What is the best way to add a favicon «site icon»?

Post by AbuHossam »

I hope this is the right place for my question.
I want to add a favicon to my forum so that users can find my site easier from tabs of the browser.

But I mean: how to add it to the forum; Such as where to upload the file + where to add the code...etc

Just upload your image and you will get a how to for the favicons.

Normally, you don't have to use that code, but if you want place it in the overall_header.html from your style(s).

I have used an animated favicon for years with code.

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.gif" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
For those browsers that show animated favicons... not all do.
Image . -.. / .... ..- -- .--. .... .-. . -.--
