Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - What is the correct size for a favicon.ico?

I downloaded the icoformat file for Windows.

I placed it in Photoshop's Plugins folder.

I created a 16x16 and then "Save As" showed an extra file format *.ICO

Saved it as an icon and uploaded it with the coding on the index file.

Excellent |skull| I used to get my favicons from a JAVA applet on some site someplace.

Thanks Cleo & GeorgeTH

Trouble is I don't know about 32x32 etc.....

and also these favicons never last more than three or four days.

I've had bottles of milk last longer!!!

With one exception, http://www.smutgremlins.com/ I have an old MMX200 Mhz PC in my lounge which still has the Smut Gremlins favicon on it. Maybe 3 or 4 years it's been on there..... I remember talking to Emerald about this, asking her how she did it, and I tried to get it to work on another machine, but it never lasted.

My conclusion is....... favicons are fuckin' haunted. |ghost|
