It seems that IE users have been having problems with the blog page caused by Artio JoomSEF creating a weird URL for any Joomla blog category page. It was creating the page http://lightquick.co.uk/blog/index.php and this meant that the base URL changed so that no images would display. Each image had an extra /blog inserted into the URL. Strangely enough this problem did not mainfest itself on Firefox or Chrome and those browsers worked perfectly well all the time. Only IE had the issue. As I use Firefox exclusively for all development I did not see the problem myself. I have now manually changed the SEF URL to default to blog.html rather than /blog/index.php and it now seems to work on all browsers. Next time I purge the SEF URLs I must remember to make this same change every time. Once again, apologies IE users, summat strange happened and I don't really know why... fixed now though.
Simply replace http://lightquick.co.uk with your domain name. This forces IE8 to use the base HREF in all of the css/js/image lookups. IE8 will no longer try to anticipate what the URLs are likely to be and get it wrong. It will now use the correct URL as defined by you.
