When I mouse over any thread to get the tooltip, I get “Sorry, it didn’t work.” Huh? This just happened about five minutes ago - I have never seen this before, and this is the only machine I use for the SDMB. OS X 10.4.1 Safari 2.0.4 ---

Rebooted, new User, same thing… Firefox too. Anyone else? ---

Firefox 2.0.0.6, Win2K SP4, and no problems. Have you checked the page source to see whether it’s in there? ---

Nothing in the Source, not even when I export a forum page and break open the HTML. FreakyDeaky, man. Anybody know of another vBulletin powered site I can go check out? Any other Mac users wanna chime in? ---

Mac 10.4.10 Safari 2.0.4 works for me. Just curious, why haven’t you guys done the updates? Do you know something I don’t? They tells me to click the button, I click. ---

Can’t speak for the others, of course, but I have two drives in my Mac, with the second being 10.4.x client, and the one I use most often (which isn’t often at all). So, I rarely use the server install. Tonight, though, I just had that side booted up when I saw this thread. The server has been updated now, though. ---

I know what happened. It involves unreleased stuff I can’t talk about. (What a strange way to manifest itself though). Sorry if I wasted everyone’s time, and thanks for helping out.
