Apparently, this site was not accessible last night via IE or Mac Safari. I have fixed the problem as far as I can tell. Apologies for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you are still having difficulty accessing this blog.
UPDATE: If someone who reads this post has access to Mac Safari and can tell me whether this blog displays properly on it, I would be grateful.
The more reliable fix for the future is for readers to use Firefox.
Click Here.
Firefox is more tolerant of programming errors than are some of the other browsers. However, not everyone uses Firefox, so I try to make sure the blog looks OK in IE and Safari too.
Looks fine on Safari.
Perhaps Lefty hackers?
Do we use Sitemeter? It’s been having issues with IE7.
Knucklehead: Thanks! Are you using a Mac? I found that the blog looked OK on Safari for Windows, but the Mac version may be different.
Mitch: It appears to have been Sitemeter, but I’m trying to find out if there’s another issue specific to Mac Safari.
Fred Lapides: Hackers of any kind are few and far between here. Inadvertent self-hacking by the Chicagoboyz administrator is somewhat more frequent.
Jonathan,
I think its still broken in Safari. The top post looks like a pile of some kind of alien fruit.
Seriously, the site seems slow to load fully under safari. It loads the banner and basic layout but then takes a minute or more to build the rest.
Thanks, Shannon. Sounds like there is indeed a separate Safari issue here.
I have not any problems accessing the site. I use Firefox and Mac. I have been told that liberals tend to be Mac people, conservatives, PC…any truth to this generalization?
I am a liberal and I have a PC and a MacBook. In my younger republican daze, I did not know how to operate a computer.
Sorry for the delay, Jonathan. I’ve been away a couple days. I did a quick look and a few clicks (can’t call it testing but it looked and felt fine) from my G4 PB, Mac OS 10.4.something, using Safari 1.3.something (I think thats what it was). I keep the SW current within 10.4. I also had the page open using Firefox 3.whatever (also on the PB). Firefox and safari looked and worked identical as far as I could tell.
Thanks again, Knucklehead. I suspect that one of the scripts, perhaps the one that displays comments in a separate window in the right sidebar, is causing intermittent problems.
