GBModerator Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hello Moderator:Why doesn't Gamesbid.com have a "favicon"? I'm using Mozilla 1.5 and the website doesn't seem to have one. You should add one! GamesBids.com DOES have a favicon and always has. Click here to view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried it from the main GamesBids.com site or just the forums? - in some cases it may not work in the forums due to the use of CGI scripts.

Alan in Montréal Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Tried it right from the top of the site (home page.) and it doesn't come up. I'm currently testing the Firebird browswer from Mozilla, plus using IE 6 SP1 and Mozilla 1.4. It doesn't show up on Firebird or Mozilla even though, as I stated, neither brower has trouble with them on any other sites. You may want to test it using Mozilla, which is just the unbranded version of Netscape. You can get the software here http://www.mozilla.org/. If it doesn't work on Mozilla or Firebird, then chances are that it won't work on Netscape either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYRROS2004 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm using IE 6.0, I have added the forum in my favorites, and I can see the GB flame logo at the beginning of the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan in Montréal Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm using IE 6.0, I have added the forum in my favorites, and I can see the GB flame logo at the beginning of the link! It shows up in a link, but it's supposed to show up in Netscape and Mozilla and Firebird in the url at the top. I can take a screen capture and show you an example if you provide me an email address. (This applies to Moderator too!). No special programming is needed at the website. It picks up the image from the standard favicon.ico file.

I believe you, no need to send a link. Perhaps you should clear your cache or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan in Montréal Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 According to MS Support, this is an "issue" with virtually every version of MS IE!! See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;257130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PYRROS2004 Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Ok here's a problem that I have. I try to change my signature, and write something in Greek. 1 year before the Games! Thessaloniki.04 Ασε το φόβο σου και γίνε οτι θες, κάνε τα πάντα να γυρίζουν είναι η σειρά σου The characters are 243, but when I press OK I receive a message that the signature is too long. When I use grenglish language it's OK. Is this an Ikonboard bug or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan in Montréal Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well, Mr. Moderator - your favicon still doesn't work in Mozilla or Firebird. I don't get it. Every other website's does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBModerator Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Well, Mr. Moderator - your favicon still doesn't work in Mozilla or Firebird. I don't get it. Every other website's does. Honestly, I'm not sure why. Since you've raised the issue I've tested it on a variety of machines and browsers and they all seem to work. In mozzilla, did you bookmark GB before or after you raised the question? If before you may want to delete it and re-add it. I added a line of code that could help.

Tried your suggestion and it still didnt' work. BUT, I posted a request in a Mozilla Firebird forum and this is what I got back. I hope this resolved the problem, Mr. Moderator.... No, I don't see the icon. It's being served with the wrong content-type: Headers for http://www.gamesbids.com/favicon.ico * HTTP/1.1 200 OK * Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2003 17:33:22 GMT * Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.9 OpenSSL/0.9.6a * Last-Modified: Tue, 13 May 2003 16:33:18 GMT * ETag: "1aa4c5-2fe-3ec11e4e" * Accept-Ranges: bytes * Content-Length: 766 * Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 * Connection: Keep-Alive * Content-Type: text/plain The webmaster needs to add the following line to .htaccess: AddType image/x-icon .ico Let me know once you try it and I can confirm if it works or not.

PYRROS2004 Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Any idea why I can't write Greek in my signature??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBModerator Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 JA - I added the two mods you sent me - let me know what happens. PYRROSS - I'm not sure why you can't add Greek, all I know is the discussion software is designed for English so it may not contain Greek character support.

I Love Minneapolis Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 WHenever I try to change my signature or anything under my personal info the little "Amend Your Profile" button does not showup, therefor not letting me change the quite large and stupid signature I have on at the moment, anything you could do to help would be appreciated.
