Is it me, or is the new/beta site more Mac/OS X/Safari-friendly? Smile

Looking forward to seeing the previous gallery/range of emoticons return... 

Well we've moved from a Microsoft-based system to an open-source one Wink

Which is perfectly adequate: have to admit I was timing it by looking at the 'pooter clock, not actually with a stopwatch or nuffink...

I actually think it's a bit long for the latest posts page (the forum landing page is fine), but I'm not going to change it till I tune the cacheing mechanism a bit more.

My account didn't seem to recognise my password so I changed it but it still didn't work with medium security. It requires 'high' - is it worth telling new members? Cheers. Smile

Don't think it does - my password isn't terribly high security...

Have to say it's not a problem I'm aware of anyone else reporting.

Thanks for the replies, Andrew & Clare, I'm using IE9, would that be the cause? I'll installe Chrome & Firefox to see if that help, although I'm one of the luddite minority that likes IE.......

Ok, the site works better with Chrome than IE9, I can do the point click type thing now, my sig has saved and when I hit the save button it works immediately, so I guess the new site isn't very compatible with IE9.....

Yup - IE9 issue. Fine in other browser. Cheers

Just to clarify - it tells you that your password isn't very secure, but doesn't prevent you from using it.

We don't support unreleased browsers (especially ones with 'Internet' and 'Explorer' in the title...)
