Bookmark Icon
Permalink
Hi there, I have added Bookmark Icon in the C5 dashboard. The icons work with Firefox etc but not with internet explore 9, I just the internet explorer 'e' logo come up. Any ideas on how to get around this?
Please note that while the ICO can be a container for a BMP Image, it is still not identical. So I'd be a little careful about doing file conversion by just changing the extension. (Maybe someone who has done some research can tell us if this leads to reliable results.)

I totally agree with you, I was just saying that you could rename a .bmp to .ico if you don't have the correct software to make an icon (even though that wasn't clear in my previous post).
The preferred way is absolutely to use the correct file format.
(As a side note - I also use gimp for my icons and everything else concerning images.)

My preferred way of creating an favicon, that works everywhere is using GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ . Just open your png and save it as ico.
It is also the only programm I know that supports 8-Bit alpha channels for ico files.

Hi there, Got it to work YAY thanks for the help!
Great! Which method did you do?
First answer. Found that I had not made the bookmarks a .ico file.
Glad I could help.
You could also try to remove it from the dashboard settings and add it manually:
Method 1:
Upload your favicon.ico to your root. Should now be picked up by all browsers.
Method 2:
Upload your .ico file (with whatever name you want) to your root and add the following in your templates <head> section:
