MetaChat - To your left

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.

To your left you will see links to the feeds. To your right you will see a link to #metachat (an FAQ is on the way). Up above in your address bar you'll see a little blue bunny. You may need to clear your cache otherwise the bunny vanishes.

Even after clearing the cache, I can't see the favicon... Any ideas. I use safari.

Are you using Firefox?

posted by taz 16 July | 07:33

Safari.
I can load the ico directly, and favicons from other sites work OK, but this doesn't. I shall investigate.

posted by seanyboy 16 July | 07:36

Got it. Delete the folder ~/Library/Safari/icons.
I'm now bunnied up.

posted by seanyboy 16 July | 07:39

oops and d'oh! Try this, maybe:

Browser Issues: Microsoft IE 6 for Windows will not display the favicon until the URL has been added to the favorites, and Safari for the MAC will not display an updated favicon until the browser cache has been cleared. But choosing ‘empty cache’ from the menu won't help because Safari stores favicons in a separate cache. You must empty the icon cache yourself. Look for it in User>Library>Safari>Icons.

From here.

hah.

btw, if anyone is wondering about my inane comment, I saw "Safari" and my stupid, stupid mind just translated it to "Mac", like "Even after clearing the cache, I can't see the favicon... Any ideas. I use Mac." Oye.

Don't be worrying too much taz. There's not a one among us who hasn't misread/misspoken/mistyped not to mention misbehaved at some time or other!
Cute bunny. mm...red wine sauce. Ooops.
Thanks dodgygeezer.

And, dodgy, love that bunny!

posted by Frisbee Girl 16 July | 10:08

I can't take any credit for the bunny - taz, is that one of yours?

posted by dodgygeezer 16 July | 10:18

Yes, but it's just an alteration to a bit of clip art I found.

posted by taz 16 July | 10:54

taz & dodgy, you both are the bee's knees! Thanks all around.

posted by Frisbee Girl 16 July | 10:59

Yay!
