Displaying my own favicon.ico?

[Simon Lloyd]

Hi all,
I have created my own Favicon.ico and uploaded it to my forum root folder, i am under the impression that i need this in my headinclude

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/favicon.ico" mce_href="http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/favicon.ico"/>

or should it be this

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

or nothing atall?

The code should already be in the templates by default. If you're not seeing it in IE, that's because it doesn't consistently handle it (moreso in older versions). It should show eventually, more likely after you add it to your favourites.

So i can get rid of both of those options?

Donn't mess with the heading code (or anything else for that matter) leave it as is, install in your forum root and thats it. If you cann't see it clear browser etc, just doing it by 'disk cleanup' worked for me

Lol, my header code would make your hair curl!, anyway i deleted the link code and the favicon still shows up fine

Thanks!

I haven't got much so should be ok lol

slightly offtopic I know, but is there any chance you could PM me the mods you've used for the guest visitors messages, (particuarly the one with the irritating box that moves up and down) please?

PM sent N.B you can also have a hide button with it so it's not so irritating, i have this for my members!
