Site icon - John Peterson - 12-24-2009
Currently neither dolphin-emu.com or forums.dolphin-emu.com has an icon. Here's a suggested icon for it.

I've only seen it used as a 16x16 icon, however if it's stored as a .ico file it could contain other formats.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that conversation. I don't agree with the decision to close the thread. The majority of websites now use an icon.

Yes it was traditionally called favicon.ico but is now part of the HTML standard with the <link rel="icon"> syntax. And as pointed out on Wikipedia, if it's a Windows icon the type should be type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon", not type="image/x-icon".
RE: Site icon - John Peterson - 01-24-2010
Bump.
Here's how to define the site icon:
PHP-Fusion
Replace "images/favicon.ico". The icon is already defined as <link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />, probably in "themes/templates/header.php". That's slightly incorrect HTML though, it should be <link rel='icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'>
MyBB
Templates > Modify / Delete > Select your theme > headerinclude > Edit
Add <link rel='icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'> if the site icon is located in 'images/favicon.ico'.

In my opinion, that icon should be used for the program as well, instead of that lame Mario silhouette. But, hey, do want you want.

I always wondered how the Mario silhouette was not trademark infringement. I guess it goes outside the "identical or confusingly similar" definition. But to be safe we should probably go with the dolphin instead of Mario.
