    Default Site doesn't render or load properly in all browsers.

    In Apple's Safari, none of the forms work for me (including login). In Firefox, I'm OK.

    This is the only website I have found in at least five years that has been a problem.

    The trick with safari is to reload the page, then it will render ok. So you click the link, hit reload, hit a button, hit reload. rinse and repeat. I don't think it's a problem with the site, I think there's a bug in Safari. Like you, I solved the problem by running Firefox.

    Reloading doesn't work for me - very odd!

    I use Firefox at work and Safari at home (except for this place - which is worth loading a new browser for!)

    No biggie. Easy workaround.

    Do both of the following links render incorrectly under safari?

    I ask because vBulletin claims they render correctly under Safari. If only the second link fails then the problem is more likely a Mambo CMS problem.

    Just the second page perishes dismally.

    CMS?

    The first link loads the forum as an independent page... the problem is apparently w/Mambo, which loads the forum within its page.

    The problem may resolve itself when we upgrade the CMS... or not.

    IMHO Firefox is a better choice for a browser... but I don't want to start a debate about that since we are about razors here, and not about which browser or operating system is best. The unfortunate fact is that no single browser renders everything correctly since there is no universal agreement/acceptance of a standard to decide what's "correct". Just keep in mind that Microsoft's IE browser has about 85% market share compared to Firefox's 12% and Safari's 2%... so, which tail is wagging the dog?
