i found by adding this to the register.php right after the

require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';

this has slowed down spam bots and spammers on my sites.

You could do it server side (check, and output the appropriate src for the img tag in the html page displayed), but it will slow things down, probably a lot.

Aye, that's one thing I was wanting to completely avoid. Especially due to the fact that this is one of those purely cosmetic with no real need type scenarios. big_smile I'd like to get it working, but wouldn't introduce load specifically for it.

If not, CSS is probably the fastest way to go (use a background image behind the real one).

Just been trying that, and not for the life of me can I figure out how to do it, (although my CSS skills aren't exactly legendary). big_smile This is what I've tried so far. (Can class= be used for img tags, btw)?

img.favicon {
        background-image: url(./images/icons/no_icon.png);
        height: 16px;
        color: #ffffff;
}
<img class="favicon" src="'.$icon_url.'/favicon.ico" alt=""/>

Am I barking up the wrong tree with that? It just doesn't seem to want to work. If I put text in the alt tag, that displays white as set, but the background image won't display if there is no favicon.ico.


Cheers.

mattf, is the

<img class="favicon" src="'.$icon_url.'/favicon.ico" alt=""/>

inside a <?php?
