I have a website that I've just uploaded onto the Internet. When I browse to the site using Firefox 3.0.1 on Ubuntu I don't see the favicon; Firefox 3.0.1 on WinXP does display it.
Why isn't the favicon displaying under Ubuntu? It's a favicon.ico file in the root directory, not referenced in the meta tags; would it work better as a GIF?
Previously, there was no favicon. The browser cached the lack of favicon. Clear the Firefox cache, and all is well.
Try taking a look at this previous Question, which shows you must put two meta tags in your html in order for it to work across all browsers and operating systems.

I am currently having an issue with Github Pages
I guess it doesn't hurt to use the actual live example
The corresponding repo is https://github.com/ScottA38/ScottA38.github.io
I made some styling changes (maybe some JS changes I don't remember) ages ago when I was actively working on the content, and somehow ever since the 'projects' page has been 404 when I try and click through to it from the menu.
I am using Jekyll theme Jam which is some obscure obsolete theme, but I don't see it being a problem really
The strangest part is that if I load the site locally with bundle exec jekyll serve then this page appears perfectly at localhost:4000/projects, just not on the live site
If I put https://scotta38.github.io/projects.html (live site) it also appears perfectly, just not at https://scotta38.github.io/projects like I want
I have seen some suggestions about GH servers caching an old version or something like this but I don't really understand and I need some guidance
"About" page works and you have a permalink there, but nothing for projects.
Probably adding
permalink: /projects/
will fix the issue.
Images embedded in Articles not being displayed in migrated Joomla website
I have migrated a Joomla 3.7.2 website from an old server to a new server using a particularly messy technique. Basically, I exported the database and then copied the important folders and it all worked remarkably well barring one very specific feature. Articles with images in them no longer display the images in the new site.
I have System - SEF enabled in both sites (and switching it off makes no difference)
I use JCE and in code view the typical line displaying the image looks like this:
<p><img src="images/players/shirt.jpg" alt="" /></p>
In both sites.
JCE is configured to use Relative URLs in both sites. If I turn that OFF then I get the image displayed in the new site. Of course that's just a hack around the problem not a solution to it.
Path to Files Folder, and Path to Images Folder is set to images in both sites.
HTML inspector on the old site shows the
<img src="/images/players/shirt.jpg" alt="Shirt">
And on the new site
<img src="images/players/shirt.jpg" alt="Shirt">
And if you hover over the url it says "could not load the image". The missing first '/' is clearly the problem but what is it that puts it there after the article is saved by the editor and before the html is displayed in the browser?
Slightly embarrassed to pretend this is an answer but today I got the prompt to update Joomla to 3.7.3 and of course immediately afterwards the problem has gone away.
Why images not showing when I paste from MS Word.
Ckeditor show that source
<h1><img src="file:///C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image002.jpg" style="height:88px; width:1005px" /></h1>
This file exist.
Ckeditor version is for AspNet.
Tested on Chrome, IE 10 and IE 11
Your CKEditor is presumably running on a web page, with a http:// address.
Modern browsers don't support embedding images (or anything else) from file:// URLs in http:// pages (or https://, or any other protocol) for security reasons.
This is because there'd be the danger of a malicious site embedding something from your private files (like a document), and then using some security hole to read and upload it elsewhere.
But even if this worked, it wouldn't do you much good: the image isn't uploaded into CKEditor so the image would show up on your computer only. Anyone else watching the page you're editing would see a broken image link.
As far as I know, there's currently no way around uploading the image separately.
I'm encountering a really frustrating problem with WordPress and I hope someone can help. Images are uploading to WordPress correctly (they are in the library) but once a file is uploaded there is simply a blank screen. Closing and reopening the "Add an Image" window, I still cannot add them to posts unless I enter the full URL because the "Media Library" tab simply doesn't show anything (see below - interface shows there are 33 images and 4 tabbed pages, but none of them are displayed.
I've about reached the end of my rope trying to fix this problem. Searched and searched and can find no answer. Some people had similar problems, and I tried all of their posted solutions, including:
Uninstalled all plugins
Nuked and reinstalled all wordpress files
Checked browser versions (occurring in Chrome 7.0.5 and FireFox 3.2)
No JavaScript errors found (used Firebug and Chrome's JS panel)
Checked domain name in Settings for improper capitalization
Checked image URL to make sure there was no gibberish, and there isn't
Does anyone have any suggestions (I'm running version 3.0.2 on Apache)? I'd be forever in your debt. Thank you!
Oops, it won't let me post an image because of 'spam protection.' Drats!

It looks like IE7 doesn't reload the latest version of my stylesheet each time I upload a new version on the server.
This is annoying as I am debugging my .css file to make it work on IE...
Tried to empty the browser cache but still not working.
Thanks for your help.
Ctrl-F5 - forcible way to reload in IE
Include your version number in the file name. myfile_v1234.css
When testing, every time you do an update you can just wite "stylesheet.css?r=98123"
As long as the query string is different, it'll be downloaded again.
If you need, you can use javascript to append Math.random(), to get the random number. Not required on production though, when updates would be stable.
2 Questions:
Does IE eventually load with the newer stylesheet?
How are you saving the changes to the server (SSH, Web Interface, etc.)?
I ask because I ran into an issue with a web-based file management system a while back where one browser would show the CSS just fine, the other wouldn't, and we noticed the issue of which browser played nicely depended on which browser we used to upload the CSS.
The reason turned out to be that IE gave the CSS file a different MIME type than Firefox. If you continue to notice the issue even when you've cleared the cache, check the MIME type of the file using Firefox by going to Tools > Page Info.
Also, if it is simply a caching issue, consider turning caching off in IE. I believe this should be an Advanced Option under Internet Options.
Also, you may want to try creating a special developer environment for IE (if it comes down to it.) Perhaps have another machine with IE7 and no caching and any other features turned off (A kiosk mode, perhaps), and then previewing the page on that machine.
Thanks to you all!
I did manage to solve my problem with the "stupid" Ctrl+F5, and by changing the Internet Parameters of Windows to reload content every new visit.
