Icon Help!

How do you install this icons??

 

[fantanoice]

What software are you using? Ones like Zetaboards allow you to just upload the picture.

Others require you to put in an HTML code. Here it is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="ICON URL HERE" type="image/ico">

Hope that helps. 🙂

For phpBB3, you can just upload the image (favicon.ico) to your forum's root directory and it will pick it up automatically :great:

Wherever you put HTML code. It should work anywhere, but I'd put it in the header just to be safe.

Or take Nathan's option. 😛

Youhave to name the icon "favicon" no quotes. It will take anything up to two weeks depending on your traffic for it to appear, mine took about ten days, max size (I think) is 16 x 16 pixels
