I have a tech question...
you know when you right click on a webpage to save it to your favourites?
Sometimes it appears in my favs as the blue internet explorer lcon and not the lcon of the web page i'm on,,,eg Googles icon is the 'G' in a white box.
Is there a way round this ?
Also this happens when i try to save this Watchfarscape.com to favorites.I have it saved already but i want an icon...Do we have one? :huh:

See, you don't control that little icon, the people running the website do. If they have a specialized icon set up on the server, your browser pulls that, displays it in the address box and uses it next to favorite entries. If not, it uses the browser's icon. I think it's something like" icon.ico" (without Googling, this is all from memory, but hopefully I've gotten the gist) and your browser looks for it on the server when you visit the site.

Easy enough to create and add, though, best I remember. It's kind of a nice little thing to see, I admit.
