I put: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> in the index template and still no favicon shows up. Can someone tell me how to do it?

I'm new and would really appreciate it!

thanks.
Put that in the headerinclude template. Also, I think this code is more widely used. Smile

<link rel="icon"  href="http://forumhour.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
I can't find the headerInclude template. This is what the header template shows when you click on it.
header_welcomeblock_guest Options
header_welcomeblock_member Options
header_welcomeblock_member_admin Options
header_welcomeblock_member_moderator
Headerinclude is located in ungrouped templates.
Found it. I put: <link rel="icon" href="http://forumhour.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
at the top of everything. Still doesn't work.

sorry to be a pain.

LOL... OOPS!... let me put the right url in there...

change the url and it still doesn't work. I'm using FF and I did a CRTL F5 (several times) and it still won't show up???

Ok, I've read where it might take several hours to show up because of your server. So I'll wait for a while.

thanks for the help
LOL. What's your URL? I'll check it out, it's usually a browser cache issue.
I had to leave for a while and I just got back on the computer and NOW it shows up! I used a variation of the link that you gave me that was similar, but who knows, yours might have worked too.

Thanks so much for your help and patience. I'm going to save that link somewhere.
