Hi, I'm totally outraged today. I browse through my site and on many pages I suddenly see the yahoo icon as a favicon. Checking it out, it makes sense. I have Yahoo as a host (generally gladly, I may add) - so they just changed the favicon file to their own... Even when I change it back through FTP, it doesn't change. On some pages I have an actual favicon link in the HTML, so you can see what it ought to look like just going to my homepage: http://www.katinkahesselink.net/ But if you go to almost any other page, for instance my pages on the internet (quite elementary, but useful for newby's) you see the yahoo favicon: http://www.katinkahesselink.net/internet/ I reported this to their staff, so I hope they will change this back pronto. It may finally be the straw that makes me change hosts.
yeah i see what your saying. The homepage shows the correct favicon whereas the other pages show yahoo ico. By doing this they will be surely losing their customers.
I do generally have good experience with their policies, so I'll give them a month or so. Usually it goes something like this: I report something > they say they can't help > a month or so later it IS fixed. It is annoying though. How am I going to find a host that has good stats, enough server room, reliable host in general (great uptime) and is affordable? I do get a decent amount of visitors, and I want to keep that up. As if I wasn't busy enough as it is...
I don't see any problem. I can see the ohm sign as the favicon. I am using opera. which is ur browser?
Yes, they did fix it. I don't think it's a browser problem - I see the change back now in firefox (which I used all along) as well. This is generally my experience with Yahoo - they may make mistakes like this for a bit, but they usually do fix it.
