Tell HN: Hacker News's favicon is missing?
I browse hacker news using Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu. I don't know it just happened to me or to everyone that HN's favicon is missing. When I see the HTML source code, there is a favicon.

Appears to still be there, please try going to:
https://news.ycombinator.com/favicon.ico to see what comes up.
Resource Request Information: Location: https://news.ycombinator.com/favicon.ico Size: 256px x 256px, Cached:No, Type: X-ICON image, HTTP/1.1 200 OK, Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2016 03:04:01 GMT
You're right. It shows on that page but doesn't show on the browser tab. I don't know maybe cache problem.
It's just small problem that don't have to worried about.
Getting all the browsers pick the favicon is more difficult than it seams.
Retry in a few hours and retry from another computer. If the problem is still there, you can send a message to the mods hn@ycombinator.com (preferably with a screenshot). I think they'll be happy to get the bug report and fix it.
(For this kind of topics it's better to use the email than a post, because the post sometimes is unnoticed and they usually reply to the email in less than two hours.)
Thank you for suggestion @gus_massa.
I will be contacting them.
It's fine now. Hacker News's favicon shows up.
