Ranger-Forums.com Favicon added

For anyone that cares, thought we needed it and its pretty neat. Now we have a little Icon in the address bar and when you add it as a favorite (at least in Firefox) it uses the icon. Clear your browser catch to have it added in your browser.

create a 16x16 pixels image in Photoshop or others. Download the ICO file format plugin
http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/#icoformat

save it as favicon.ico

put it on your site.

edit the index.html or index.htm by adding the following lines between <head> and </head> some where.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
