Safari/Yahoo Message Boards

Just up loaded the latest Apple Security update as of 02.13.08 and I am now unable to post to any Yahoo message boards???? There is no response from the Safari browser... Still works just fine in Firefox !!!
Any ideas ???? Thanks

I am having the same problem, and it is a pain in the behind. I use Yahoo Message boards all the time and now because I did the recent security update I can no longer post to them.

Not only does Safari not work, Internet Explorer also fails to allow me to post to Yahoo message boards.

Come on Apple fix the problem, or at least comment on it and explain what is going on!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but there is no one from Apple support on these forums. These are user-based. There also seems to be a problem with your caps lock key.

Has anyone in this thread tried: repairing permissions, dumping the Safari plist file(s), resetting Safari, removing any relevant cookies from the list (Safari preferences> Security> Show Cookies) -- I see one did -- using another user account to test; restarting the computer/network device; emptied caches (Safari and System)?

Just got back and ran APPLEJACK which dumps every Cache in the box, also reset Safari and dumped cache and cookies. Still no luck...I may stop down at the Apple Store here in town and try it there in front of a "Genius" and see *** is going on. Right now FireFox, Netscape, and Mozilla work fine, but I am also having the same problem w/ OnmiWeb no matter how I have the browser present to the web servers ?????. TBC

hey, this is good. first time I've ever used this board. hehehehe, thought I was the only one having a problem. I was posting to finance.yahoo message boards with 10.5.1/Safari. then, I couldn't post anymore. thinking about it now, the problem started right after I downloaded/installed 10.5.2 upgrade.
yes, I can still post to the yahoo boards using Firefox. I like firefox, so not much of a problem.

the problem is getting some response from support at yahoo(all down in the bunker, hiding from Bill Gates) and support at APPL(busy selling iPhones?).

hope this gets fixed.

thanks.
