Post subject: Problems to see shexpat site on a mac

Hello, perhaps someone can help me?

My friend back in homecountry would like to start browsing shexpat for ideas and jobs before she comes here and joins me.

Problem is: it doesnt work on her imac. The page opens alright but as soon as the header comes out it closes down agin, and you get a message like: "safari couldnt open the page, want to try again?"

I cannot be of any help as I am a PC user but could anyone out there tell us what is going on? It only happens with the shexpat website, the rest of the sites open perfectly.

Thank you!

Michael

I know there are other people with Macs on this site who do fine. Does it happen on every page? I am not sure if all the other Mac users use Safari. When we did the upgrade, we did test it on Safari on the Mac ( and other browsers) and it seemed to work fine.

Perhaps you could ask her to clear her browser cache of all the shanghaiexpat files - especially the style sheets and see if that helps. We did have some problem with people caching old stylesheets, but it did act exactly like this in that case.
