I have been having some problems with Safari on macrumors and spymac. many times when i post, usually every other time it messes up. this is what happens. i just click post reply and it starts to load and hangs up. i let it sit and and it times out. now if i just click post reply, click back button, then forward button, then click post again it works fine. this happens on my powerbook and powerbook at home. it also happens when i take my powerbook to work, so i dont thinks its my internet connection or anything. anyone else having a problem like this, i understand this is beta software, but it seems like safari didnt always do this when i first started using it in january.

i've had some wierd issues with it too.
i've experienced the posting thing you talked about, but only a few times. it's not really been a recurring thing, but i have noticed a strange redirect issue. i'm not much of a programmer, so i wouldn't know where the bug would be, all i know is this:

posting has an auto-redirect from the "thank you for posting" thing to the post itself, and two other sites i use have generic .com addresses with auto-redirects to string urls. these sites all go blank when i click send or on a link, sometimes they pop up on refresh, others they don't.

another wierd thing: apple.com often "cannot be found" on my first click, and is always found on the second. (and i don't think there is a redirect on apple.com).
