Could we get a favicon?

I know it's a pretty minor thing, but the default blank page one is very dull. I've a got a Firefox add-on that let's me make them, but it only works for bookmarks, not the whole site, as you can see:

Is there an option to give the site a proper one?

Personally, I've never really seen the point of these and I don't think we need one. I mean, it doesn't take much longer to find it in your Favourites without it, does it?

But I suggest that, if Mike were to want one, he use yours. I like it.

I like tham because I open a lot of tabs at once so looking at the icon makes it easier to identify which tab I want to open or close

You can add a custom favicon in Internet Explorer. You can also do it in Firefox but you have to manually edit bookmarks.html.

I did it, I just copied the favicon from daizex.com.

Is it possible to do with Opera?

It's not about finding the site easier really, just about making my tabs look a little nicer.

Does it work with the whole site or just the bookmarked page? I'll have to look into it more I suppose.

Oh man. I don't know. It's been ages since I messed with Opera, but I seem to remember that you could left click on a bookmark and find an option to change it in the preferences or tools or something like that. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. I probably am.

It only works with a single page. And it won't show up in the URL bar, only the bookmarks menu and toolbar.

But hey, it works for me. I've got the Daizex Forums linked in my toolbar between Twitter and DevientART.

That's the same as mine then, except with FF it shows on the URL bar too (only when on the bookmarked page of course).

I'm in favour of this (if only because I'm too lazy to do it myself)!
