Well done friend Smile Keep it up!

RE: MyFavouritesIcon - JordanMussi - 2012-12-10

It's wasn't entirely difficult to make this plugin. I made a fail version of this when I first started using MyBB - it is basically a way to practice making plugins.

RE: MyFavouritesIcon - Yaldaram - 2012-12-10

There is no need for a plugin either. Just upload a favicon.ico in your forum's root and it'll appear as favicon.

RE: MyFavouritesIcon - JordanMussi - 2012-12-10

I know that. As I already said this is just me getting to grips with MyBB's plugin system when I first started.

Is the same true for the Apple Touch icon?

If so, what should the jpeg be named?

Not exactly. See http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/touch-icons

tl;dr: You're probably safe just dropping all the icon files on the root of your forum. Unless either your forum or icons are in a sub-directory, in which case you must specifically declare a couple of <link> elements in the <head>. At least this is what HTML5 Boilerplate is currently doing.
