I have a website that uses a style sheet switcher and a fav icon. These don't work when users go to my website through a web redirect address, which is When they go to the actual address they both work fine. My question is this, is there anything I can do that will make these things work when users go to my web redirect address. I know if I bought a actual dot com it would work, but that's not an option for me right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
I believe that for some browsers, the favicon needs to be located in the root of the home server. Are you able to upload files to the 2hell.com address? If not, try explicity setting the path to a known URL:

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon" />

Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip, the icon works like a charm now, if only I could get the style sheet switcher to not go back to the default in Internet Explorer.
 

Your CSS switcher works just fine for me in IE whichever of the two addresses I visit.

Yea it does for me now too. I must not have refreshed the page or something like that. Thanks again for your help.
