Thank you for your response! Yes, I agree, this is how it
should work. But I'm afraid this isn't exactly what's happening here. The site has had a favicon.ico long before I signed up for Disqus, so it would have been available if it were requested. I have done multiple changes in Settings since this question was posted and the icon did not appear.
In fact, looking at some of the more popular sites that you'd think should have resolved that issue already, like the Christian Science Monitor (
CSMonitor) , I see that they don't have the icon either. So, it may not be that easy.
Could someone from the Disqus Team chime in here perhaps?
Thanks!
