    Guys,

    One of our members just informed me that each time he logs on to YF it crashes his system. He's using Mac iBook G4 running Firefox. Has anyone else experienced the same?

    Thanks!

    I don't typically use Firefox (2.0.0.6) on my Mac, but I tried it and had no problems. Powerbook G4 running 10.4.10.

    On a side note, since everyone out there is using Opera (9.22) on their Mac like I am, it has a bug on the front page. The page doesn't automatically resize its width dimension, where as on the forum pages it doesn't give me any problems. Funny thing is it only does it in the Mac version of Opera, so I'm not so sure it's a coding issue with Yachtforums, but just so you're aware.

    Think it may be an isolated problem as i too use Firefox on my MacBookPro with no issues.

    Yes, I'm familiar with the bug you're describing. It happens on Firefox and IE as well. It's only when reducing the screen width and it's not constant. That's what makes it so hard to isolate. It occurs on the front page because it's a separate software program written as a portal for vB.

    The reason I never addressed this is because I planned to create an entirely new front page, which was more feature-rich. But.. the days blend into weeks and I have to find a balance between the little issues and the bigger picture.

    Thanks for the feedback!
