I made a 16x16 favicon.icon and put it in the root directory of both fractint.net and fractint.org. It's just the default mandelbrot, which seems as good an image as any. I also added this statement to index.html in <head> </head> secion: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> If you are not familiar with this, the little image shows in the URL field of your browser. Seems to work for FireFox. Works with IE 7.0 on fractint.net but not fractint.org. It is supposed to show in subdirectories also. If anyone knows anything about favicons, let me know if I did it right. At first it only showed in the top directory, I fooled around with it and now it seems to show in subdirectories, not sure what I did. On other sites I manage I just placed the favicon image in the root directory and everything just worked. We haven't talked about this, but I registered fractint.net and am hosting it on one of the cheap shared hosts (dreamhost). It has a mirror of fractint.org which is at fractalus. Tim
Silly me, of course mailman stripped the html in my message. The line was (altered to not be html) ((bracket) link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x- icon" (end bracket)

Nope, it came through just fine. Maybe the way you're viewing your mail? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

I view all of my email in TEXT mode, so there was no problem here. Your previous email came through correctly. And the icon appears to work quite well in the browsers I have tried out so far, for both sites. Even stores it with the Bookmark.

I see the html in my mail client OK. I often check my mail online in order to mark spam, and occasionally read it before downloading - I think it was the web view that didn't show the embedded html. In my mail client I see it.

Here are my results: 1. At home with firefox: I see the favicon in both firefox and IE 7.0 2. At home with IE 7.0: fractint.net works but not fractint.org 3. From work with IE 6: neither work. Not a big deal, I was just curious. Tim

Supposedly the favorite icon thing was one of the things that was supposed to be fixed in IE7 vs. IE6. In IE6 I saw it work sporadically. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

Maybe the delayed appearance is because pages were cached locally? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
