Anyone know why my forum favicon is not showing up whenever I am using IE? Works perfect on chrome and firefox.

I upload a favicon.ico file to the root of your website and it shows up on chrome/firefox. So I then tried the favicon plugin and I got the same result, it shows up everywhere but IE.

My forum URL: http://carfanaticsforum.com/index.php

This is what shows up on IE:

How it looks on chrome:

Clear your IE cache and add this line to your header or footer template:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/favicon.png">

Change the icon image link to your favicon image path. You can place your favicon anywhere; just make sure using the correct path in the code.

If it is showing in FF and chrome and might just take a while for IE. Mine did.

change .jpg to .png

I doubt it takes 9 months to show up.

lol that is a while. I used a simple converter for my favicon

http://www.favicon.co.uk/

and then I just put that file, favicon.ico, in my site root.

Thats it.

PS Your current favicon is not showing on Opera either.
