Please, read the wikipedia article. It explains the standards, and gives useful tips about device support.

The standard is a 32x32 picture, and many browsers will display it reduced. So, quality is not the important point, having an easily recognizable icon (even when really small) is the main point.
Hi,

I have placed favicon.ico in the root folder ( public_html). The favicon shows when I put the corresponding link(http://forums.georgeprep.com/favicon.ico) in the browser directly. But it doesn't show in the tabs when I just go for http://forums.georgeprep.com/.

I have tried clearing the cached images in the browser, restarting the browser etc. the favicon is not showing up yet.

Tried adding (<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://forums.georgeprep.com/images/favicon.png">) in the first line of the header of the theme template and uploaded a png in the folder. Again the link (http://forums.georgeprep.com/images/favicon.png) is showing the image. But favicon is not showing up after multiple refrehes.

Any idea what could be wrong. Help highly appreciated. :-)


Fortunately solved the problem. I replaced the favicon.ico file of 32*32px to 16*16px and it started showing up. :-)
