Title: Who would like to see the MC logo as the site icon with Internet Explorer?
Post by: BullishDad on November 05, 2006, 11:48:28 am: I installed IE7 yesterday and noticed that the site icons don't disappear after deleting temporary files. I'm talking about the icon displayed on the Links toolbar.

I think the icon used for the link to this board is the JRiver boat, but it is not very eye catching. The MC logo (round with play button in the center) would be an excellent choice. The same one as used for taskbar shortcuts.

Maybe if others agree with me, we will see this changed in the near future.

BTW: Are you sure it's a boat? I don't have another idea, but even with a little fantasie I cannot see a boat. And its definetly not the JRiver boat... Or do they have more than one boat :D

Hm, using your link I get: "You don't have permission to access /~jriver/misc/furtraders.jpg on this server.", but I think you wanted to show this:

Post by: sdgrizdan on November 10, 2006, 12:25:18 pm: Looks like it changed! Maybe, use the icon w/ transparent background instead?

Post by: BullishDad on November 10, 2006, 05:51:32 pm: I see the MC logo only at the MediaCenter home page and some links from there, but not for the Interact Forum.

We're getting close. How about moving that MC logo to the Interact pages? Please? It will look nice on the Links toolbar along with my other favorite sites.
