Comm center claims my post is too short

[Rob Hawley]

Since switching to the Mac and Safari Com center will frequently state that my posts are less than 10 characters. Since I have been posting I am usually able to work around this. This is a known problem?

Not that I know of. If you post only an image, sometimes the URL will be short. The forum won't let you post a message with fewer than 10 characters. If you can spot a pattern maybe I can post to the vBulletin forum... I know very little about this forum software.

I attached an example of the error. This time I am trying advanced posting. Annoying

Wow. Well I've heard of other complaints about Safari on Yosemite. I wish I could offer help apart from "Use Chrome".

[Rob Hawley]

The only other site I have had problems with is some poorly implemented features of my bank's website. I keep a VM running my old Windows 7 system for just such occasions. Still it is pain to turn it on. (and besides I would install FireFox anyway)

Chrome is free and seems to be by far the most W3C conforming. On the iPad, for instance, both Safari and Atomic Web browsers use the "WebKit" engine. Howqever, the secret sauce that Apple added to Safari has caused me some varying types of pain with the ACP UII depending on the iOS version... yet Atomic Web always works perfectly. So does Chrome on iOS and my old Snow Leopard OSX.

I used to have both Chrome and Firefox installed on my PC. I prefer Firefox because it securely stores passwords and I don't know what information Chrome is sharing with the Googleverse.

Anyway Firefox on the mac seems to work (and even fixes my problem with my bank) so I guess I will use that from now on for DC3. For everything else Safari is tied to my apple universe

I use MS Remote Connection to control the observatory computer so compatibility with the ACP web interface is not an issue.
