It depends on your browser, Jess. In Netscape 7 you can see them. I have Mozilla 1.1 at home, and I can't see them. Though at one point, I think I could.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I'm on IE, and I'm seeing the generic "Internet" icon down there.
I'm on IE and getting the same thing as Jess.
I'm not seeing it (Mozilla 1.2.1), but then again, I'm not seeing it linked in the code, either.
It should show just by virtue of being in the root directory, no code required.
Ah. I'm pretty sure that Mozilla won't display it unless it's coded into a LINK tag. Whether that's Mozilla being strict about the rules, or Mozilla being buggy, I do not know.
Sometimes they show, sometimes not. My Google favorite doesn't have an icon right now.
What happens if you go to the actual file itself at [link] -- that might force it to be recognised by the browser.
The annoying thing about favicon is that every recent version of IE asks every web server if it's got it.
So all over the world, millions of webservers have it show up millions of times in their "missing files" report, despite the fact it's not missing in any logical person's view of the world...
And some browsers give up asking for a file if they ask for it x number of times and don't find it. So going to it might work.
It's still not working in my IE. Strange.
I'm getting gibberish when I click on the icon link. And the icon doesn't appear in Netscape 7. Or not for me at least.
