DITL Is Taking Over My Computer!

Post by Sionnach Glic »

Well, not quite. But something odd has happened.

I'm running Firefox, and as users will know you can put a string of bookmarks up the top of the screen just under the adress bar. The bookmarked site's logo (or whatever) appears next to the text of the bookmark. But when I started up my laptop a little while ago, the Youtube logo in my bookmarks bar had changed to the DITL logo. After a couple more minutes the logos for Yahoo Mail and Wikipedia also switched from their normal logos to the DITL logo. The links still brought me to the correct site, and still said "Youtube" (or whatever they were supposed to be) - it's just the logos that changed. After a few more minutes the affected bookmarks all switched back to using their correct logos.

Anyone else ever have something like this happen?

Yeah, I've had it happen quite a bit. Not just with DITL but any site with its own logo can do it.

Excellent. We have successfully hacked the supercomputer. All else shall now fall into place.

It's firefox. It's not too bright when it comes to sites that don't have a favicon.ico file. Sometimes it just uses a favicon from another site.

Yeah, I've seen icons from a number of other sites pop up in the wrong place as well.
