website problems with mac

[searching007]

i recently bought a mac (apple) laptop and i use wireless internet. every time i visit this site or click on a post to view it, the web page just goes completely white. it says the page is done loading but theres just nothing there. :? then i click the refresh button and it reloads and appears. this weird thing only happens when im on this website..no other ones.

does anyone know whats going on or how to fix it????

this is completely inhibiting the fantastic experience this magnificent forum provides. :lol:


thank ya :)

Does this happen all the time... I mean everytime on this web site? what kind of wireless card do you have???

I'm no high-tech expert, but I'm guessing it could be either:
1. Your downloading speed it too slow,
2. Your downloading limits have been exceeded
3. You're missing some software through which to view the pages (Java, Flash, Applet, etc)

But don't take my word for it... Last time I had a Mac was 5 years ago, and I don't recall this happening to my laptop then.

Good luck with it!!

Hi there,

I have an apple mac computer and my guess is that you don't have the right software so you will need to download java because java is used a lot on her site. If this isn't the problem let me know and I will do my best to help you fix it. =)

i had a very similar problem with my macbook. it only happened with this site until i clicked a link to a thread with the words "4th dimension" in it and as long as that is typed in the url, i have no problems. (i use safari btw). just add this link to ur bookmarks or favorties or whatever and it should work fine:

http://ellen.4thdimension.info/index.php

im not sure if this will help, but let me know.

I have the same problem...but it occurs with a few other sites too. It only happens when im on the home page (for this site) and click a link. To get around it, i just opened a new window as you can in Windows by right clicking open new window.
On a mac, hold down the apple key + click the link. It will open up a new window. Not the most efficient way of doing things but at least you'll be able to read the thread, and its pretty cool to watch 3 different pages at the same time (press F9). I usually have webcam 2, this site and my Uni work lol.

Hope that helps in any way.

yup it only happens to me on this site.

i tried the "4th dimension" link first and that worked fine. if it doesnt for some reason later on then ill try the java download

you guys were great thanks for all the help :)
