    Has anyone else got the problem of the categories menu across the top of the page for Boards not working in Safari? In its place, as a single full width block is the 'Talk to' section, which offers the full range of options on mouseover. This doesn't happen on any other browser I use.

    Any ideas on what may cause it or how I can do anything about it?

    Can you send/attach a screenshot of this?

    I can't see what you're experiencing ...

    Also what version of Safari / OSX are you using?

    I've got Safari 5.0.5 running on OS X 10.6.8

    This is a combined screenshot - top as it normally is and lower image is on mouseover.

    Hmm I'm running Safari 6, It behaves as normal.
    I do have safari 5 on a windows machine - I'll test later for you when I'm home to see if I get the same issue.

    Also, Try updating Safari - You're using an old version of it and the last update for 10.6 was 5.12 i believe

    Enable the "Develop" menu and from it change the User Agent to a different browser and see if that changes it.

    Safari > Preferences > Advanced - Show Develop menu in Menu Bar.

    Also worth resetting Safari to clear out old cached files and cookies.

    One further note of interest - I've just reloaded the page and very briefly - for no more than a second, the full list of categories appear and then it immediately reverts back to showing only the 'Talk to' section again. I thought this was very odd that it appears then disappears.

    Edit. I posted the above before seeing your post, Zener. The develop menu has been enabled and the same brief appearance happens as described above.
