I notice the site doesn't have a favicon yet, was wondering if it might be considered to add one.

Just a small suggestion, I find favicons are quite useful especially when I stick popular bookmarks on my browser toolbar.

Arn't they those things that go just before the address of the site you are visiting in the address bar? Like below? They also show up just before the site name when added to bookmarks.

We used to have one, but it got lost in one of the site moves. Anybody offering to make a cool looking one? Possible of the "BCF Face" or something Thinking

Ah I know what they are now! I used to see them on Firefox, but not on IE.

Where they really come into there own is if you use a personal toolbar on your browser made up of just images like this:

Well, favicons were invented by Microsoft but (typically) they then don't make them straightforward to use.

My screenshot is from the Opera browser which makes it very easy, however you can still do something similar with IE, this page provides pretty good instructions.

I use Fire Fox anyway .. not too worried.. the links bar is pretty good Thumbs Up and handy for quick links.. just the favicons would free up a lot of space there for more links.. not too worried though

Cheers.

As ever, this is something that only Korn could implement. Seeing as he pretty much ignores BCF these days I can't see it happening. Infact I think there is more chance of Clarkson apologising to Gordon Brown than of that happening!

I wondered what them little graphics were. Looks good.

Anyway, did Korn use his WOW powers to implement it or is there another admin dude?
