Safari and the new MSN

[powermac]

I went to look at a car review on msn.com. It now says not compatible with this browser. Now what kind of crap is that ?

http://www.msn.com/

works fine for me in Safari and Firefox.

That's the msn.com (brought to you by the fine folks at Microsoft) crap. Send an angry missive to msn.com, though it won't do any good.

When I try it with Safari, it loads for a second and then takes me to my router setup page!!

Have a link to the page causing issues?

I tried a few different Auto reviews under Safari, all seem to work for me.

If all else fails, try enabling the debug menu for Safari and setting it to claim MSIE6 as the agent. See if that helps or not.

To do so, close Safari and open your Terminal. Then type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Hit enter, then close the Terminal. Launch Safari and the menu should be to the right of Help in your taskbar. To remove the debug menu, do the same as above only replace the 1 at the end with a 0.

Try looking at reviews by Motor Trend or Car & Driver. Their 'reviewers' have a bit more knowledge on the subject matter, and their pages work fine with Macs.

I tried setting Safari as my agent and it comes right back to my router page.

I just cleared the cache in Safari and it still does it.

I am going to http://www.msn.com

Set the agent to something OTHER than Safari. Ideally Windows IE 6.

Never mind, I found out that I had a web proxy on, but it only affected Safari and iTunes. Everthing else worked perfectly fine.

Thanxs all. It does work now. For some reason the other day it did not work in Safari. I tried in Firefox, and it did work. I dunno what happen, but thanxs!!!!
