Good point :idea:

, so should have an option to enable/disable the favicon.

How about we disable it by not including a reference to it in the header and if you want it you can manually edit the header file and add it?

I'm back ! :mrgreen:

Why dont we just include this image:

in the phpbb3 release?
In my opinion it is perfect for this and it represents the software.

+1 phpBB should have one when you fresh install.

Well, I am certainly for. If we include it, it makes no harm (if phpBB is not in root directory, it will be ignored, if it is, it shows up). As TheKiller said, if prosilver can have phpBB logo included, why phpBB itself cannot afford adding favicon?

Next argument for is that it (in certain conditions) removes apache (or other server system) errors (usually written in logs), because no favicon means one e404 request.

But it cannot be included in <head>, for sure not!

I agree we should include a favicon by default. I agree though that we should only include a default favicon.ico file, and not add an element to head for it, so that site which already have a favicon.ico keep theirs.

So what is the final decision? Can a ticket be created?

Include a favicon but not call it favicon.ico?

Postby **Senky** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:54 pm

No, naderman meant including favicon.ico named favicon.ico, included in root of phpBB, but do not add it into overall_header <head> tag. If favicon is not included in <head>, browser tries to load it from root of domain (eg area51.phpbb.com/favicon.ico), so if administrator changes it, it will display custom favicon, but if it does not change it, it will display phpBB's default favicon.
