It might be due to his browser. I had the new favicon and everything and then my browser (Firefox 3.0) just went and reset the favicon to the one from the old site without asking me anything. I have no idea why. It shows correctly on my work computer.

This is the favicon that shows up for me on FF2:

I had switched it back to the favicon we used to use which was sarge who was our 'mascot' of sorts for years. The oval logo didn't work because of how wide it is just didn't look good at that small size so I threw sarge back up there. I may throw up the one DG did....basically just using the S out of the logo....it's more clear at such a minuscule size.

lch, this is sarge, not mario!

Yeah, I just found that image from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...&postcount=102 too, but I have no idea where David/Anette found that image.

I guess I'm not old school enough...

One more thing concerning the site conversion that I guess you're already aware of:

The old forum software didn't leave dummies and then rendered them when the pages were viewed, but instead it directly replaced it with HTML code when a post was made. One such example is the use of smileys:

For example, for , instead of a smiley tag, it directly placed the code

in the text. It shouldn't be too hard (a mere search-and-replace job which can be automated) to replace those hard links to the image URLs.

Lookie there, the new favicon is installed. And I still can't dish out rep to David because I'm strapped of my reputation.

Aahh, yes you can't continuously give reputation to the same person.....I think you have to give it to 20 people before giving it to the same person. It's to prevent people from just boosting a buddy's reputation and vice versa to skew the results.

I just found out, and seeing the new favicon proves what I found out,.. favicons cannot have transparency. So, I updated the favicon to replace the transparent pixels with white... here you go...



it should now look as intended once you grab it, rename it and place it in the right spots.

Cheers!
