Has anyone tried posting on Internet Explorer from a Mac? Its undoable, you can never log in, I have sat and entered a password for 10 minutes straight, moved over to my PC, and had it work instantaneously. I then went to a second Mac and had the same problem. Similarly, the layout of the forums looks horrid under Lynx. You end up scrolling 4 pages between every post.

I hate to say it to you, but most of the web programming community is not coding their pages for Lynx.

Not being able to even read the things because there are so many spacers is quite atrocious, at least most pages are viewable in lynx.

We do not code for lynx. It is no longer a browser that most developers program for. IE under MAC, well for the most part issues with that you can thank Microsoft for. You probably didn't know this but the MAC version of IE is not coded in conjunction with the PC version they are completely separate. I will do some digging on the MAC issues, but I know in the lab logging in and posting work. Thanks.

It'll allow you to login via the tab up at the top that says "login" but it wont allow you to login when you post. (like if you wanted to post in just one thread and leave, it wont let you do that in mac...)
