Is there any possible way I can change the icon from the little blank people into a biohazard icon?

I don't believe this is possible at the moment.

Feel free to request this feature here :- forum12.html

you could always get a favicon code and place it in the footer code to overwrite the current default one

Oh yeah, good idea Ashley. I completely forgot about the footer!

I don't know what sort of code you would need though :s_sad

Nexus and PanHandle are the coding specialists.

I think it's something like ;

Code:

well If I remember rightly sir ~FN~ (you remember him MJGB) has the Favicon code but there is one website that you can use which will host & generate it for you

and if you have not got the footer code in the template you use, just simply convert it into custom BB code and hide it in every page so it displays across the forums

here is the best website to use for favicons: http://www.iconj.com/icon_generator.php

Yeah, i will take a look at ~FN~'s website when i get home from work (about 6:30) and post the code here if no one else does it before then.

I got mine working by using the footer code. Check out my site for an animated Favicon. :s_thumbsup

looking good

Any chance of posting the code you used so the other users can use it?

He's done it via the iconJ generator and hosting (yes I've been peeking at source codes again, lol)

btw your code is correct

what I did was I went to http://iconj.com/ since they actually host the images, and I stole their code for one of their favicons

then I went to http://www.favicon.cc/ signed up, and made an animated favicon

you can dl the image and use it with http://iconj.com/, but they wont dl as animated.... so i went to the page it was on, viewed the source of the page, searched for .ico files... found the one I made, and threw it into the code I stole from the first place

and here it is

Code:

<!-- iconj.com animated favicon code -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" 
href="http://www.favicon.cc/favicon/185/39/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> 
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.favicon.cc/favicon/185/39/favicon.ico" type="image/gif" /> 
<!-- end of iconj.com animated favicon code -->

As you can see, it's a iconj.com code used with the source from favicon.cc

Looks like you need to scale down your banner a little bit - your template's broken.
