Hello how can I change the url icon of my forum? Thanks!

If you upload an image called favicon.ico to your forum root most browsers should pick it up. make a .ico image at www.favicon.co.uk

Matt what will I name on the .ico image? anything?

As I said in my post, call it favicon.ico, and to generate the .ico image, use the link I posted before...

did not work Matt..

Is there any other way?

Keep in mind that it sometimes takes some time to appear. This is about cookie settings. Either wait or clear cookies for your forum.

About saving the image. It has to be 16x16 pixels to work. In order to save a file in .ico format, name it favicon.ico in the name bar. It will show as an unknown file on your pc, but if you upload, it will work.

Keep in mind, it needs to be called favicon.ico, otherwise your browser won't pick it up.

Master that's exactly what I did, how can I clear the cookies? sorry I'm new to this.

Put this in your headerinclude template:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Hi Matt thank you very much.!

hmm where exactly ton this?

<div id="container">
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="header">
<div class="logo"><a href="http://www.sample.com/"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
</div>
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
<navigation>
<br />



sorry I'm not good in coding

<div id="container">
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="header">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> 
<div class="logo"><a href="http://www.sample.com/"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
</div>
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
<navigation>
<br />

Try that. I think it should work.
