    What do I need to do in order to change the favicon? Do I have to change anything in my default.aspx or web.config or can I just delete the favicon.ico in the root folder and change it with a new favicon?

    Thank you so much for the help.

    You should actually put the favicon in the root directory for the site. What you put in Portals/_default will be the default favicon for any site that doesn't have one. Put the favicon for site 0 in Portals/0, etc.

    And, while you are at it, you can get rid of the favicon file in the root web directory.

    The favicon is stored in the user browser's cache. Clearing the cache on the browser will fix it.

    No matter how I refresh, I don't get the favicon in my site with IE7 (works fine with FireFox).
    http://www.stearmangroup.com. Favicon should look like a small biplane like the logo on the template site.
    IE7 has flushed all cache and restarted the browser and DNN, but nothing seems to work.

    I'm about 2 build several sites on this same installation and want different faves for each. Suggestions?

    I am having same problem. No matter what file I put in the portal root e.g. Portals\0 an old favicon is displayed. I have deleted all icons including defaults but this does not make any difference. The current icon is one that I placed there several months ago and it now refuses to go away. I have restarted the application and also updated the web.config file to try and flush the cache but no joy.

    I have tested on client machines that have never visited the site and they also display the old favicon.ico and not the new version. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

    Found a work around. I found a tip on another forum http://www.dnnskin.com/KnowledgeBas...vicon.aspx that allows you to point to a different location for the favicon.ico file. I tried this and it worked first time. Simply place the following line in the HEAD section of default.aspx and specify the new location. link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/Portals/0/favicon.ico" The strange thing is that I now have the favicon back in the portal root (see above) and the new favicon displays every time. However, if I remove the line above from default.aspx the old favicon (that no longer exists) returns.
