[Solved] Internet Tab 'Favourites' Live Thumbnails NOT Showing

---

Hi All,

I thought I'd share this little issue I've had, and managed to solve on my own *smug*

Basically, I was creating Favourites from within the tab and setting them to the quick launch style buttons on the tab itself.

None of them had thumbnails, always had the 'empty' globe icon.

I could press them, and off the browser went to the website, all works fine, just no thumbnail on the Internet tab.

I've been mostly using Skyfire as my default browser.

I've now discovered that to get around this, you need to browse to the website in question (in Opera, didn't try in IE), then add it as a favourite, then add the quick launch shortcut.

It may sound simple, but it seems a bit strange to be able to set up favourites outside of the browser (as the favourites work independent of a browser) but that the thumbnails aren't created.

Hope this helps someone

thanks for this post
