    favicon icons are better in the main root folder...

    Thanks for the reply louie.

    Im working from a template/script that uses php and i thought it would be easier to overwrite the one that is there. there is no index.html to edit.

    The template / script must have a HEADER.PHP so that's where you'll find the link to your favicon.

    Also note that your favicon may actually have been updated. I've seen it happen quite often that the favicon doesn't update even after a shift-reload (which forces clear cache on most browsers).
