Please, don't top post.
It works just fine in my IE and Mozilla. Maybe you just have to empty
the cache and reload?
BTW, I don't see any "favicons" on the sites you mentioned?

IE Win only, put the fav icon in the root of the directoy, and IE will
use it without a link, but it seems to work with only certain versions.

Probably the same phenomenon: Not all versions of IE Win seem to treat
fav icon the same way. Note that my tests were very limited on this. I
have been able to get Firefox to recogize a fav icon on my test setup,
but not IE6.

yes, this worked, and only after I had bookmarked page, like someone
mentioned earlier.. in Netscape it works intermittently..

Please log in for more thread options the top-post thing is funny.. I mean if we post at the end of post
(some of them long..) then we always have to scroll down to see post,
instead of seeing it as soon as we open post.. but ok, I'll try to
remember.. Frances

sorry about this, as I was writing this still forgot to post below.. I
swear I didn't do it on purpose.. I'm so used to top-posting.. I have
been using usenet for about 10 years now, and it's only recently that
some folks have been asking people to not top-post..
