Adding A Favicon To Your Forums Board

Favicon was introduced with Internet Explorer 5/6 by Microsoft©. You can use this new feature to display your logo or some other small graphic on your visitor's Favorites menu when they bookmark your site. In addition to your favicon, your Website title with a link to your site will also show in the URL box of your browser.

two things to keep in mind:
1. Your image is has to be 16 x 16 pix.
2. It has to be an Icon file (a .ico file)
3. Not all browsers support this feature!

To add one to your Forumer.com Forum board you have to
1. upload the Icon file to an image host.
2. link it to your forums board in the HTML Templates section.
Here's how :
Admin CP ->Skins & Templates ->HTML Templates -> Manage HTML ->Global HTML Elements ->function css_inline ->
Add the following code to the top of the existing code in that template. MAKE SURE you only ADD it to the top of the existing code and not replace the existing code.( A good idea here to make a backup of your existing template code before you do any changes)

Quote:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http:/direct url of your image.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Now Click the  'Update Templates' Button.
