Forum:Creating a Favicon

I'm the admin of the Change 123 Wiki, a wiki I'm helping to get started. Today I tried adding a favicon to the site. I followed the instructions on the Wikia Help article, used one of the favicon generators, and saved it as an .ico file. I used this file to replace the Favicon.ico file that already existed on the wiki. But it won't show up in the browser of any page on the wiki; however, it does show up in the address bar icon. (I have FireFox.) Am I doing something wrong?

 * That's what a favicon is, it shows up in the address bar and when you save it to favorites. Are you wanting to change your wiki's logo? -- 02:57, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * As Pcj seems to have figured out, you may be confused about what a Favicon is supposed to do. I will upload a screenshot that has an arrow pointing to the favicon in Help:Favicon, so it is more clear. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:02 PM PST 5 Jun 2010


 * I see it on all tabs and in the address bar, sometimes it takes a whole day to show up once you changed it.--Sxerks 03:09, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sometimes updating is not real fast.
 * How's this screenshot? I already put it in Help:Favicon, but I'll remove it if there is something obviously wrong that I missed.

 * It is from FireFox 3.6.3 on Mac OS X, but otherwise pretty generic.

 * Well, the explanatory text could stand out more. -- 03:21, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... you aren't colorblind are you? I guess I could make it bigger. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:23 PM PST 5 Jun 2010
