Favicon help

[bubblehead]

I did a search for favicons and I didn't find what I need.

I'm trying to figure out where to put the link (<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico"> ) for my favicon.

What I'm running into is the favicon comes up intially, but if I switch between tabs (using FireFox), the favicon goes back to the default browser favicon. Additionally, the favicon is not showing up in my websites tab at all.

Any ideas on what I need to do to correct his problem? TIA

the link should be above your </head>.

However, I dont know what to do to fix your problem, does it work on Internet Explorer?

My wife checked it out and she said t doesn't show up. I'll try out your suggestion.

No luck. I'm hoping one of the VB staff can chime in, their favicon works perfect and I'm thinking they would have the answer.

I've never gotten any favicons to work consistently with IE and any site.

What did you do to get them to work with FireFox?

[Steve Machol]

I didn't say I did. I hardly ever use FF and haven't even noticed the favicons.

My mistake. I thought you did because they work great for this site.

I solved my own problem with the Favicon placement. I had uploaded it to the public_html directory... it needs to go into the forums directory. No additional coding is needed.

I hope this helps others out, because it's been a pain for me.

cobro your kidding, why would you replied to a thread that is almost 3(three) years old. Most members have moved to vBulletin version 3.5.x or 3.6.x and I could see you reply to a newly post issue, but grabbing this from the dusty shelves is not need. At least it has been answered and if 3.0.x has headincludes template, then that would be the better place.
