how to post an avatar

10 Oct 2009, 14:03

what do I need to do to get an avatar to appear next to my website title on the browser tab as well as when someone saves my website in their favorites?

thanks in advance...

I know IE will look in the root of your sever for the favicon.ico but I am not sure about other browsers so put this code in the head section of your html page(or equivalent)
Code 
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/name_of_icon.ico">
If you google favicon it will bring up many free favicon generators.
Once you have the favicon that you wish to use upload it to your website/server to the same place your main index page is.

Where do I do this at?

I uploaded the favicon to my root folder and it is appearing in IE (as you said), but not Firefox.

If it's the latest firefox you use then that doesn't count because there is an issue with the favicons. :P
Have a look on your server for*/imagevue/templates
Look for index.gallery.phtml and the add the code I put in my first post in the head section IE: between <head> and </head>

Can I have the link to your site?

*edit*

Scrub that, I saw it in your other post. The favicon is workin in firefox 3.0.14 I had the latest firefox installed but removed it due to lots of different little issues. It also works in Opera

Browsers probe for favicon on a first visit to site, you need to clear history, not cache.
