site title and favicon

10 Oct 2010, 02:44

Hello,

I would like to change the favicon and the site title showing in tab.

For the favicon, i found a post in this forum and did as described : create a favicon.ico through an online service and placed it at the root, replacing the one which was there. it worked perfect in mozilla but not in IE.

As to the site title : it says Image Vue right now. i have been looking in the settings section of the admin but cannot find where I can change this.

Thanks for your help

For your favicon, this sometimes gets stored in IE "history", so most likely it works for all other visitors. You can check it by trying from another computer with IE. If you changed the icon, there would be no way IE could load the old icon if it doesn't exist anymore!

Hello

There is already one favicon, it is at the root,and only one is needed.
What you need to di is eplace this favicon with yours, and that is all

Well, the only reason I can see is you did not place your fvicon at the root, or your favicon is damaged a way or another.

Destroy the favicon at the root, until you don't see the white page as a favicon in the browser.
Then you will be sure this is the good one, and you can place yours there

there is a new favicon I can see when surfing with firefox, : it is a red e.
If it not appearing immediatly using ie, don't worry, you just need to empty your temporary files folder.
I think you have it allright now

Nalivsh: Just replace the the file in the Imagevue root "favicon.ico" ... You can create favicon from these pages:
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ (upload and convert an image to *ico)
http://www.favicon.cc/ (Draw an icon directly)

Keep in mind, your browser may take some time before it updates the favicon ... It is stored in your history-cache.
