    Favorite icon for the website?

    Looks like it's missing a fav icon, the Kubuntu logo would be perfect for it.

    You aren't seeing this?

      Nope, I'm not seeing it on multiple, Qt and Gecko based browsers.

            Hm, isn't this a mystery.

            For those not seeing it: please go to KFN's home page and then select your browser's option to view source. Near the top of the page, inside the <head> and just after the <meta> tags, you should see the following:
            Code:
            <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
            Another test: click the following link, which is the URL to the favicon image file:
            http://www.kubuntuforums.net/favicon.ico

            Please report back your findings.

                Working here Opera-Next 12.50_1497 but not on rekonq 0.9.1 maybe its some setting? After viewing the direct link it shows in rekonq.

                  Snowhog, in your view source, what comes after the <meta name> tag? The favicon should be next, followed by two more <meta> tags, and then the beginning of all the site's JavaScript defines:

                  Code:
                  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
                  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
                  <head>
                  <script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>
                  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
                  <meta id="e_vb_meta_bburl" name="vb_meta_bburl" content="http://www.kubuntuforums.net">

                    This is all I'm getting in the <head></head>:

                    Code:
                    <head>
                      <title>Kubuntu Forums .:. Linux Support </title>
                      <META name="description" content="Kubuntu Forums is dedicated to providing free technical 
                      support for linux users through the knowledge of the Kubuntu community.">
                      <META name="keywords" content="kubuntu, ubuntu, forums, forum, linux, suse, novell, redhat, 
                      fedora, core, open, source, computer, operating, system, knoppix, kubuntu forum, kubuntu 
                      forums, ubuntu forum, ubuntu forums">
                    </head>
                    There's no <link> tag whatsoever.

                      What you see is all there is. Note that the link line above the first meta name line contains the favicon.ico href, yet here, that icon isn't displayed in the URL of Chromium.

                        That is very weird. Please copy the entire view source output of the KFN homepage into a page on the KDE Pastebin and report back here with the URL. I very much want to see the raw HTML you're getting.

                          Whoa, mixed up commenting going on.

                          Snowhog: I think you edited your post? In my earlier reply, when I asked what was after the <meta name> tag, your quoted section ended with <meta name="generator"...> tag. Now, after your edit, I see your HTML looks just like mine (viewed in Rekonq).

                          wh0rd: Your HTML is indeed curious, and yours is the one I'd like to see in full. Something appears to be editing your HTML stream.

                              The problem seems to be when accessing the site from .COM vs .NET. The .COM url causes a lot of issues, even with avatars along with favicon and limited HTML source code. However, .NET renders fine, favicon, avatar, and full HTML source.
