Its works!!
I put a little pic of Evie there to test it out :
It shows in 'Favourites' too but not on the desktop - its the old red 'sun' still.
Is that something that will change overtime or is there something I need to do? I did tick the box to create an icon for there.  |

If you created a shortcut to the forum on your Desktop, you could probably delete it then recreate it and the new favicon.ico file would be displayed...

Nr, you lost me. First step -

Fishead, do this. I created a MOD that you can use to add the favicon.ico that you create to your forum. Download the attached Favicon2Header.zip file, extract it maintaining the directory structure, store your favicon.ico file to the Favicon2Header folder, then upload the entire Favicon2Header folder and contents to your phpBB forum admin/mods folder. Then you can install it using EM. This will be a good way for you to get to know how EM works too...
|
1. store your favicon.ico file to the Favicon2Header folder
Do I creat this folder? If not where can it be found? I've never seen it. I went into ftp and looked under phpbb and nothing there by that name. |

I found that folder and loaded it ok.
Then I went in my forum and opened the mod section. I have a problem here, it says my file path through ftp isn't right. Here is what I see for error:
<< Critical Error:
Function Trace: main[1]->modio_prep[2]
FTP ERROR: login failed >>
--------------------
I added a password, but then I get error about ftp file path & no matter what file path I give it it rejects it. Here is what I get in there:
<< Your EasyMOD settings have been updated successfully. (EM password updated)
Testing FTP access...
FTP ERROR: login failed
The FTP Server was connected to, but the username and password were rejected. The following is recommended:
Did you correctly type the username and password? Make sure your CAPS LOCK key is off and try again.
If you are 100% certain your user/pass is correct, then perhaps you are not connecting to the correct host or on the correct port. Try changing your FTP Server entry from localhost to the actual ftp host name and your FTP Port entry from 21 to the actual ftp port. >>
---------------------------------------------
Here is the path I'm using now, I tried others w no luck:
<< FTP path to phpBB2 - /fisheadcartoons.com/phpBB2 - (ex: public_html/phpBB2) >>
--------------------------
Nr, This was already in place, I didn't change it without changing back to it. |

Fishead, this is complaining about the FTP Login information, not your path to the MOD. So go into EM Settings in your ACP MOD Center and enter your correct FTP Server username and password. Then press the Update Settings button at the bottom of the page...

My favicon doesn't always appear and I read somewhere it can be a bug in IE, but I'm wondering why it happens to mine and not any of the other sites I visit?
When it is there its there for any of the pages of the site, but its just not there very often  |

Same for our's, Karen. Right now the only browser that is showing our fav icon is Firefox. Maybe Opera, not sure what it's showing.
SS for Netscape, Firefox, IE and Opera
