Re: How to change URL icon


take the image you want and upload it to your root directory as favicon.ico

This site is great to help make one.

Re: How to change URL icon


This was my next question. Thanks for providing the link. I now have favicon, but is it better to have a graphic or the initials of your forum?

Re: How to change URL icon


Personally, I use part of my site's logo as a favicon. On my blog, I use my initials. It depends on your taste but for recgonizablity I'd use a logo.

Re: How to change URL icon


The pixel amount is so small for a favi icon, it's hard to incorporate a good logo in the space, even with the pic to icon converter. But you're definitely right a logo as the favi icon works well in branding your site.

Re: How to change URL icon


To activate your favicon, you must modify the source of your web page. Add this line to the <head> section of your page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Go to admincp > styles and templates > edit > insert above at the end of your header.

Here's more info about it: Favicon - icon for webpage
