OK OK, Its stupid but... (the icon)

Post by mrdbarnes » Fri May 15, 2009 7:27 pm

I just love my Ooma...(home and office) When I use Google Chrome, I get the Ooma icon when I add it to my favorites, BUT I do NOT get the icon when using IE 8, I like using the favorites bar in my browser. Can anyone help me get the icon on IE 8?

It's called a favicon.

IE has always had trouble with favicons.

Looks like an ooma issue, at least right now.

http://oooma.com/favicon.ico points to a broken image link.

Try again. :)

More info on favicon at wikipedia:

It seems it was created by Microsoft and now isn't supported by I.E. because I.E. does not support W3C standards. Ironic.

Working now :)

It's supported by IE, it's just quirky. You can't believe everything on Wikipedia ;)
