Here is a useful explanation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....hortcutIcon.asp The key seems to be 16x16 I used http://www.fileden.com/]fileden.com as host server.

Just a simple 100x100 .gif icon I found on google images. Then I went to this site (which was absolutely fantastic) and uploaded it there. It turns the .gif into .ico. There's then the option to download it, which I did. It's a zip file so you need a program like WinRAR to unzip it. Once I unzipped the .ico file I saved it to My Documents. Then I went over to my website at Bravehost and uploaded it. Simple. Voila. I have a URL. Then I copied this Quote: <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://yourhostname/favicon.ico"/> into Administration CP > Skinning & Styles > Board Wrappers > Javascript. It's simple, guys. And there you have it. The dumbass's guide to favicons. It took a few minutes to show up in IE. Thanks a bunch for this code, btw. I've been using it for a while.

For me the best way was to put it in the Header are right on top of the <% BOARD HEADER%> section. Trust me it is the best place to put it if you dont want the circle with the I in it. Also if I am wrong sorry guys, but it worked on my forum.
