What happened to the Railwire favicon? Looks like it got sucked into a black hole.

It used to be Tom's head (that was started when we had the "Tom's head madness" threads, years ago); maybe it still is Tom's head for some people. But for whatever reason, all I see is now a black square. That's in Chrome; IE just has the generic page icon (IE never did handle favicons properly).

I see that black square where Tom's head in a jar used to be on my Blackberry, too.

I was referring to the "favicon", a term I hadn't heard, as Tom's Head.  I now have just a black square in Firefox also.

Believe me, I've tried to make one. 256 pixels is simply too limiting.

I broke the rules and added a photo realistic one.  I have to think of use cases now; as in, why would it be used? :tommann:

OK, so there you go. You can break the rules--it's your football.  :tommann:

Although I do think we need instructions on how to use it. What does it convey? Give us some examples of context.

You know this must be used for evil.



And to annoy people.
