We have a new emoticon!
Thanks to Julian Wiseman for providing this emoticon for us!
If you type in the code ":ftlop:" or ":FTLOP:" (without the quotes) you will get the following icon:
Thanks Julian! Very much appreciated. It will keep all of us from having to type "For The Love Of Port" all the time :)

Seems like an eternity, but very much worth the wait. Thanks to Julian and Stewart for making this a reality!

No, the emoticon isn’t the point. The point is the
favicon: that little 16x16 identification that appears in the URL bar, and on the menu next to the bookmark. And that isn’t yet there. Please put the .ico (distinguished from the .gif) at root, called favicon.ico (so at
www.fortheloveofport.com/favicon.ico).
Also note
old thread on this subject.

Stewart did this, then un-did it. Reminder: please could it be re-done?

I also thought the intention of Julian was to made a flavicon, NOT a emoticon. Flavicons look nice in your list of favorites, makes it easier to recognize the bookmarks.
So please, re-do it.

I agree that this is something that needs attention and should be done sooner rather than later. Thanks to Julian for this, although I am fond of the
emoticon too!

Commendation for a brilliant spelling error. Was it deliberate?

Imagine if we only had a Forum to worry about.
