forum favicon

the forum favicon changed to a generic forum icon in my bookmarks, is it just me?

Mine hasn't but I may have overwriten it when I did the forum upgrade yesterday.

I'll ftp it back up later.

mine is the generic icon too :/

/me votes for Achmed as favicon

Everytime I copy the new file over it shows in the directory as the old one

I will delete the favicon now leave it a few hours then replace it and see if that cures it.

what is that chmod 744 or 755?? heh been too long since i've had to do that

swarfega · 22 Jan 2009

444 i think but dont quote me

renthor · 22 Jan 2009

Ah yeah, that's the trick. 744 or 755 would still let him have write access to it

This happens to me as well. When I run faviconizer it helps keep some of the icons in place but some still will not show up or will only show up for a limited amount of time. This is one of my pet peeves about
Windows 7 and I'am determined to find a perminate fix for it because it drives me insane!

Here is a link for faviconizer which is a small utility for finding your favicons and it helps to keep them in place also.
FavIconizer | Stefan's Tools

If you find an actual fix or setting that makes the favicons work let me know. This is the one thing about Windows 7 that makes it not as good as Vista to me. I had no such favicon issues in Vista at all I just know it's some lame security setting causing this but I have turned them all off to no avail.
