I was going to design my own site but all it focuses on is a forum so I installed PHP BB3 instead. I have only two concerns which is changing the Favicon and setting up OG Meta for sharing to Facebook.

I have edited the style>template>overall_header and then added the following just before </head>

Code:
<meta property="og:title" content="{PAGE_TITLE}"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="{BOARD_URL}{SCRIPT_NAME}.php"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="{SITENAME}"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="{SITE_DESCRIPTION}"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="FACEBOOK.PNG"/>
<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://deepground.info/favicon.ico">

The website is meant to be a gaming forum for friends and people they know and stuff, but I can't get these two things working. I have flushed the cache of the template files and made sure my template is active. I'm running Firefox if that helps.

For a favicon, I get a white, lowercase 'd' on a red background. Is that what you wanted?

And the page source shows:
HTML:
<meta property="og:title" content="Gaming Community"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://*********.info/index.php"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="*******"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="Gaming Community"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="FACEBOOK.PNG"/>

(******* replaces your info)

Are you sure that the Facebook image is supposed to be all caps?

After restarting my computer earlier the favicon started to show. But I'm not sure if it's Facebook being stubborn but when I paste the url into the share box it never loads the details just displays the link twice. But yeah I set it to all caps so when I was looking through the files I could find the image. I haven't uploaded it yet though.
