cornfestival Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I have created a 16x16 pixel favicon for my web site but it does not show up. I created it in a Windows icon creator program and named it favicon.ico. I can preview it in Explorer and it shows up correctly but when I upload it to my root directory it does not show up. I have cleared my cached and history. Any ideas? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 If you are talking about the little ear of corn, I see it in Firefox. Not in IE. Bookmarked the site. Next time I opened it there it was. Quote
cornfestival Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Oh, one more thing. The icon shows up in Mac OS X Safari, Netscape 7.1 and Opera. Go figure. Quote
cornfestival Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Thanks Bruce. I tried the bookmark thing too in IE and it still does not show up. Quote
LisaJill Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 The cache for IE doesn't control the favicon cache, a few refreshes / a few days and it should just start to shwo up. This is a fairly common aggravation with favicons, unfortunately. Quote
cornfestival Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 I got it to work. I ticked the box for "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu" under the "Advanced" tab of "Internet Options" and then restart. Once I did that it shows up fine. Quote
