it didn't work with our site neither. i saw several sites, that showed it up once, after restarting it was gone... i guess it's nothing to rely on in any kind.

probably we should ask the guys at google groups. their icon is working...

I also tried this on a clients site that wanted it but it never worked for theirs either. I don't know if it's perhaps something to do with the hosting companies server???

I'm using IE 6

I have already tried emptying my temp. internet files directory and my history.

It only works in IE 5.5.

Sometimes it doesn't show up, that's normal. Try emptying your temp files. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

but not a very reliable way, 'cause you only catch the ie5.x bookmarks...

Hi,

i'm surprised, that not a lot of sites use this possibility or don't even know about it.
we realized it, when we looked at our logfile and saw all those /favicon.ico 404-errors...
