Redlynx has no favicon, I think it would be really cool if you guys made one. If you don't know what they are then.. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...G=Search&meta=.

...the wiki page said they come in 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 pixel squared. I didn't know which to make so I made them all http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif REDLYNX YOU NOW HAVE FAVICONS!
Lets just hope they use them now http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif they make your bookmarks look a lot more tidy.
do they have to be a special format, I tried making one before for my website, but it never came up.
EDIT: Ok a little more research and I found why I had a problem with it before... it has to be saved as favicon.ico - excelt the .ico format isn't standard, and you need to get a plugin to use it in photoshop: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/
EDIT2: Ok I'm starting to see why few sites have them.. I couldn't get those plugins to work at all (Win7-64bit, CS4). Thankfully there is a site that you can upload your images to and it converts them for you: http://www.favicon.cc/
Here are Billy's icons in the correct format (they just need to be renamed so that they are just called 'favicon.ico' and dropped in the root directory of the website): http://www.godmil.com/favicons.zip
We had Favicon and older site but it seemed really random when it worked or not. Maybe it would be cool to put it there even if it would not work 100% accuracy. And mockups are great!
Its so hard to get those things working consistently and with different browsers. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_mad.gif
