Forum URL: bakugan-generation.proboards.comThe favicon I'm using used to be working before, but now it doesn't show up anymore? Any help is appreciated, thank you. To let you know, here's my Forum Wrapper: <!DOCTYPE HTML>
$[tag.html.open]
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9555/orkb.png" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>$[title] | $[forum.name]</title>
$[head]
</head>And here's my Favicon Link: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9555/orkb.png" />

Same here, on 3 different boards. I thought it was something with the Favicon host I'm using (IconJ), but even after uploading the ICO file to my own website and changing the link in the Forum Wrapper, it is still not displaying...so I don't think it's the host.
Thanks!

Hey RPGamer - as of yesterday, we implemented an easier way to change your forum's favicon by uploading it to the forum itself.  Just remove the code from your Forum Wrapper and use the Favicon Uploader in Admin > Settings > Forum Settings instead. I don't know if we intended for pre-existing favicons that admins embedded in the Forum Wrapper to disappear, though, so I'll inquire with our developers tomorrow morning about that and post back with details. |

Thanks, much easier than having to get the icon hosted somewhere.

David Clark, I would appreciate it if you do check if you meant for our embedded favicons to disappear. After inserting it on over 60 themes, it really would be troublesome to have to remove the link and do it the new way.

Thanks. |

I'll be waiting patiently too, David Clark since I have 70+ themes. *sigh* It took me forever to figure out how to do it and now it's gone!  After reading this thread, I clicked on the link for my forum and watched as it opened. It appears that my favicon tried to load but it reverted back to PB.  |

Thank you, David Clark. I have every confidence in the great PB team to allow embedded links to show again. Hopefully, it was an unintended glitch. I think the change is great for those just starting out, but not so much for those of us who have done it the old way on so many themes. |

Forever Sunshine, it's nice to see someone else with as many themes as our board. I don't know if I do it more for me ~ or the forum ~ I bore easily and like change. |

I have a feeling that the favicon uploader just automatically injects the HTML after the <head> content found in your forum wrapper, overwriting any pre-existing embedded favicons. Ideally you'd be able to select whether or not to use the uploader, but our devs are the only ones capable of realistically assessing the situation |

Lol, I'd like to "like" that post, David Clark, but these words make me shiver ~ overwriting any pre-existing embedded favicons.  |

Can we overwrite the overwrite?  |

Like I said, our devs have to have the final say for forums who have a unique favicon for each one of their themes. For those who have one favicon for all themes, though, you can just use the favicon uploader to upload a copy of your icon and you should be good. It shouldn't be necessary to remove the code from your forum wrapper. The uploader takes effect across all themes. |

I have a few members who like to change things up as much as I do. Same here, Forever Sunshine. Definitely some boredom involved, but creating them is also addictive. And yes, I have members who enjoy changing as much as I do. But then I have some that want it plain and simple. So I just look at it as catering to everyone. |
