caching mechanism doesn't always pick it up. Clearing your cache may help but what always works for me is to actually bookmark the site in question...close/re-open IE and then it should be reflected in the address bar. Nothing earth shattering but many have requested this over the past two years.

Cool, hey I was just going to ask you to take a look at it from the vbulletin directory...doesn't seem to be reflected from there. No big deal, main page is main thing but would be nice to have it throughout the site. Thought you'd know, prolly a setting in vBulletin admin since I see their "favicon.ico" file is in that dir but not reflected either. Maybe you can just replace with this nV News icon and flip a switch? :)

Cool, glad you like! :) Due to the small size of favicons you're limited so I just went with our colors and the "nV"...if anyone has any other ideas I'm open to them though.

A while ago, i thought to my self, i should make a icon for nvnews.net, but then i realzied i cant draw for anything, so i gave up!

How about adapting it for the forum pages as well? It looks good on the main page, but I'm in here a lot more often. ;)

Yeah I know Sat (see post #3 of mine) ;) It shows up for me within Firefox but not IE here in the forums (/vbulletin subidir). I'm sure it's just a setting that JuiceZ needs to tinker with in the vBulletin admin area.
