How do you get a logo in the address bar?

Did you rename your icon to 'recmgmflag.ico' and make sure you uploaded it to /home_htm_files/bitmaps/ ??

**Ron Duke** · 10 September 2009, 04:35 AM

I'll double check, but yes, I renamed it so there were no upper case letters and used Fire fox FTP server to make sure the file was copied over to the correct directory. Give me a minute and I'll double check...

Can you give me the full URL to your .ico please

If it's at your BuyDezignz site, something like: http://buydezignz.com/home_htm_files/bitmaps/recmgmflag.ico

**Ron Duke** · 10 September 2009, 04:46 AM

It would be:
http://recapitalmgm.com/index_htm_files/recmgmflag.ico

**steve.ledger** · 10 September 2009, 05:03 AM

Then Ron it should be:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/index_htm_files/recmgmflag.ico" />

**Ron Duke** · 10 September 2009, 05:05 AM

Ok, so to be clear, I'm going to put the code you just wrote into the placeholder in my file and publish it again.

**Ron Duke** · 10 September 2009, 05:11 AM

You know what Steve, it doesn't matter anymore, I accidentally deleted my Xara file and had run CCleaner to empty my Recycle Bin. So it's lost. I'll have to grab and old, old version from my back ups.

Thanks for your help, buddy. Sorry to waste your time.

I was working on another web site to try this and I noticed that Egg's code differs from yours Steve. Why is that?

**steve.ledger** · 10 September 2009, 08:15 PM

Only Egg could answer that Ron.

I'll give you a clue.
Go to the Talkgraphics home page www.talkgraphics.com

I know you use FireFox, so press Ctrl+U

This will show you the HTML source used by vBulletin.

Under the head section & under the meta lines you will see what vbulletin uses for the tg favicon.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

TG's favicon.ico is in the root folder (yours is in the /index_html_files/ folder) and your icon has another name (recmgmflag.ico)

Other than this, it is a 100% working in all browsers example which you can follow and guarantee success.
But you must follow all the rules and not make any mistake.

Remember Internet Explorer cannot use any other bitmap format than .ico
