I noticed that you still have the ebulletion Favicon that comes with the software out of the box & figured you may want to swap it out for a Webmaster-Talk Favicon to aid in visual branding efforts.

Attached is your Favicon (Simply overwrite the existing favicon in all locations). Keep in mind that due to browser cache it may take a while to propagate from the old to the new.

Enjoy!

Here's a quick one attached.. If you don't like it, you can make your own favicon with my free favicon generator located in the webmaster tools section of my site. First sig link -

I agree you should change it. Its a great branding opp that you are missing.

By having an image it in ways proves you are not just a parked page.

Favicons only show up in 4 areas that I am aware of (For branding potentials). Browser URL box, Tab headers, Favorites, & Social Bookmarks.

Favorites on the person that saved it as one can see.
Browser Box, Anyone surfing your site can see.
Tab headers, people on your site with a tab open can see in addition to the browser Box.
Social Bookmarks, You can see as well as others that have the ability to see different members bookmarks (Depends on the bookmarking system).

All in all, while it may not be a large leap, it is a type of branding that aids in visual stimulation. as we all know people remember things differently, while some remember textual or verbal experiences, others remember Visual.

Having the additional visual branding option can't hurt, but it just might remind some to check back & see what the site / company is up to lately when they come across the favicon image again in one of their lists. Not to mention, the Favicon gives a user a more established feeling when on a site, rather than a generic one.

Just my view on it
