small logo in tab of my browser

once upon a time i had the logo display in the left corner of my browser tabs, can anyone tell me how to do that again?

It's from a favicon.ico file that should be in your root directory. Do you have one?

I changed the .ico file to one that I made; however, I still get the vbulletin symbol at the top.
Any ideas?

Wait for your browser to realize the icon is changed. It might be a few years.

LOL.

Sadly, browsers(and OS's) have a deathgrip on these files.

You can have it change instantly.

1) Upload the icon as a file named something other than favicon.ico. (IE: myicon.ico)

2) Go to ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager

3) For the style you're using use the 'Style Variable Editor'.
Once the list comes up type ico in the search box in the upper left corner.

4) Under ImagePaths, select and change favicon to your newly named icon.

Once saved, the icon should instantly change in your browser the next time you view a page in your forum.
