The icon in a URL is called a favicon. The DIS is showing up as a blue circle with the letters WSJ in them. Can anyone tell me what this means?
 
I also have the blue box with a squiggle. Maybe it depends on your browser? I'm using Internet Explorer.
 
That is the default favicon for vBulletin®, the Bulletin Board package that powers the boards.
 

hmmm, I use IE too. I have never seen it before. I guess it is new with an update or something.
 
I get the orange USP with mickey head on it.

Just updating myself. Some forums I seem to get the regular DIS one, others I get the generic one. Not sure why. I'm using Safari, if that matters.

I get the same as Jeff, but am using Firefox. I get the Vbulletin one if I'm not logged in when I launch.

Orange USB with Firefox, vBulletin one with IE (logged in at launch).

Using Safari, I get the orange DIS USB.

Maybe you were reading the Wall Street Journal before you came to the DIS site .... or was it the WALT Street Journal? :happytv:
 
Browsers occasionally mess up the favicon cache and display the wrong icon. Emptying the cache and clearing the history typically resolve the problem.

There are two ways to specify a favicon. You can put one at the top of your site or you can specific a link in the header section of the page. The latter allows you to vary the favicon across a web site. I'm assuming that when the podcast board was setup the choice was made to use the favicon from the disunplugged blog site.
