Forumer

Hello,

You may be wondering what is a favicon? A favicon is just web slang for "favourites icon", this is displayed next to the sites name, bookmark list, in a tab or in the URL navigation bar. This depends on many factors like your browser version. Favicons do not show up in Internet Explorer 6, so I recommend you install Mozilla Firefox for a faster, more secured way of browsing.



To make a favicon, your favicon must be in .ico format, otherwise it will not work. *Only tested with subSilver


1. Firstly, you need to create an image in a graphics editor like Adobe Photoshop, Paint.net or even Paint (included in all standard Windows installations). If you cannot make a favicon, then you may request one here, but make sure you follow the guidelines here. The size is very small to create something, so you keep detail to a minimum.

2. You should then save your image in a .png, .gif or .jpg format.

3. Visit this website, browse for your image and press 'Create Icon'.

4. Upload your .ico file to here. (I am not affiliated with them in anyway)



5. Copy the URL to your uploaded .ico file (next to 'Direct Link')

6. Now go to your ACP > General Admin > Configuration > Site description and paste
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="URL" />

Replacing URL with your .ico URL you copied earlier. 

7. Hit submit and you are all done.

You should now have a favicon up and running with your Forumer Forum!
