I have the same problem, I can't get any visibility on the favicon.ico. I have a custom developed template, is that it? Click my forum below to see.

Try using this in your headinclude template at the bottom of it:

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


If it's the animated favicon use this instead:

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

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/animated_favicon1.gif" type="image/gif" >

There really is no need for added code.... pace it in the root folder and your done.

I have had problems with mine showing before and once I added the code it worked for me. I have only used this when Ive had problems displaying it.

I have put our organizations favicon.ico in the web root and it still displays the vBulletin favicon even though I have removed it from the site. There must be conditional code somewhere that really wants the winged V.

I will try the code trick to see if that takes care of it.

That did not work either. My site is http://mb.nawcc.org. The favicon file is the one that is also used here http://nawcc.org

If anyone knows what is going on I would love to hear it.
