Where am I supposed to upload it? I just connected to FTP and dragged and dropped it in. Do I need to put it in the same folder as the add-ons go?

 

[Paul B]

No.

In the root.

As I said on your other thread, you should consider employing someone to help you and teach you the basics.

I see your favicon.

I'm seeing a sword icon if that's the new icon you uploaded.

Yes its a diamond sword, but when I go to the website I still don't see it, but i see it in the wwww.brokenarrowservers.com/favicon.ico link

Give it some time to display, it will display. I recently changed to a new favicon and it took a day or so to show.

edit: Still waiting for the new favicon to show in chrome (showed an hour or 2 later in firefox) so it'll take a little time.

Okay. This is what I did just now. visit your favicon URL and then on that page do a CTRL +f5 till it displays (I did this a couple of times) and it displayed in chrome.

It's displaying fine for me upon initial load of your site in Chrome on my Mac.
