kicked out of safari

  • Unknown's avatar

    Just trying to load the “new post” page CRASHES Safari, every single time.
    Worked Friday, and every day before that.

    New Post won’t load at all on Firefox. Well, I gave up after 5 minutes.
    9:30 EDT.

    Hey, maybe they’re FINALLY fixing the:
    – damm layout
    – image tools
    – and everything else they broke with the 2.5 “upgrade”

    Hey, how about relying LESS on flash.
    I prefer my blog to actually WORK than be all whooshy and crap.

    Oh and Safari 2.0.4 here too.
    It’s a video editing machine so once everything works well,
    WE DO NOT MESS WITH IT.

    And it all worked before today (for me anyway) so WordPress has clearly changed something.
    i.e. they broke it.

    So , how about they fix it.

    Have you reported it? Do so via your Dashboard; that works fastest.

    I’ve written to Support, and they’ve answered that they are working on this.
    Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long to fix; I am losing blog momentum!

    Yeah, I’ve also had some issues with Safari. I was trying to learn more about this hilarious site I was checking out the other day called digitalfuntown.com, and it wouldn’t allow me to log in.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve reported it, but no replies.

  • We were just able to track this down to an incompatibility between Safari 2.0.4 and jQuery 1.2.5. We’re not sure why it happens, but at least we know where.

    I received a few e-mails this morning (I was out of the office yesterday) and WP found the problem which was with NEW code they had implemented. (what is it about “new” stuff being worse than what we had?)

    Anyway, they told me that they pushed out a “patch” at 1p on Tuesday.

    At 10p the told me they pushed out _another_ patch.

    At 11p they related “our ‘fix’ broke theme previews and theme switching, so we had to revert it.”

    No news since Tuesday June 3 at 11p.

    It’s still broke as of Wednesday 8a EDT.

    Grrr.

    12p on Thursday.
    Still doesn’t work.

    And no new e-mails from the WP folkes.

    How many days is it now?

    I mean, if you add new code and it makes the entire site completely unusable for an entire class of browsers, wouldn’t you just REVERT THE DAMM CODE? until you test it and come up with code that doesn’t break functionality?

    Or do you just leave it broken for days…
    Which is what they’ve done.

    What new functionality is so incredible that it is worth completely alienating all Safari users?

    I’m a Mac user, had OS 10.4.10. Everything that had to do with my blog worked perfectly with Firefox. Last few days Safari (2.0.4) would crash every time I opened the dashboard. Just downloaded and installed the 10.4.11 upgrade, which includes Safari 3.0.4: problem gone.

  • We rolled out new code to fix bigger problems with the old code (that’s why we didn’t roll it back). Several attempted fixes for the Safari 2.0.4 problem either didn’t work or caused other problems.

    There’s a bug report filed at jQuery but no results there yet (http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2974).

    well, for users who rely on Safari, and can’t go installing system updates that, like the jQuery update, cause other problems, we anxiously await a solution.

    A week and a half- still broken.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m having this problem also. I upgraded safari as was suggested somewhere else I was looking for ideas and although I was able to finally log in as soon as I tried to write anything I was kicked out again.

    If it helps in the meantime, I believe Camino and Flock work well with WordPress.com right now.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ma mac user, just joined WordPress full of enthusiasm for a new blog but Safari crashes constantly with it. I might just give up now before I’ve even written anything!!!

    meadowsage: Which OS and which version of Safari?

  • Unknown's avatar

    same boat – set up my blog swiftly on Windows on a work computer and then eagerly go home to my Macs, only to get depressed…….. dashboard without exception

  • Unknown's avatar

    Safari 2 is a problem, but Safari 3.x.x works just fine for me.

  • Unknown's avatar

    If you’re running 10.3.x, Safari 3 will not work for you (requires 10.4.11 or later), and in that case, the new Firefox 3 seems to work quite well.
