Hey, howzabout a site icon?

[Skep]

You know, the little icon that shows up on bookmark lists and in browser address bars?

Like this --> http://img133.exs.cx/img133/5735/fficon6rj.gif (http://www.imageshack.us)

:popcorn:

[viscousmemories]

Erm... am I on Candid Camera?

I could've sworn you made the one we're using. Do you not see it?

[Skep]

Nope. I do remember making a similar little graphic once but it wasn't for the purpose of a site icon. At any rate, it doesn't show in my address bar. I'll delete my bookmark and resave it to see if it shows there. :chin:

[viscousmemories]

Weird. I could've sworn it was you who made it. Anyway now that you mention it I notice it doesn't show up in MSIE, but it does in Firefox. :chin:

[Skep]

Yeah, I'm using MSIE 6. Doesn't show at all.

[Crumb]

It shows for me in Firefox, but not in IE.

Is there a chance we could make a "smiley" of that, too? Like say maybe :ff: ?

[viscousmemories]

Ah, you did (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=48852#post48852) make the one we're using, Skeptoid. You just didn't realize it. :)

Nevertheless I'm clueless why it's not showing up in MSIE. :?

[livius drusus]

Here's the post of Skep's I got the current site icon from. I didn't realize it wasn't working on IE since it's fine on my Firefox.

Crumb, do you want it just by itself or with an actual little guy in there, like petting it or something? Possibly glomping it like the :miniglomp: I made for Lauri's new car.

[Crumb]

Oh I was just thinking the straight icon. Or maybe you could do both? :wink:

[Blake]

I'm not getting it in Vanilla Mozilla 1.7.2, either.

[Skep]

Okay, that original isn't 16x16 pixels. Could that be why it won't work with IE? Anyway, could this site be of any help to you? http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/favicon.shtml

[viscousmemories]

That definitely led me in the right direction, Skep. Thanks. Apparently Firefox didn't have a problem with my just renaming a .gif file favicon.ico, but I had to download and install a conversion program (I went with Iconshop 1.20 (http://users.pandora.be/liontech/Downloads.htm)) to convert the .gif file to .ico format for it to work in MSIE. It seems to work fine now. :slide:

[Skep]

I've got it in my favorites list now but it still doesn't show in the address bar. :chin:

Edit -- It just showed up in the address bar for the forum index. Yay!

[viscousmemories]

Hmm... odd. It's working for me with MSIE 6.0.2 on WinXP Home and on Win2k. :?

ETA: Oh, cool. Hopefully it'll be contagious. :D

[livius drusus]

Both it is: :ff:

:fflove:

[Crumb]

Fabulous, liv! :1thumbup:

/you is the best! Oh wait...doesn't that work yet? :wink:

You two are what make :ff: the best forum on the 'net. :)

[livius drusus]

That's such a lovely thing to say, Crumb. Thank you kindly. :huggle:

[Skep]

Both it is: :ff:

:fflove:
That animated one is just too cute. Very useful too. Like when we tell you and vm how great this little corner of the 'net is. :fflove:

[Skep]

Hee-hee. :gbear:

I guess you will have to make an angry ff too. :wink:

Just think of the utility against spammers.

Car 54 where are you?

[Crumb]

Oh liv! Why aren't these smilies yet!? :glare:

[Trinity]

Damn good question Crumb. Well? Why not? Huh? :whup:

[livius drusus]

I'm fine-tuning them. Trust me. It's all going to work out for the best.

[viscousmemories]

Fabulous, liv! :1thumbup:

/you is the best! Oh wait...doesn't that work yet? :wink:

You two are what make :ff: the best forum on the 'net. :)
/me is happy to announce the addition of /you.

/you is clearly ecstatic.

[Ensign Steve]

/you better stop talking about me like that! :glare:

[Crumb]

/you is the best!

/me is ecstatic!

