Default Now coming to you through Safari.

Apple rolled out the new version of Safari today for both Mac and Windows. I'm happy because I can't afford my new computer yet (an iMac) so the more Mac apps for Windows the better.

Please uninstall it ASAP. Safari is the biggest piece of shit ever when it comes to coding a website for a brower -- nearly as bad as IE, I kid you not.

While I agree that Safari should display it correctly, I wouldn't do as far as to place 100% of the blame on Safari. The front page of the forums don't validate at the moment, but that's still a lame excuse for it to not render correctly or at least close.

The main site on the other hand is 100% valid XHTML and should render perfectly.

The man speaks truth. I've pulled many a hair out of my head trying to make a site look exactly the same in Firefox and Safari. It blows. Worse than IE as far as web design goes.

That's a good enough reason for not installing it at all images/smilies/lol.gif

Seriously though, I don't see the point of installing another browser in my computer. Opera and Firefox work great for me.
