Re: Favicon Image Problem



Problem solved. The 2 favicons were BMP files rather than ICO.

In order to not lose favicons I have been downloading them and then
changing the default icon for the favorite. I have a strange problem
with 2 icons. They are:
en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico and www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico. The look
fine on the screen. The thumbnails look fine. They look fine in a
paint program. When they display on the link bar they have a black
background. Why? I have no problem with others such as
www.versiontracker.com/favicon.ico.

Why don't you just use MVP Kelly's Theriot's solution instead of messing
about like that?
