Changing the site favicon
From Joomla! Documentation

This works okay for Firefox but doesn't change the favicon in ie7. It must be calling the favicon up from somewhere else in the site other than the template, or the site root, as I have replaced that with my own, and it still finds the Joomla favicon. Also there is no line like
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursite.com/templates/your_template/icon/favicon.ico" />
in rhuk_milkyway, the standard Joomla 1.5 template's index.php
This advice is the same given in all documentaion I found on the subject and it isn't right. Surely other users are experiencing this?
This has been reported many times and on all occasions that I am aware of it is down to the browser caching the favicon.ico file. I will look at amending the documentation to include a warning to this effect. Chris Davenport 03:09, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Ok, looks like this page already contains text describing the issue and what to do about it. Chris Davenport 03:11, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
