Logging in with Safari?

Hey folks, I just downloaded Safari V1.0 and i'm having a heck of a time trying to login ot the site through it. I've tried logging out of the site from IE for mac and still get nothing. Anyone have any suggestions?

How did you post then?

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

Open Safari's preferences and go to the Security preference pane. Click on "Show Cookies." Find all of the cookies from "www.coasterbuzz.com" and remove them. Then log in; it should work.

I know CoasterBuzz worked fine in Safari Build 95-98, but broke in 1.0 for some reason...but nuking the appropriate cookies seems to fix it.

BTW: Safari is good, but there are still a few things it doesn't handle right. For those few things, I suggest Camino as an alternative (www.mozilla.org). Camino is actually still faster than Safari at least on my machine, though Safari is now Apple's standard browser. And it's worth noting that IE, which is a worthless dog of a browser under OS-X, has been officially declared dead by Microsoft...that is, there will be no more updates to the MacOS version of IE. Having used IE, Camino and Safari, I say "good riddance."

Dave,

My sentiments exactly... Unfortunately, i had to go through IE to post my lil' problem. Thanks much for the advice.

I use Safari also, and when I had a similar problem, Jeff told me about the potential cookie issue. Lately, my login will not stay cached, but I can still log in fine. Just now I cleared the Coasterbuzz cookies, and logged in fine, after I remembered what email I registered under:).

Safari is great, but like SFWoA, there is still work to be done. My favorite feature in terms of usefulness for CB and GTTP is the pop-up blocker. I just hope that doesn't take too much away from the revenue stream.

By the way, considering this site (and GTTP) is run on a Microsoft Server, I noticed when I got the Mac (and Safari) that things that did not always work right in IE 6 for Windows worked on Safari, though I don't quite remember the specifics.

Thanks Jeff for the support for us Mac users! Maybe one day you will leave the dark side:).

Actually, there is a lot of stuff that doesn't work in IE-6 (obviously Windows because IE-6 doesn't exist on any other platform) that works fine in Safari because Safari is standards-compliant and IE-6 is not. Trouble is, there is also stuff out there that works ONLY in IE-6...again because IE is not standards-compliant.

Jeff did something with the servers on Friday, because I've had to log back in to both CoasterBuzz and GttP using both Opera (Windows) and Safari (Mac) over the past couple of days, so Sam, you might not be running into a login caching problem, but rather Jeff's apparent login reset.

You're right, Safari still needs work. It's odd that its browser ID string claims that it is "like Mozilla" even though technically I thinkit's KDE under the hood, and Camino...which IS Mozilla, is slightly faster and slightly more compatible. But both are about as standards-compliant as Opera under Windows, and so both SHOULD work anywhere.

Yeah, I had to log in again as well with MSIE 6.
