I came across this link on how to get a custom favicon for the iPhone.

http://designshack.co.uk/tutorials/creating-an-iphone-website-icon

A Beyond "B" icon would look nicer on the screen instead of a screen shot icon of the forum.

This is how hit looks right now without the icon :

Try it now.
It's a 16x16 pic converted from our favicon.ico for now, but if it looks like garbage we can fab up a full-size one.

No worries, it's a temporary solution. We'll work on a better one and hopefully the iPhone is smart enough to see the new one and automatically update. I'll post in this thread when it's changed regardless.

k, try this new one.

EDIT: Just saw it, looks good. I dunno if the iPhone caches the picture so if you still see a shitty one, delete the link and re-make it.
