The Lurkerlounge: Now officially endorsed by Google!
![[Image: LL.jpg]](http://www.home.no/lzp/LL.jpg)
Seriously, a while ago I noticed that my Lurkerlounge-logo on my links-bar had been replaced by the logo for the famous multi-purpose website www.google.com.
Now, it's not a major pain in my backside to see the "Google"-logo instead of the LL-logo, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone knew which event might have caused this sudden transformation; and also if there's any way of rectifying it.
Although; with the number of references made to Google here on the Lounge, perhaps we *should* be endorsed by the search engine. B)

My Lurker Lounge bookmark icon has been replaced by the GameFAQs one :(

All my bookmark icons are the IE icon on a blank page. :( I have to read the whole bookmark thingy. :shuriken:

This happens to me in Firefox occasionally. Seems to occur if I load a page that has an icon instead of the blank sheet, and then quickly load a different page with no icon before the current page is completely done loading.
I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it, however, and yes - it is quite annoying.

That must be my problem, too. In FIrefox, I have the New York Times' logo for many of my bookmarks, including the LL and RB. It happened right after I bookmarked their RSS feed, but I don't think the two are related. Also, that wouldn't explain why CivFanatics has taken over some bookmarks themselves.

Happens to me alot too. The LurkerLounge took the FiringSquad icon, and MULTIPLE bittorrent sites I have bookmarked have taken the Suprnova "S" as their icon.
It's really weird.

My LL bookmark is the Yahoo one. :(

My main Lurker Lounge bookmark is the Xanga X, while my Forum bookmark is the Newgrounds logo.
Really wish there was some way to change that without deleting the whole thing...

For Firefox Users:
This is caused by multiple, very hard to produce bugs in Firefox. Make sure you're on the latest release version, because the guy who works on the bookmarks code squelched alot of these bugs between 0.9 and 1.0. Unfortunately, those bugfixes still won't fix bookmarks already messed up
Two solutions for currently messed up bookmarks:
1) Ugly. Go through your bookmarks.html file in your profile (check Firefox Help for details if necessary), and delete the ICON="junk" part of the offending bookmarks. Just don't mess up, or you'll corrupt the file.
2) Easy. Favicon Picker extension. Adds some functionality to Bookmarks' Preferences to selectively choose, or clear, an icon. Sorry for not linking to update.mozilla.org, but it has an old, non-1.0 compatible, version of Favicon Picker.

Huzzah! Thank you Quark! While minor the problem was quite annoying and this extension has done just the trick.
