    My bookmark for polydog looks like a poor relation on my Firefox multirow bookmark area at the top of my browser. All the other cool kids have a favicon, so why not polydog :(?

    Favicon Generator


    P.S. If you make one, please make sure it works for FF. Who cares about IE/Chrome/etc.

    Yes ! And the trophies have to be strawberry daiquiris which as we all know dogs just love, especially poodles.

    Does it work for you guys now?

    Let me think about the whole trophy/reward/karma thing for a while. There is a really neat, really flexible add-on available for this software that can do just about anything I want, so I want to see if I can figure out a system that will make it even more fun to post.

    Wow it's great on my iPad, but in Firefox it doesn't work on my laptop. I've seen that it is there in Safari, therefor Firefox is the problem.

    you can give some nice icons prizes for example like BiTsar has proposed the strawberry daiquiris, but also for example some birds, chocolate, champagne, fries, pretty flowers, and also some more emoticon smileys for the posts.

    This forum is very nice :)

    I had to clear the FF web cache and then close the browser. When I came back it was there. Thanks for the work on this.

    Procedure to clear FF cache:

    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network->Cached Web Content->press "Clear Now" button ->close browser & restart


    P.S. Of course you know that the favicon is displayed in the browser tab as well as bookmarks. The browser tab favicon for HTLAL spins around to a different image . . . keeping up with the Jones' and all that what . . .
