Cross posting may not be spelled out clearly but when you do so it really makes things difficult for us.
Imagine someone cross-posts in one or more forums.
In one forum, the problem is solved, in another it's not.
A moderator that is unaware the problem is solved takes the time to answer the post in the forum it's not solved in.
Although it's already solved they take the time to answer it....
That means they are not solving unresolved posts.
Multiply this time xxx number of users cross posting and xxx number of moderators answering posts that have been solved elsewhere.
I guarantee that RT has one of the best or fastest response rates but it's slowed by impatient members cross-posting in multiple forums to get a quick response.
It's just basic etiquette, be a little patient.... - Thanks,
jim

JEM,
I apprciate the work that goes into managing a forum. I've done it myself. However, please also appreciate the frustration of members who purchase templates and need answers about how to use them, but instead of answers get read the rules.
There were two open discussions on the topic. The discussions were slightly different -- one was a basic favicon discussion; the other was about editing code.
My point is, I was not cross-posting.
Let's just try to focus on helping members use your templates.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi Prim...trying to follow this, but my code reads a little different to me...the non-coder. In my rt_head_includes.php I have this which seems different than what you wrote above.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/images/favicon.ico" />
So I should put the favicon in the /public_html directory and change code to:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=" mysite.com/favicon.ico " />
Sorry, but couldn't write a php line of code if I had to. Thanks.

With this code and then place your favicon in your root directory. Sometimes the favicon takes a little time to appear
<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

I added the following code to the index.php file in the mynxx template (template>rt_mynxx).
<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=" yoursite.com/favicon.ico " type="image/x-icon" />
The favicon.ico shows up in the bar, but the site won't load. I get a parsing error. So, I had to remove the code and revert back.
Any suggestions?

Please direct me to where "rt_head_includes.php" is. I am using modulus for 1.6.
I am really having a problem with the flavicon..
