It's been there for a few years. HAve you just started using a new browser?

Strangely, earlier today I was getting the google icon there when I looked at ILX. It's back to normal again now.

(it's been there for ages, Mark!)

The Internet Explorer logo next to the http adress has just turned to a little ILX logo!

I seem to remember that that icon was one of the more popular entries in the "suggest a logo for ILX" thread from a few years ago.

Well, it just appeared out of nowhere for no apparent.

and still it doesn't show up on IE

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

it does on mine (only the new answers page though, these actual pages show the explorer icon)

And even then it's incredibly random.

and I didn't do that.

Use Firefox and it will always be there.

not always. mine has disappeared (although the link for the query to return today's message still has it). one of my bbc links has an icon that is the top left hand corner of the other bbc links magnified x2.

firefox keeps the icon data in the same file as the bookmarks encoded as base64 or something so it should be easy enough to copy them for one to another (but you probably need to do it whilst firefox isn't running)

for no reason i can ascertain, the favicon for house.co.uk on my Firefox is a little oldskool Netscape 'N' logo.

How do you install that? I never worked out how you manage to install it (on your website). :-(((

on my works computer none of my favourites have a special icon, i think this might be something to do with our firewall. IE at home at least has some favourite icons but it's never worked for ILX.

Firefox always shows them, including my own website ones.

i'm still upset we didn't use my dog logo