:cheer: :fflove:

[Skep]

/me wonders what's up with all the skeptoid this and skeptoid that? :chin:

[Crumb]

/you obviously just doesn't get it.

[Ensign Steve]

What does it look like if you're not logged in?

* Guest is not logged in.

[livius drusus]

/you is getting jerked around, probably by Crumb.

:giggle:

[Skep]

/me has figured it out now but he thinks it's confusing and rather lame. :(

[Ensign Steve]

/you agrees with Ensign Steve that Skeptoid is being a poop!

[Crumb]

* Crumb is getting jerked around, probably by Crumb.

Hey now! I know that my gf is out of town and all, but this kind of speculation into my personal life is just not appropriate!

[viscousmemories]

/me has figured it out now but he thinks it's confusing and rather lame. :(
No :fflove: for the /you?

:sadnana:

[Crumb]

No for the /you?

Did you miss my post?

:fflove: :fflove:

BTW your nifty quote hack doesn't quote the smilies. :sadcheer:

[Gurdur]

Funniest thread ever ! :popcorn:

[Crumb]

/you wouldn't know funny if it crawled up his ass and died.

[Trinity]

/me has been busy while trinity was gone :wink:

[Skep]

* viscousmemories has figured it out now but he thinks it's confusing and rather lame. :(
No :fflove: for the /you?

:sadnana:
You get a :fflove: for the effort but I see problems on the horizon. :sadcheer:

[viscousmemories]

No for the /you?

Did you miss my post?

:fflove: :fflove:
I didn't, thanks. :)

BTW your nifty quote hack doesn't quote the smilies. :sadcheer:
Yeah, the author of the hack calls that a 'feature'. :wink:



What's that tickling up my ass?

[viscousmemories]

You get a :fflove: for the effort but I see problems on the horizon. :sadcheer:
Thanks. :)

I don't see problems, though. I see the novelty wearing off and it falling into disuse. But if problems arise, I can always disable it. :)

[Crumb]

but I see problems on the horizon.

/me has already learned the danger of the /you hack and will use it sparingly in the future.

What's that tickling up my ass?

This sounds like a personal problem.

[Skep]

See? (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=56459&postcount=1072) People who are not "in the know" are going to get hurt feelings. This hack is a terrible idea.

Sorry.

[viscousmemories]

I think you're right, Skep.

Picture Yul Brynner here saying: So it shall be written... etc, etc, etc.

[Crumb]

Damn I am such a bastard I spoiled it for everyone. :( I didn't think many people would stumble onto that thread. You can all blame me. :sadnana:

Hack? What are you guys talking about?

[viscousmemories]

Hack? What are you guys talking about?
I added a software feature today that made it so when someone started a sentence with "/you" (without the quotes) what you would actually see was something like * your name blah blah. As a result, Crumb put in that "/you is a brainless windbag yada yada" and you thought it was actually addressed to you. I've gone ahead and removed that feature to avoid any future misunderstandings like that.

[viscousmemories]

Damn I am such a bastard I spoiled it for everyone. :(
Yes you did. :spank:

I didn't think many people would stumble onto that thread.
I can see why you'd think that, what with it being the most viewed thread on the forum. :giggle:

You can all blame me. :sadnana:
Thank you! I've been in dire need of a scapegoat for years now.

[Crumb]

/me the goat.

[Skep]

:pat:

[livius drusus]

It's cep's fault too, let's not forget. They made me make vm install it with their boyish enthusiasm. :yup:

[Crumb]

I can think of something that would make up for the sudden disappearance of the /you hack... :yup:

http://burningsmell.org/angryff.gif http://img205.exs.cx/img205/2682/dancingff5nd.gif

[livius drusus]

Alright, alright. They're up. I tossed in another :joecool2: too just cause I thought he was really cute.

[viscousmemories]

Awww... cute :joecool2:

[Crumb]

:ffdance: Woohoo! liv is the best! :ffdance:

:fflove:

They look great liv, thanks! :cheerful:
