Safari/Earthlink Start Page Unstable

Can you post an URL that causes this problem. It all but hopeless to diagnose your problem without an URL to go by...

The URL opens fast and complete. Make a new user account and see if you still have this problem.

Safari 4.0 loading a blank page is a long-standing unsolved problem with 5 pages of discussion. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2064488&tstart=1.

I'm sorry you are having this problem and I'm happy to see that it is not just me. I thought I was losing my mind. I have the same exact problem and I also have earthlink. Have you found any fix yet?

Add me to the list. It ONLY happens with my.earthlink.net. I get a blank page most of the time. Then I click on the 'reload' arrow and the page comes up. BUT, if I click on something within my.earthlink.net and then click 'back', the page comes up but freezes....no hyperlinks are clickable...but I can scroll up/down. I have to reload again.

I even did a clean install of OS X; ran 3.2.1 for a week or so, then upgraded to 4.0.3. Same poopoo all over again. I've probably sent 15-20 'report bugs'. Again, it's only with my.earthlink.net and NO other web sites. I guess I can take drastic measures and contact Earthlink. Somebody in India probly knows the answer.

Yeah, right.......

I 'contacted' Earthlink. Actually, 'support...live chat'. Here's the great advice I got...
.....Hello, I'm Dave. I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.3. Since upgrading from Safari 3 to Safari 4, my start page...my.earthlink.net loads blank pages and sometimes freezes. NO other links or web sites do this. Does Earthlink have any info or fixes for this? Thx!
.....3 min wait ensues....says "hello, may I help"....

Solomon K: Okay, just try to click on the link given below and try to access the home page:
Solomon K: http://my.earthlink.net
....I almost spewed; did he not read my question?!....of course I got a blank page again....

Solomon K: May be there is some problem with the Safari 4 browser you are using.
.....I almost responded, "Duh!" ....but held my tongue as it were....

Solomon K: The only option to fix the issue is to install any other browser in your computer.
Solomon K: I am sorry Safari 4 is a new browser and some time you will have compatible issue with it.
Solomon K: So the only option is to install a new browser.

....I responded...'so you have no idea?...thx...night-night' ...

Incredible. I could call, but the problem with phone 'support' is I'll no doubt get the same type person and answers. I reckon since this issue has persisted for so long (with many other users), I'll just revert to v3. Can't say I din try.

David --
I just opened your homepage in 2 secs with Safari 4.0.4.
I used to have Earthlink too. A long time ago.

I also am experiencing the same problem. It started after I installed Safari 4.0. The only page where this problem occurs is the start page. Usually, reloading the page works, but sometimes that takes more than on try. Yet, sometimes the page does load correctly on the first attempt; it is very unpredictable.

Has anybody found a cure for this problem? Ever since I downloaded version 4.0 I get a balnk page when I try to access my Earthlink start page. Earthlink claims it is not with them but with Apple.
