Now this is definitely a top priority item, darius. It's been that way for well over two years now dating all the way back to the days of IVS. The things people see....scary.<shakes head>

I had an icon in my bookmark folder (using Firefox). But then I noticed, that only some of my Invelos bookmarks had this icon. And now after adding the main page again to bookmarks, the new one doesn't show the icon and even my old link has lost the icon

It' just a little change. Cosmetically more attractive and makes picking it out of my bookmark lists easier. If a fix only takes two minutes, then it's a probably two minutes well spent (especially if someone can say off the top of their head exactly what the issue is). Anyway, it works for IVS both now and in the past (take another look at the screenshot).

Looking at the page sourcecode, the necessary information is in the header (i.e. <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.invelos.com/SiteIcon.ico" /> ),

Maybe Firefox expects the quasi-standard "favicon.ico"? I too have only this generic page-icon if I bookmark a Invelos page in FF.
Works as it should under Opera.

cya, Mithi

I'm not sure what you mean by "quasi-standard favicon.ico". I know that it's not limited to the traditional favicon restrictions of size and format (not that I think any browser restricts to these standards these days) because the HouseOfAnime icon is an animated gif and works as I might have expected.

Given that a couple of others have indicated that there is a problem, I wondered if there was a suggesting bug report attached to Firefox. I found this bug, which was suggesting a possible problem in Firefox. I downloaded the Invelos icon to get a look at it and noticed that it was the same icon released with version prior to 3.1 (7 images) Version 3.1 I believe included a more complete icon (8 images) to resolve a minor issue that could affect the icon image  on the desktop.

I don't know the whys and wherefores, but it may be that this problem could be 'fixed' by simply uploading the updated icon onto the website (a two minute job at most).

Does this theory make any sense to anyone who knows about icons?

I - using FF 2.0.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.4 - see in all places (address bar, bookmarks, tab) the round disc icon.

Remark: Once FF has assigned an icon, it does not change it anymore.

Maybe you copy the bookmark URL, drop the bookmark, reload the page and re-add the bookmark

No luck I'm afraid. But it is interesting that you have a version of Firefox tat works.

It certainly would (nice little addon that). It'd be nice to see a more universal workaround though.

On my XP it does indeed look different (Lesezeichen = Bookmark):

I've done a little bit of experimentation with icons from th site and from the 3.1 executable with unhelpful results (neither of them would bookmark!).

I've got no idea what's causing it, but I'll ask Ken to update the icon anyway on the off chance that it may have an impact.

Thanks all
