Hi I uploaded a favicon and moved it to my root folder. (which I assume is the public html folder on cpanel)
I named my favicon attemptfavicon.ico
When I type
http://utubepoop.com/attemptfavicon.ico in the safari address bar I can see my tiny logo. (it looks like a brown dot it is supposed to be a poop logo)
But when I simply type
http://utubepoop.com/ in the safari address bar it won't show up. It has been several hours.
What do I do?
Thx
Browsers won't pick it up automatically unless it's called favicon.ico - they don't know to look for a file called attemptfavicon.ico unless you add a HTML tag for it, but it's not necessary, if it's just called favicon.ico it will get picked up.

you can try adding below code in
headerinclude template of your forum's active themes
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />

I went to templates and then default templates and then i got this page (see below) then there were different headertabs. which do i click? see below.
http://utubepoop.com/
^ headerinclude template is listed in
ungrouped templates
find code similar to below
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={$charset}" />
add suggested code below it in a new line) & save the template
you may have to hard refresh your browser (eg. press CTRL + F5) a couple of times to see favicon
It's showing for me in Chrome - Chrome is known for caching things heavily.
