Post Favicon won't show.
I did read other topics about this and I tried everything that they told me from changing the file to an .ico file to waiting a week. I have been trying to change this thing for a long time now but I can't get it to work for some reason. :(

Hello,
favicon's don't work in every browser, so to be sure it has uploaded properly, clear your browser cache.
If it still doesn't show, change your browser and see if it works in the different one, again to be sure it did actually upload.

I tried it using Firefox, Google Chrome, and internet explorer but so far nothing has worked I also deleted my cache on each one and my friends also can't see it. Could it be the image? Are they supposed to be .ico or another file type?

Hello,
Yes they are supposed to be .ico images, so if you upload it again, but with a differ file name does it now work?

Hello,
This website: (http://www.favicon.cc/) is quite good at helping create a favicon. You can import an image, (so you can literally import the one you are trying to set) and then export it as a favicon. That should show, just make sure you clear your browser cache and are using the latest version of your browser to ensure it shows.
