Site crashes when I search on a Macintosh

Anyone else have difficulty using a macintosh and this bbs...all was well until the new look took hold, then -- BAM. I cannot PM users nor can I search without my the site quitting.

Any help is appreciated.

Rob

The problem is the buggy Safari for the Mac. Use Firefox or Internet Explorer instead.

I had the same problem since Pelican was upgraded. I use Firefox and now it works fine.

Camino. Simplest, smallest, fastest.

Fonts often cause problems like this. A good approach is to empty out all of your non-standard fonts. Then, add them in one by one to find which one is causing problems. I've chased my tail many times because of corrupt fonts. OS X just doesn't like em.

Just tried a search on Pelican using Safari 3.0.3 without problems. I also generally use Camino and prefer it to Safari, but the latest version seems to work fine.

I had the problem until I switched to the new safari beta, too, but only intermittently.
