What is with the UPS Shield in the address bar? anybody notice it? or is this just on my computer?

Several weeks ago, I noticed a piece sign there.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Mine has the wrench open end head with the MB logo "inside" the head (like the fastener).

Strange. normaly I have the wrench too.

I was in the UPS web site checking on a tracking # for a parts order today, wonder if that has anything to do with it. I wouldn`t think so.

I just noticed it a few minutes ago. HMMM did UPS buy PeachParts?

If I go to UPS, the address bar will have the UPS logo.

But as it is, the wrench + MB logo is what I have now.

Refresh?

I hit the refresh a couple times, hit the Red X and was back to my desk top. came back into the forum, and it is still there.

I went to yahoo.com, and the peachparts wrench pops up in the bar? come back here and it`s the UPS.

Charlie,

Clear your cache, cookies, history, everything. That should fix the problem.

The purple peace sign is from craigslist. If you go back to craigslist you will see it again. it is called "favicon.ico" and its just something a website can make your browser display. I suspect the UPS brown shield is what UPS has for its "favicon.ico" on their site.

Sometimes the browser gets confused and serves up the old icon. Go to your browser preferences and clear cache.

When a site is opened in https:// (encrypted) mode, for example PayPal, you get an even fancier thing in the address bar. That is an indication that the site is who it says it is and not a phishing site that captures your paypal information.

Hope this helps
Andre

That peace sign or MB logo is the head of a bolt in the open ended wrench. Its part of the PP emblem I guess.

hi
had this recently with Internet Explorer 8 on Win 7....IE just doesn't seem to cope very well with custom favicons...must be an 'undocumented feature'...

Solution...get a better browser. I use Chrome, it's fine except for some issues with PDF's.....

cheers!

Iam using Windows 7 also, not sure which version of IE though.

My Son In Law the computer expert, mentioned to me to use fireFox which has less issues than IE.

Firefox is ok, Chrome is really fast and nice and simple, either is safer than IE - or Safari. Opera is quite nice too

I like the addons such as better privacy and noscript - puts you back in control of your computer and which scripts can be run or not...

...though I must admit noscript takes a bit of getting used to!
