Just put the favicon.ico in your web root directory (usually htdocs). The browser will automatically pick it up.

Hi

Where do I put the link to favicon.ico please? And where is the best place to store the .ico file?

TIA

Tony

It is. I don't see it in jforum. And in my static web site I see an old stale version that I can't flush (I changed from a viking ship to an international "A" flag because the viking ship lost its colors...)

Are you using a "worker.properties" file to serve jforum through apache? (making assumptions here since you don't provide any specific info)

If not, it probably won't show for JForums under tomcat (since favicon is a web engine thing).

Does your new favicon.ico image show in the address bar of your browser when hitting your site? If not, the old one is probably still there.

If you are referring to a shortcut or favorite/bookmark, sometimes they don't update automatically .. you may have to recreate the link (i.e. make a new bookmark/favorite).

Of course, if you provided a link to your site, it would be easier to see what you're talking about .... :lol:
