I thought this would be a good place to talk about this. I created a favicon for this site using the basic BSG circle logo, but ".ico" is blocked in the image upload. Most wikis will rediredct requests for favicon.ico to Image:Favico.ico, so I dont know why it is blocked here. Anyway, please unblock ".ico" so i can upload it and get rid of this ugly "basic page" icon on my toolbar. Thanks. --[[User:Bp|Bp]] 12:01, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

:It wouldnt work even if you did managed ot upload an ico file because images are actually uploaded withing a series of subdirectories. if you want a favicon to work it must be uploaded to the root folder. and that requires admin ftp access --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 12:15, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
::I'm pretty sure the MediaWiki software redirects requests for /favicon.ico to the image source for Image:favicon.ico. So it would work. But, i'll email it anyway. --[[User:Bp|Bp]] 12:28, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
:You'll need to send it to me via e-mail, so I could FTP it from there. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 12:22, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
::Alright. --[[User:Bp|Bp]] 12:28, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
::That one doesn't resize well to 16x16 so I am sending you a new one with a 16x16 defined. It looked good in details view, but bad in browser. Thanks for the quick work. --[[User:Bp|Bp]] 13:16, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

:::Great! --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 21:57, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

:::::They are not complete yet, and Peter gave some good suggestions over Gmail last night which i will work on when I have a spare few mins --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 02:44, 16 June 2006 (CDT)
::::::Any other suggestions from people. I will be adding a small black outline to all of the buttons like the outline of the text. I will also be shrinking the image picture or replacing with a landscape one too. Peter also expressed a little concern over the mediawiki icon, should it be changed back to a simple 'W'? And just incase anyone was wondering... the signature is by Frida from ABBA ^_^ --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 10:39, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
:::::::What is the NoWiki image of? Looks like some sort of explosion to me. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:43, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
::::::::Its the MediaWiki logo but you can only see the flower part of it with no double brackets. (look at bottom right corner of this wiki --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 10:44, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
:Updated images... comments please --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 13:47, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

:::Those are absolutely gorgeous. I have two nitpicks, though. The speaker on the "sound" button is a little hard to recognize. (I think this is probably unavoidable at this resolution, so I see why the default went with the trumpet.) I thought all "No ..." signs had their drawn diameters as slashes and not back-slashes, but this is inconsequential as the meaning is still more than clear. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 14:41, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
:::: If recognition of the speaker is a concern, you could take a page out of Apple's book and do a sideways profile with little sound waves coming out. <del>I'll see if I can find and image and link it here in a sec...</del> [http://www.horhaus.com/weblogs/archives/horcast/horcast_speaker_icon.jpg Here's] something similar. I'd advise working something up from scratch, just for the sake of copyrights. It's not a complex image. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 15:00, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
:::::I agree i think a new speaker icon is neccesary. I will see if I have time tonight --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 06:52, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
:::::Also its MediaWiki that has it wrong. All [[Wikipedia:Universal No|"No" signs]] are backslashes, at least in Europe. [[Wikipedia:Image:Ghostbusters Poster.jpg|Ghostbusters]] is the exception to the rule--[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 06:58, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
