Non-standard board HTML?

    All those popup menus for selecting the different forums crash together in the centre of the screen under OS X and Safari. Is it because they are some weird non-standard java or html thing? It's not very nice in any case. Could it be fixed?

    Great! Now that Microsoft's announced that they won't be supporting Explorer on Mac OS X any longer, do you think that you could whip the Boards software into shape so that those of us not using that particular software could navigate the boards more easily? :D

    Weirdly, Boards doesn't appear to display on OmniWeb at all.

    If it really want to use the menu but not IE on OS X then try out mozilla. You'll have to be patient wrt a fix.

    Would it help if I said "please"? :)

    I'm sticking with Safari and OmniWeb because they have excellent Unicode support. (I have already said my piece to Admin about UTF-8 support on the Boards.)

    It won't help particularly if you say please, I'm trying to sort this anyway and hopefully will make some inroads on it this week, but it isn't exactly a simple fix (actually, nobody has been able to help me in actually figuring out what the cause of the problem, so I'm testing an alternative option). I use a Mac myself. See the thread on the Macintosh forum about "speed issues".

    Still, please is polite.

    There's always the chance that Safari is misbehaving, I suppose.

    The popdown menus (at the top of the screne, below the User CP and other buttons) work under Safari 1.1.1 for the Minimalist style, but they still don't work for the Cloud style. However, they do work under Safari 1.2 beta.

    The menu updates were only applied to the minimalist skin because of some issues that the upgrade caused with Mozilla iirc.

    I guess the updates might be generally useful, then. They seem to fix a bug. ;)

    But I'd rather have UTF-8.
