So I actually went to the site to see what was going on and was confronted by an obnoxiously large background image that 95% of which can't be seen anyway.

But I don't see any code, which means we're back to putting favicon.ico on the site in the same folder where index.php and SSI.php are (and agreement.txt)

can you show me a picture of this because I've tried my site on 3 different browsers and it all comes up fine :/

If you put the .ico file in the forum root (where agreement.txt is), browsers should pick it up without any code.  I use that code in index.template.php if I have theme specific favicons, so that each theme shows a matching favicon.



just moved it where agreement.txt is and still no favicon, Im not joking like I used to have a different site the exact same 2 years ago and changing the favicon was the least of my problems. I figured it out by myself pretty quick I donno whats going on now

can one of you possibly connect with me on TeamViewer and check it out?

What is the url to the favicon file?

Which now exists and now works. It just might take time to show up.

As for the background picture, do you *really* need a 1.2MB picture in the background? I run a narrowish screen (about 1000px wide) and I don't even see the sides of the image lurking outside the forum frame.

1.2MB for an image is ridiculously oversized and for anyone going to your site it's going to take time to download and slow everything down.

wow....   no image used for a website should be larger than a few hundred KB at most....
