Couple of questions.. What are they for and they are so small I can't tell much difference.

If number 8 is the milkway edge on I guess without knowing more that I vote for it.

What are they for ...

I would prefer no. 9

Constant dripping wears away the stone. :)

What is the advantage of a favicon, and why do we need one?

It looks to me like an completely unnecessary bit of bling with the same worth!

Hmmm...

I like all the galaxy representation ones, but something as large as a galaxy doesn't translate well to icon size. ;-)

The anagram one is kind of clever, since it's easily readable/recognizable but stills gives an impression of a spiral galaxy.

Even Aqua has its own favicon now. We're down with the likes of orbit now in our lack of favicon-ness. :(

Shows up in safari and firefox too. Silly IE doesn't play well with others.

Could be Ie6. I get other sites though.

Yeah, the icon doesn't show for me either.

I'm using Firefox (3.0.5) on Win XP. Maybe I have to close the browser down and come back to force it to update?

Depending on your theme it could look a bit dark.

Excellent, I'm happy to see it now, too. :-)

My Firefox 3 picks it up but not IE7

IE7;

Tools, Internet Options, 'General' tab, Delete, Delete all...,
check 'Also delete files and settings stored by add-ins', Yes, OK,
close IE7 browser, open IE7 browser, navigate to MilkeyWay,

Voila! works every time.

Well it of course looks differently to the eye in a thread with a white background than it would with a black background. So in the thread I can see a slight improvement. Might be more in the browser.

And did you notice something else? Beat that!
