Favicons driving me crazy....

[forum4]

I've used these in the header (just tried the one above)

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.forum4women.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut" href="http://www.forum4women.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.forum4women.com/favicon.ico">

also tried saving it as vbfav
I keep clearing out my cache

Try it without the link rels

I don't have photoshop. It works in FF.

with no link rels? You mean start with <"shortcut icon"

Well, on my desktop, it shows it as an icon file, but then when i load it through cpanel, and hit properties, it shows as a jpeg file.

It should show up as an Icon file...that's probably why its not working.

OK, I'll try another converter.

Try replacing

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.forum4women.com/favicon.ico">

with

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

OKAY.. your problem is, as said earlier, with the format of your ico file.

Via FF, right click on properties of the above image, it shows as Type: JPEG Image whereas it should be Type: X-ICON Image

Convert it, not rename!

OMG....that was it. I used I think it was favicongenerator.com. They said it was an icon file and it had .ico and desktop even said it was an icon file. UGH. However, after you mentioned it might not be an ico file, I checked it's properties in the browser which said jpeg.

I should bill that generator site for our time

Thanks so much for your help.
