Title: Icon change
Post by: Griffin NoName on September 11, 2010, 05:29:06 PM
The little icon next to the tab text label for the IE page (top bar) has changed from the TFM symbol to a small blue shield. (technical stuff - the favicon). Only on unwrapped forum. Is this deliberate or some odd thing?

It does work for me in IE8 on XPSP2. Let me try on 7... it works too. Have you installed something lately?

I wouldn't be using IE if I were you anyway.

Not an issue on Firefox, it seems.

Looks like carp in IE but it's still the same for me...

Installed - hmmm - no. Anyway the icon gets picked up from server root directory of forum, so I would expect to be picking up the same as everyone else.

How strange.

Another of life's great mysteries.

Totally weird. The icon has now gone normal again. Haven't done anything my end - no updates or reboot. Seems it is magic. Whatever, it is nice to be seeing the real thing.

Clearly the MIB have returned to normal monitoring of your nefarious intertube activities.

Don't joke. That had crossed my mind.

Ha! Have discovered where the blue shield icon came from. It's the symbol used by the university where I am doing my MSc. I feel better now, although not completely as I still have the mystery of how it appeared. I suspect it is IE doing something silly.
