Solved Favicon Not Working on IE?

Post by Hardcore Gamer on September 30th 2012, 1:52 am

Does anyone know why the favicon for my forum is set to default on IE? It works fine on Firefox and Chrome. How would I get it to work on IE?

IE only supports Favicon ICO format. Other graphic formats such as PNG, GIF or JPG are not displayed in IE. IE could never and will not be able to. Look at Google.

This. I thought so.

How would I upload and use a ICO favicon for my forum?

I've been to many now, and when I upload the icon they give me this HTML code, or something. No direct links. Where am I supposed to put this code?

Code:
http://<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.iconj.com/ico/0/p/0pf9fhm

That's it right there.

That? Because when I use that on my forum, it replaces my icon with the logo for that website where I got the direct link from.

After I upload it, there are so many codes to get the image. No direct link. What one do I use?
