This is my first thread on vBulletin.org .... Well i really dont know where to Post this thread. Admin can Move or Remove this thread as per there will.

Installation 1 : Installing "favicon.ico"

Step 1 : Make ur own favicon.ico, you need to have a software to convert your .jpg, .jpeg or .gif image to .ico. If u dont have, use this link http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/.

Step 2 : After making your own "favicon.ico" upload it to the root directory of your forum. It must show your own favicon icon in your site's title.

Step 3 : If it doesnot appear,

Paste this line into your header OR headinclude Template
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
And your are done with it...


Installation 2 : Installing "favicon.gif"

Step 1 : Make ur own favicon.gif using this link http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/.

Step 2 : After making your own "favicon.gif" upload it on your server ( Any path u want ).

Step 3 : Edit templete header OR headinclude-template :

Paste on top :
Code:
<link rel="icon" href="http://your-site's-path/favicon.gif" type="image/gif" >

Also is not working for me in IE, help!!

And I have to put the complete URL to works and appears in my forum, example:

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

--------------- Added [DATE]1205535548[/DATE] at [TIME]1205535548[/TIME] ---------------

I did a fix and now is working also in IE.

First I rename the icon file, instead of favicon.ico for example vbulletin.ico or whatever and then I upload the icon in the images folder of my forum and in the headinclude template i Put this code in the top.

Code:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/forum/images/XXXXX.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT"      HREF="/forum/images/XXXXXX.ico" type="image/x-icon">
And wow it works!!

I hope this help somebody ok.

Okay, I did this and it didn't work. Conversely, when I view the forum index, and look at the source (on Firefox: View > Page Source), I see this;
HTML Code:
<link rel=?shortcut icon? href=?http://www.christcenteredforums.com.com/forum/favicon.ico? mce_href=?http://www.christcenteredforums.com/forum/favicon.ico?/>

The way I got mine to work with vBadvanced was to put one favicon.ico in my main website root directory and another in the forum root directory then add code to header.

Also if you change your favicon with a new image you can clear your browser cache so that it will display the new favicon.

I added this to my forum today. It works sometimes. I have cleared the cache but the icon only appears in the URL window after I click Reload. I am using Safari 3.1.1.

Could it be that I have entered the code on the wrong place?
