Hi AGEOD staff/moderators. I know you are very busy and I appreciate all your efforts towards patches and gamer support.

However, considering the time and effort you've put into the graphics for your games, why not devote a little time to creating a swish icon for your websites and forum (such as the ones for Red Orchestra, Free Internet Chess Server or Consim World)? Or do you have on that my Firefox is not picking up?

I just find it easier using icons to quickly to go my favorite forums.

cheers,

Nice suggestion, thanks!

No clue how it's done, but I will ask to our webmaster (Demarcroix). :indien:

The easiest way is to add

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

in the <HEAD>-section of the webpage (template?), with favicon.ico here being placed in the webserver's document-root and being the icon you wish to use :)

Since I'm a bit bored at work at the moment, you can see it demonstrated on the following page:

The icon is rather crude, but you can find it here, should you like: http://folk.uio.no/amveha/aacw/ageod.ico

That is quite good.


I've also just found a nice Firefox add-on to "faviconize" the tabs, resulting in tabs with just the favicon:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3780

It's handy if browsing heaps of tabs at once.

favicon.ico

It's on the way, e.g. see: www.a-acw.com ...

But I need more time for the main website, because it's a more complex architecture... :bonk:

Cool. Thanks for taking the time on such a trivial matter.

Cheers,
