Favicon has me stumped.

[gajinoz]

My site has had a favicon working for some time, no problem there.
I recently changed the logo of the forum and that is working just fine.
I created a new favicon based on the new logo.
I renamed the old favicon file and uploaded the new one to the same directory with the same file name.

The old favicon is still showing up in the browser, why? What have I missed? What have I failed to do? Yes, I cleared the browser cache, used two different browsers and so on. How can the old favicon be showing up if I have renamed that file and uploaded a new one?

I'm clearly missing something obvious .....

browsers like to hold onto favions for dear life, do a CTRL F5 (windows, Firefox/IE) shift F5 in Chrome (windows)

APPLE R in OSX

OK, great, almost .....

Worked for Firefox and Chrome. Bloody IE won't let it go. Cleared everything, tried both F5 options multiple times, nothing, still the old one.

On the plus side I rarely use IE so that doesn't bother me personally but I'm sure I have plenty of users out there who do.

I'll keep fiddling, at least I know it's not something I've buggered up somewhere.

Thanks for the tip.

Give it sometime it will update its self

It's just one of those things. There's nothing you can do until their individual browsers decide to catch up. It's not something you can fix on your end.
