Favicon problem

W3BSTER · January 21, 2011, 02:46:54 PM

Hi, my problem is when i try to put a favicon in my smf forum, in my index.template , i add this after ?> :

<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="the link" >
</head>
</html>

Well, the favicon if it appears on my site, but the problem is that the font size increases, and I do not know why, but when I remove the favicon, the font size back to normal

anyone know what is the problem?

You shouldn't need to do anything but put a favicon.ico file in the root of your SMF install.

SMF 2.0 RC4 comes with native favicon support.

Simply upload a favicon.ico to your root directory and you're all set

But, it may take a while for it to show up. Just an FYI.

I put the favicon.ico in the root folder, but nothing happened, when i put the code it works, but the problem is with the font size, it increases.

Because the code is probably incorrect.

SMF 2.0 RC4 has build-in favicon.ico support. You should not have to do anything besides putting it in the forum's directory.
