Title: Really Weird Problem
Post by: Skinny Santa on 14 Apr 2008, 19:55

Is anyone else stuck with the T-Rex icon in their bookmarks? Since they switched around XKCD QC and DC as a prank the little icon next to the bookmark has been T-Rex. I tried deleting and creating a new bookmark a couple of times and it hasn't worked. I'm running Opera if that helps.

Sorry if this problem has been discussed exhaustivly and I missed it, I just kept thinking it was something that would fix itself.

Delete all the affected bookmarks, purge your browser cache, then reload the page. When you make a new bookmark, it should have the right icon again.

Is it really that big of a deal? For some reason, my icon is the little hat from Overheard in New York, but I don't let bug me...

What is it even supposed to be?

White "QC" in script on a gray background.

Oh, well then I don't really feel as though I am missing out on anything.

I too have had the dino head as the QC favicon since the great switcheroo.  I kinda like it.

I say keep it and look on it as a reminder of this years awesome joke.

Thanks for the fix, I'd leave it alone but I'm a tad OCD about these type of things, don't ask me why.

There is a Firefox Extension that allows you to choose your own icons for bookmarks. Useful for sites which don't have one..
