User talk:The thing
Logo 'next to' VideoLAN links.
Hi,
While looking around the wiki, I noticed the little icon that has been put in to be next to links. While this works for me in Firefox 3.5b4, for some reason, in my main browser (Safari 4 Public Beta) and in Chrome (2.0.172.27) the icons appear beneath the link, obscuring the text and the icons are missing entirely in Internet Explorer 7 (haven't checked IE8, I don't really use Windows much) and Konqueror 4...
If it's of any use, here is the code that MediaWiki 1.11 seems to use to show icons next to external links:
#bodyContent a.external, #bodyContent a[href^="gopher://"] { -moz-background-clip:border; -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous; -moz-background-origin:padding; background:transparent url(http://wiki.videolan.org/skins/monobook/external.png) no-repeat scroll right center; padding-right:13px; }
so perhaps you could simply override that with 'http://www.videolan.org/favicon.ico'
One problem could be that the 'ico' format is not brilliant for inline images and a png would be more suitable... Yours is currently: MS Windows icon resource - 2 icons, 32x32, 256-colors
Altogether, I hope this helps sort out these little icons (or we could just remove them :P)

Hi 'The thing' - it might be better IMO to wait until the user has made at least one contribution, since a lot of the new users are probably spambots (username patterns are weird too).
BTW which developer, if any, are you on vlc-devel or IRC?
