Soon as they find out that's what you're using it for-boom, no more hostey. Anyone else got an idea? --Edit-- http://www.ripway.com supports it. They've got a 24-hour usage limit, but it's more than enough for just a 1kb favicon. And if it DOES go down (And I doubt it), it'll just show up as the blue e again til you're back up. Now..if I can get it to work, board-wise..

Favicons are those tiny pictures that appear in your Favorites Menu in place of the boring blue-grey "e" that you normally see beside your bookmarks if you use Internet Explorer. .Ico files are also the pictures you see on your desktop, taskbar and anytime you browse through your computer files. You can create your own 16 x 16 icon file (and it must be a 16 x 16 .ico file, no other file type/size will work) or you can use one you find off the net. Visit this site for some pretty good instructions on how to make your own icons. Associate the icon with your board by uploading your icon to an image server and adding the below shown line of HTML code in the Javascript section of your wrapper. This line of code includes a link tag that specifies the location and name of the favicon file. Code: `<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="URL of Your Favicon File.ico" />` To see how your favicon looks, open Internet Explorer, go online and add your site to your Favorites list. If your Favicon doesn't appear immediately, it should do so if you close and reopen IE. If it's still not there, go to Organize Favorites. Remove all existing links to your pages. Then add them again. That should do it! Anytime someone bookmarks your board, this tiny icon will appear on their Favorites Menu. <_< or in firefox or older mozilla browser you can use png or jpg/gif instand of .ico. I use a favicon with a size on 32x32 and in png format and its work fine for me... Quote: If I wanted to add a favicon to my website [not my forum] where would I put the code in the html?

I tried putting the code there but it didn't work. Never mind. Thanks again anyway. I don't need to add the code to every page of my site do I? Helen

Unregistered	I am using Mozilla, and I uploaded a PNG file and it worked, but I'm sure it does, you should use ICO files on other boards JIC. H

Should it be SHORTCUT ICON or the name of the icon? I have put the right URL for my image but i still just get the I in a circle that everyone else mentioned. I see some people have managed to get it to work, so what did they do that i didn't??
