Battlestar Wiki talk:Site images

favicon

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. --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 --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. --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. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 12:22, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

Alright. --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. --Bp 13:16, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
