Forum Shortcut

[JohnMcafee]

I've never had any problems creating short-cuts that link to the forum. The short-cuts automatically appear with the forum logo regardless of device, such as android tablet or Windows PCs.

For example this is how it appears on my (generic) android tablet.

I just go my first ever smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S4) last week, and while I have no problem creating the forum shortcut on it, it is only in the form of a red flag rather than the desired logo - see below.

Can any Samsung Galaxy owners shed any light on how to display the URL link with the site’s icon rather than the red flag?

use chrome as your browser or Firefox it is always good to have more than one anyway.

Many thanks IFGL, using the Chrome bookmark to create the shortcut did the trick.

However, now I appear to have the opposite problem on one of the Win7 PCs - when I made Chrome the default browser, all the URL shortcuts on the desktop reverted to the universal Chrome icon.

now that is easy to fix, I will have to look when i get into work though.

The only solution I have found is to use Chrome create new shortcuts one at a time and delete the old ones. No big deal as there is only a half dozen or so.

It is interesting that Chrome creates application shortcuts, whereas those being replaced are web document shortcuts.

Chrome is now my favourite browser, I do always have Firefox as a backup though, sometimes a feature may not work with one for some reason.
