I was trying to change my favicon and seem to have gotten rid of the old one and now can't get the new one loaded. Following the directions found here... Favicon Generator
Scroll down to "How to use a favicon in your site" ... I put the following code... Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pc101.com/forum/images/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" http://www.pc101.com/forum/images/favicon.ico" /> under the section of my forumhome template but it doesn't seem to be working. I thought this was how I did it before but it doesn't appear to be the case. So... where did I go wrong? :waiting2:
Thanks!

Well, I stuck this... Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pc101.com/forum/images/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" http://www.pc101.com/forum/images/favicon.ico" /> in the header template, right at the top, before anything else. It still doesn't appear to be working.

The original means of defining a favicon was by placing a file called favicon.ico in the root directory of a webserver. This would then automatically be used in Internet Explorer's favorites (bookmarks) display. Later, however, a more flexible system was created, using HTML to indicate the location of an icon for any given page. This is achieved using the link element like: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> in the <head> section of the document. In this way, any appropriately sized (16×16 pixels or larger) image can be used, and although many still use the .ico format, other browsers now also support the GIF and PNG image formats.
For optimal browser support, the following rules should be obeyed:
- Include both element types:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" /> - The link elements must be inside the head element (between <head> and </head>) in the HTML.
- For XHTML, the link element must be empty (terminated by /> )
- The href can, but need not, point to the location /favicon.ico. It could equally well point anywhere else on your site that is convenient.
- The image can be an ICO, PNG or GIF.
- The .ico file format will be read correctly by most browsers.
Note: A file called favicon.ico and located in the document root directory will also be found by some browsers which do not process the link elements, even if it is not linked from anywhere on your site. | I am sure you still have to upload to your root directory..

What browser are you using, because mine would show up in FF but not IE....

Okay, I just realized something! It's showing up for the forum... PC101 - Free Tech Help for Windows XP, Vista, 2000, 98 and more!
but not the homepage!
So, it has to be something to do with VBAdvanced. Any suggestions??
Thanks!
