i tried to set a favicon up on my site, but it didn’t work. so i’ve prety much given up on it.

however, a new problem has arisen.

i’ve got a setup where if a page or image that doesn’t exist, it sends me an email with the error, as well as a custom error page if its a mis-spelt link or something.

anyway, i removed all trace of code from the only page that had the favicon on it, so therefore, no favicon should try to be loaded. but yet i still get error messages.

removed the favicon image from the server, no difference, i then put it back on the server…but yet the error messages get more common. and its not regulary either…they either come once every site visit, or about 6 million in one go. and “favicon.ico” comes up as a page visit on the stats page i got…

any ideas on how to stop this?
