Is the icon next to the message board's URL address on my browser a donut? If not, what is it?
Am I the only one who thinks of a pregnant woman's belly button every time she sees it?

A lightbulb? Are we looking at the same thing? Is what you see round and pink, with a darker pink center?

If you're talking about this: [img] http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/favicon.ico[/img] It is, indeed, a lightbulb. Kind of like the one at the top left corner of this post, near the timestamp. Yellow bulb with a little filament inside, and then a little grey screw underneath it. It's the (old) Infopop logo. They're the people who made the MB software. At least, that's what I see. Don't know why it would show up as pink for you. Unless it's the wrong icon. I've had that happen sometimes, where the browser uses an icon from a different website for some reason.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Mine's a light bulb too. Vicki, maybe you have some sort of donut theme on your computer.  Hee hee

I have no idea why I was seeing a pink donut... if it was a donut.  I had several people look at it and no-one knew what it was. Most people either said a pink donut or a pregnant lady's belly (that's what I thought it looked like  ) Anyway, for some reason, after 3 days of the pink donut, I'm now seeing a yellow lightbulb. Go figure. :rolleyes:

They're called favicons, and they appear if the site has a file containing the graphic - the snag is that the file has to be called favicon.ico, regardless of what site it's on, and from time to time browsers get confused about which favicon.ico they should display, and get one from the cache, rather than showing the one the site actually uses.
Since they don't really do much except make it more obvious you're on the page you want, and make it just a little easier to find the site on your bookmarks page (if your browser saves them at all), nobody seems to be making much of an effort to make them more reliable.
