Yup, me too. Have an Apple household and Safari crashes after navigating through the site. Not sure why - a particular smily or avatar I'm guessing.


Started bringing home the work laptop and visiting the site with Explorer. No problems.

Admins, any thoughts????

I can't help getting it to work in Safari, but there's no need to lug your work lappy home. The site works fine in Firefox under 10.4.6--bonus is that pages seem to load a touch faster in Firefox. Not a solution, but it'll get you your club fix with minimal hassle.

The fix: Don't use safari.

It's a problem with how safari either renders CSS/DHTML or processes javascript.

I use Firefox on my Intel MacBook running 10.4.7 No issues.

Crashes my 2.0.4 Safari on 10.4.7. I don't much care for Firefox. It only crashes sometimes.

No problems here... Safari 2.0.4 and powerbook g4 OSX 10.4.7... infact my computer never crashes (running to knock on nearest wood...) I just keep it clean.

If my computer ever starts acting funky (it did two months ago) I just back up everything and re-install the OS. Keeps it fresh and fast

Alright... I'm curious now. I've only had this Macbook for a couple of months and still haven't totally migrated to it. I really got used to Firefox before this MacBook purchase, so I automatically loaded it up the Mac. As such, I don't use safari too much although it is still the default browser.

Long story short, I'm going to try Safari(v 2.0.4) to view 914club this morning and see how it works out. I'll report back.

That didn't take long. Firefox blows Safari away. Not very scientific or anything, YMMV, etc... but side by side testing had Firefox loading 70% of web pages, both 914world.com and others, 50% faster.

If you're on a Mac, try it yourself.

Downloaded firefox this AM. No problems yet and seems to load a little faster. looks like I'll have to get used to a new browser.
