No support by the author.

(not sure which 'prefix' to use here)
I hadn't seen this anywhere when I did a search, so here goes...:

Add a unique Shortcut Icon (related to your forum content) in the browser address bar in front of the 'http://...." CNN has it, NOAA has it,IMDB has it.... lots of folks have it... why not YOUR forum!

just add this code below/after the </title> tag in the templates (ie FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, GENERIC SHELL, search_forums, search_results....etc)
Code:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://*****.***/*****/imagename.gif" />
just insert the path (in red above) to the image you want to use.

examples below:

exactly
The only work around for it I found was changing the templates by adding the code in the first post. Again it still doesn't work for IE, but does for Mozilla and FF

[QUOTE=xtremeoff-road]Are you sure about that?

I just placed my favicon in my forum's root and it does not do anything???[/QUOTE]

clear your history files, temp internet files, cookies, re-bookmark your page, lol. if none of those don't work, you didn't do it right.

All you need to do is overwrite the current Favicon.ico

If it doesn't work, just clear your cache and try again. Worked for me after I did that on my boards.

OFFICIALLY SPEAKING:
FAVICON

HTML Tag in HEAD Section:
To link your html or xhtml file to a favicon, there are some different approaches:

Standard: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
W3C Standard "best practised": <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
DepreciatedA.1:<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" />A.3)
So it is best practise to use just 2 tags: (for "official" compliance)

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>

for some custom templates, just replacing the default favicon doesn't do it and you gotta add the code to templates, like the header or forumhome etc.

It needs to be added to the Header Template in order to appear on all pages with FF. Just include the code at the very top
