Favicon Help

I created a favicon and uploaded it but I can't get it to show up when I bookmark. I've put it everywhere I can think of but its not working. This is for my phpbb forum, can someone tell me what folder I need to place the favicon in for it to show up?

if needed here is the url of where I want it to show

Welshjim at this site has a brief tutorial (last post). I don't know if this is helpful or not for what you're trying to do.

Thanks...but that tells you how to keep them on your computer after clearing temp files. I can't get it to show up in the first place.

favicon

Try putting the full URL. I'll paste my code below. It works for URL www.uapress.com. A caveat: My favicon works on every computer I've tried it on except my own. That is, it won't work on every computer. (Anybody know why?)

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.uark.edu/campus-resources/uaprinfo/public_html/favicon.ico">

I've got it working on all of them now with this code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

The phpbb board isn't showing up in my browser but it does show up while bookmarked.

The wordpress blog shows up in both places.

The b2 evolution blogs show up in the browser but not in the bookmarks.

I'm not sure if some of this has to do with caching or not, I tried clearing them to no avail.

I also use the most recent, stable version of Opera.
