| 562640 | 2007-06-25 07:43:00 | Hi all As above I put a favicon up for a friends site but it doesn't show in IE, it works fine in Opera and safari as well as firefox, but in IE there is nary a trace of it It's not a big issue it's just that the friend only uses IE (don't even go there), and I am going to look a bit silly if i tell them i have added something they can't see edit--------------- IE doesn't seem to want to show any favicons even in the bookmarks section, apart from the google favicon |

| 562641 | 2007-06-25 07:56:00 | This has been discussed here before if you want to do a search but basically Internet Explorer 6 and below do not support Favicons. Not sure if my memory serves me correctly or not but I think someone mentioned that IE7 does, however. Do that search... |

| 562645 | 2007-06-25 09:59:00 | Try using the suggestions above in conjunction with AM-Deadlink.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 562646 | 2007-06-25 10:39:00 | Yup, I can't get favicons in IE6 either. What is AM-Deadlink johcar? | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 562647 | 2007-06-25 10:47:00 | What is AM-Deadlink johcar? It checks to see whether your bookmarks are dead links or not. |

| 562648 | 2007-06-25 10:54:00 | Doesn't just check for deadlinks - it checks all your bookmarks (in most browsers) and downloads the favicon applicable to each. I suggested it because it might force IE to 'accept' your favicon. I had a similar problem with my website (in IE7) recently when I updated the favicon. Tried a number of things, including AM-Deadlink - not sure whether this was the straw that broke the camel's back, but it certainly came right shortly therafter... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 562649 | 2007-06-25 10:57:00 | Or try FavOrg... Similar app, but less features... And they're both FREE! Just fits my price. :) |
