Another favicon not working in IE

I've read through and tried all the favicon fixes already posted. Including:

  1. Refreshing the cache
  2. Using a different favicon that works on other websites
  3. Using a favicon generating website
  4. Using a Photoshop favicon plugin
  5. Using an absolute path
  6. Using a relative path

It works fine in all the other browsers. I'm using IE8 in Vista via Parallels on a Mac.

It's on a Moodle website and I have not altered the default Moodle code for the favicon:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $CFG->themewww .'/'. current_theme() ?>/favicon.ico" />

The site is here: http://www.olvarwood.com.au/olvarwoodonline/

Favicon path is here: http://www.olvarwood.com.au/olvarwoodonline/theme/olvar-wood/favicon.ico

Any ideas?

favicons are funny things. I believe they may be cached differently to normal web content.

This may be because browsers (as well as other things) often request favicon.ico for every site they go to.

I've had favicons not working, and then miraculously appear several hours later.

Sorry if this isn't much help, but try waiting it out :)

It works on my IE7. So it must be specific to IE8. The only thing I could suggest testing is to add:

type="image/x-icon"

in your link favicon element.
