Bunnie Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi, I manage a proboards forum and I recently changed the favicon.(several times) Browsers like chrome and IE show the new icon immediately, but Maxthon refuses to refresh. Even after changing the url of the forum it sticks. Why is this and what can I do about it? grtz, Bunnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3gi Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hello, Maxthon is preloading content from cache in order to save some data and therefore it doesn't check all content if it's up to date in every server request. Try to hit CTRL + F5 or "Update site icons" in context menu when you click on free space on your favorites bar. In some cases, freeing cache directly in ACP of your forum is necessary.

Bunnie Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yoy won't believe it but the old icon is back again. Please help to get it replaced by the new one, like other browsers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Look in the following folder: \AppData\Roaming\Maxthon3\UserData\Public\SiteIcon Delete the file siteicon.dat file in there and it will force all favicons to be refreshed. This would have happened when you deleted the Roaming\Maxthon3 folder before. As to why the old one came back after that i'm not really sure. If you're using a passport account, maybe siteicons gets synced as well? (although i doubt that would be the case) Can you provide a link to the site in question so others can check as well.

Bunnie Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 okay I'll try. My data is indeed synchronised with my passport account. This is another email address since I don't receive the recover password mail for this forum on the passport address. For some reason the password is different. this is the site url http://brabants-motor-forum.boards.net where you see a bike, I see an eagle : http://home.hccnet.nl/f.nijkamp/mctm/mctm_logo-20.ico let you know the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnie Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Okay, after signing off the maxthon account (Email removed) and closing maxthon the file was deleted. After starting up the icon was the new one, finally. Logged in again and started the synchronisation. the icon stayed after refresh. to be sure restarted the browser and then the old icon was back. So it has to do with the syncing. What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnie Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 can I access these sync-ed files? Can someone of the staff delete the file siteicon.dat? Of course tell me when that happens so I do the same action local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it has to do with the syncing. What to do? Same thing just happened to me... bike then after 1 or 2 refreshes the eagle is now there. Considering i've never been to this forum when the eagle was the favicon says to me that somehow the old icon is still being sent somehow. I still think it's weird that MX would sync the siteicons. My file is currently sitting at 22mb! That's a lot of data to sync just for icons of which 95%+ might not even be used in a session. can I access these sync-ed files? Can someone of the staff delete the file siteicon.dat? Can't happen to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHYR Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Favicons are not synced, best you can do is to update the favicons from sidebar favorite > More > Update site Icons Edit: I get the Eagle favicon, it's not Maxthon fault, that's the site's problem Other browsers are saving the right icon. Edit 2: IE saves a completely different favicon????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnie Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Strange. You people get the old icon and have never been to the site before. Ergo, the site must be at fault. But this don't happen on other browsers! What is going on here? edit: I guess IE is a bit slow in getting the forum's icon and get's the provider's icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnie Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Okay. Found it. I had the .ico defined on two locations. When I deleted the ICO original location, it disappeared. Reason for me to examine the page code more thouroughly and found the link. Thanks all for your help and thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
