The above deals with most of it and you will get a pic like the one @carlos posted. The benefit of doing it yourself is that the info sticks better. Don't just look at his pic (or anyone else's) and try to memorise it. Make one of your own from the rules above.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I would forget the names and go purely by sound. Work out natural minor and harmonic minor and major scales on one string all the way up, two strings then one position, any position starting on any string and then 6 strings as high as you can go. Eventually your head and muscle memory remembers the relative fret changes between strings etc, depending on what you are playing. Then you can introduce more exotic scales or pentatonics, anything really and do the same. Use octaves as a reference if your ear isn't that great at first.
If you learn by technique or position or names of notes alone, you'll get lost or worse, limited.
Or, if you know all that stuff already but you are asking about communication to other theory savvy musicians who can't be arsed to use their ears, all you have to do is learn all the 12 notes on a high open E string from open E to high E and whatever note you are stuck on, use the high E as a octave reference. There aren't that many notes really.
Or, if you want to learn an E2 from an E3 or an E4 or E5 and the actual octave for frequency purposes....I start falling down there as I don't know myself and just listen to the tone, but I think a low open E is an E2 as a reference.
I use the E2 as a reference for singing tones and can just about hit an A1 by singing the E2 along to playing the E2, then playing an E3 and following it down on a major scale with my voice and practicing an E6 falsetto on my 24 fret Mockingbird. No not really, I can't do that.
It would be nice to hear a singer and say to myself, oh he's singing a C Sharp 3 or something though. I can't do that, I can get the C but there is where it ends.
This is really really fundamental. Every child going through the classical music system has to learn how the scales sound before thinking about how to play them. Scales aren't meant to be just technique-builders. And the guitar is largely a key-agnostic instrument for many styles. Obviously not if you're using the open strings a lot, but for the noodlers.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
C=.... 3rd fret A string
5th fret G string
8th fret both top E and botton E string
so now this same interval shape using fingers 1 for 3rd fret
3rd for 5th fret
4th for 8th fret
do the same staring on the E string and you will know the names of them all ...
will maybe take a bit of thinking about when working things out from the D G B strings but you will be able to work it out so basically when you look at one note look at the octaves at the same time and remember whatever you play on bottom E is the same as on top E

Over the years, I've found that the combination of ear training and visualisation of the fretboard worked well.
With enough practice you should be able to recognise intervals by sound and then visualise them on the fretboard. 3rd and 5ths are easiest to start with, but I find that it's good to practice all of the intervals, obviously some are much more difficult than others.
