The Little Guy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 create a 16x16 file and save it as this exact name: "favicon.ico" place it in the root folder of your site. it wont show for a while... and if you don't want to wait, just go to http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico then it should have updated.

Lamez Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mysite.com/graphics/icons/mypage.ico"> Source: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/favicon.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltZ Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Or you could try this <link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.ico" /> That way you won't have to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 <link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.ico" /> If it's .ico, the mimetype shouldn't be image/gif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltZ Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It still works especially if the original type of the image was gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It still works especially if the original type of the image was gif Just because it works doesn't mean it's correct. The ico file has no information about whether it was "originally" a GIF file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltZ Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 To me, if it validates and it works, im puttin it on my site (if i want to of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 To me, if it validates and it works, im puttin it on my site (if i want to of course) Did you mean that in just this situation? If not: Then I would see your site and laugh at it. Sites like that remind me of local television commercials where everyone seems a little just not right.

waynew Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Man, I was brought straight to your forum install script as soon as I tried to go your homepage. Also, nav on forum seems broken in IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltZ Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I no it is, i did that on purpose because the only thing i am using the site for is my forum software development. That way i dont have tomanually type in that stuff to get to the install page lol. I have to create the SQL for the forums now. Omg not looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I don't believe you have to use .ico with newer browsers. I think you can link to any gif or png. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
