Domain General: Favourites icon not working

You should be logged in to post new messages. Create an account.

Hello/Bonjour,

I am a new customer of Gandi because it was recommended by a Moonfruit
forum moderator/assistant.  I have since learned they are a part of the
same group.

I bought a domain name from Gandi this week and have set the DNS A
record to point to my Moonfruit website and selected Masked mode because
I really don't want my site visitors to see my Moonfruit web address.

I had no problems with my previous domain name provider, but now with
Gandi as my provider, my Favourites icon is no longer being displayed in
the address bar.

Why would this be?  Any ideas?.... Anyone?

Thanks, Stefan
Okay, I found the answer to my question under someone's else post
entitled 'favicon'.

Apparently favourites icons are not supported by Gandi's system in
Masked mode.  Great  :-/

Very annoying.

Very, very annoying.

Hi Stefan,

What is your domain ?
You can using a "clean" redirection to moonfruit with one "A" record.

Hi Jonathan,

I take it all back.  Miraculously, my favicon is now visible when I
enter either www[MASKED].com or just [MASKED].com.

However, I am concerned that I will experience problems with both PayPal
and Search Engine Indexing because I want my visitors to see my domain
in the address bar and not Moonfruit's (I have selected Masked
forwarding and changed my DNA A record to point to 146.101.249.107).

Do you have any suggestions how I can display my domain without
experiencing these difficulties?

Thanks, Stefan
Okay. I now understand that by simply pointing the DNS A record to
Moonfruit's servers and NOT selecting masked forwarding as well, all my
problems are solved  (PayPal, search engine indexing and favicon all
operating correctly).
