Is it possible to change the site icon that shows up when the site is bookmarked/favorited (eg. the red dice looking thing with the "W") to a custom one?

No, sorry, you cannot change the favicon. This is because the favicon needs to be in the default directory of a website. There may be a CSS solution out there but I have yet to find one.

This is something that really needs to be fixed on the basic level of how favicons work.

Well, if there is a way to use HTML directly in the wiki, you can do that.

@Socks:

Yea I found the HTML, but it has to be placed in the <head> </head> tags of the page. I have no idea how to get to the HTML source for my pages. I've poked around in the Site Manager but found nothing.

<head>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="ICON URL">
<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="ICON URL">

</head>

Something like that.

I'm going to put some research on this and submit a mini-report to the power that be. Thanks. :)

I'm assuming Pro Users are paying ones, correct?
