Favicon

[Solozzo]

How can i show the favicon on my forum? I send the favicon.png file to forum root directory with ftp but nothing happend. Also added a code in the PAGE_CONTAINER template;

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.png">

Icon showed up but i think there will be another way without adding a code.

Noob question i know but i wish to learn, thanks for advice.

Change the file extension to .ico and it should change it.

Yep. Convert the file format to "ico" (icon) and place it in your base web directory.
Web browsers will automatically pick it up, without any template edits.

Thanks for the information.

Jake suggests adding a piece of code to the PAGE_CONTAINER template.
