Have you got this in your <head>?

Code: Select all

<link rel="icon" href="http://yoursitename.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursitename.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>

check this out, may be of some help http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/validator/ , your icon was checked but was not found to be a valid favicon , dont know exacely what that means, maybe your code or the image itself

Cheers for that mate, what it was lol, my mate all he did was resize and save a .ico so what i did was used the favicon generator

and now it works.

Cheers for the replys and help.

Thanks
