    Also, do we want a new footer logo?

    I'll work on the footer image, but I'm thinking it should just be the flame. If you're already here, there isn't really a point in having 'Wordforge' scrawled across the flame. Like Apple or Pepsi, people should see the flame and know it is Wordforge.

    Also, can this[1] be changed also?

    As of now, you can't even see what the words are, and it would look much nicer as just the flame.

    Here is the WF Flame for the footer. Lemme know if it is too big. Not sure what size the [1] should be if we are changing it.

    Next up will be sig banners for other forums.

    Size probably doesn't matter, but do we want the name in there too?

    Let's try it without a name in there.

    It's always looked...messy... with it.

    Yeah, just the "flaming W" should be okay.

    If I give you a 16x16 png, can you turn it into a .ico file?

    [-]Give me a BMP file and I'll make it work. .ico is a simple enough file format that I can generate one by hand from a BMP. 16x16 please, with no special color palette. [/-]

    [-]EDIT: never mind, there's more to it than I thought.[/-]

    EDIT 2: apparently there are quite a few .ico creators online. 16x16 PNG should be sufficient as source data, where all the pixels have transparency of 0 or 100%.

    And...

    HERE is the icon file.

    Let me know if this is ok. It is not 16x16 but 16x14.

    I couldn't get it to upload to any image hosting service including WF.

    Looks like 16x16 to me. I'll upload it tonight. You may not see it update for a while as browsers cache favicons rather aggressively.

    It's up. As I suspected though, it'll take a while to show up. After emptying my cache, it's still not showing up. Even when I go to the image directly, I have to hit reload for it to show up correctly. :marathon:
