How does one edit the icon image that appears next to the site name when it's bookmarked. For example the icon that appears next to a bookmarked page for proboards forums is the default blue pb icon. I was just curious on how to change that. ALSO for some reason the bookmarked home page of my forum says this " Home | Forum " rather then saying what the actual forum is called. I know you can change it manually after adding it xP *derp* but I was wondering why it does just say 'forum' rather then the actual title. I didn't have this problem on v4 and I'm unsure of where I'm missing the place to edit. genevo.proboards.com/

2. It does not show the name, because the home would be in store for the homepage. The forum is just saying the forums are there. The name of the site is the site as a whole, and most people use the "home" for a home page. You never had this issue on v4, because you could never create navigation buttons. (Without coding) And now, you can. Did you want to remove it? Or re-name it? To edit it: Admin >> Settings >> Forum Settings >> Navigation Tab >> should all be there.

I believe you're referring to what's known as the favicon. The official word from the W3CThe easiest way to accomplish this is to upload an image you want to use (either to ProBoards or elsewhere), then add in the following line of HTML to your Forum Wrapper template in the <head> section: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/myicon.png"> Obviously you would replace the href section with the URL to the image you want to use. If you don't use a .png file, you'd also need to change the associated type, a handy list can be found here.

@ Eli, Ah I realized it was my fault for not updating my bookmark after I changed the forum name ^^" So that was my fault lul.
@ Tim, I tried using the code you left me, and I it work for a split second at one point but then it went back to the pb icon in a blink. I'm not using images of my own just to test it out, I'm wondering if that's the problem?

Elaina, what browser are you using? My favicon shows up in both IE and FF, but for some reason, it won't show up in Chrome no matter what I do.

Where did you put the html tag for the image? Mine is in layout templates, directly above </header> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.iconj.com etc." type="image/x-icon" /> Where is your image hosted? I've always had good luck with www.iconj.com/

No, no. It will work. If you have a working hosting link and it's inserted in the right area, it will work.
It's been so long since I added mine that it's hard to remember, but I believe it took at least 24 hours for it to over-write the PB icon.
I'm in FF and I can see the spinning rotation when it's trying to read the favicon. So that's a good sign. When it finally stops the PB appears, but I believe that will change shortly.
And remember to empty your cache, so your computer isn't picking up the old code.
Have patience.

Lol ~ I just checked in IE ~ and although all of my bookmarks have our TSE favicon on it ~ I just went to my board without accessing my bookmarks and it's no longer showing in IE! I don't know if PB has changed something in one of their pushes, but mine isn't there any longer in IE, but it is still showing in FF.

Some browsers require a .ICO file. You could try that. There are favicon generators out there that can help you with that.

Hi, Tim. My file is an ico and is still showing on exact replicas of my forum. It's just not showing in the forum it should be ~ my "real" forum. It showed in v4 and it showed up until a few days ago ~ and the two "test" boards are still showing the favicon in IE. It's a mystery.

Elaina - I looked at your template, you put the link tag in the body section, not the head section. Make sure it's between the <head> and </head> tags. ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥ - It's probably just due to it being Friday and my brain being fried from being at ForumCon this week, but can you clarify which board in which browser isn't working for you?
