    Solved Mobile Phone Bookmark Icon Issue

    Mobile Phone Bookmark Icon Issue
    Hello

    One of the users on our forum has brought to my attention a problem they are experiencing with their mobile device. I don't use a mobile phone device so i am having trouble finding a solution. Ive searched the forumotion archive and all i found was a solution through the use of widgets but this causes errors in our forums display that i would like to avoid.

    Basically the issue is this user has bookmarked the forum to his phone menu but it's appearing as a screenshot. This is the screenshot they sent me of their iPhone menu screen, they would prefer a static icon like the Twitter icon for example:

    Is there something i can add to the CSS. file to fix this?

    This is our forum - http://madge-tribe.forumotion.com/

    Add this to your Templates if you have them, or your homepage message if you dont:

    Code:
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="LINKTOICON" />

    if you want it to add gloss automatically use above, without gloss use below:

    Code:
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="LINKTOICON" />


    IMPORTANT

    Your icon MUST BE:
    57x57 pixels
    90 degree corners
    Does not have any shine or gloss
    Does not use alpha transparency
    MUST BE IN PNG FORMAT.
