I have be editing a PostNuke site on a Macintosh (sunsetproject.com) and have encounter a problem with disappearing blocks, which is caused by the type of browser I’m using.

When I edit an existing block, even if I just click “commit changes”, it disappears. I’ve got a friend on a PC who has to edit the block and “commit changes” in order for it to reappear.

It was suggested that I stop using Explorer and try Safari. Safari worked for a few weeks and then, just like Explorer, it too caused the blocks to disappear.

I started using Mozilla which worked fine until after a few weeks also. I then tried Camino but it did not even start to work.

It appears to me that the Macintosh browsers, after being used a number of times, corrupt the information in blocks. Re-editing the block on a PC fixes them.

Does anyone know what could cause such problems with Macintosh browsers?

I use Safari and IE all the time with none of those problems. I doubt it is a problem with any mac browser specifically. You may have specific issues though - I suggest you check your cache settings.

I did trash my IE preferrences, which would have reset the cache settings. Is there one particular cache setting I should 'click'?

well - you probably want to 'clear' your cache (browser history).

It has made no difference clearing the cache.
What version of IE and MacOS are you using?

the most recent versions of everything.
