Is the DN redesign broken on Safari (OS X)?

almost 8 years ago from Tristam Goch, Design Director @ Damn Fine

I'm not sure what's going on with it, and I'm surprised there's been no thread about it if it's not just me, but I've tried everything to no avail. OS X Safari just seems to hate the new DN. I couldn't upvote or comment, I couldn't create threads, I tried logging out and now I can't log back in. So I came into Chrome, and everything works perfectly. What's the deal?

I've tried disabling all extensions and I'm not seeing any major errors in the console, it's really bizarre.

Weirdly, everything works fine if I have the inspector open...

  I've had trouble submitting articles and commenting.

    Does it work when you load the page and then open inspector, or when you have inspector open and then load the page?
    The reason some things work with inspector open is opening the inspector forces a repaint of the browser (resizing your screen would also have the same effect) after all the elements are loaded. Sometimes its a oddity or a weirdly implemented spec on the browsers behalf, sometimes its due to loading things in a not optimal order on the website's part.
    I ran into it in Chrome about a year ago due to some webfont loading issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/css/comments/1ziela/problem_webfonts_occasionally_not_displaying/
    I do not use Safari, but I can tell you that testing and debugging on Safari today is a lot shittier than a year or two ago. This article pretty much sums up my thoughts on Safari at the moment: http://nolanlawson.com/2015/06/30/safari-is-the-new-ie/

  (2) Confirming that I also have no problems using Safari.
  I've actually swapped to Safari, simple because Chrome isn't doing it for me right now — the CPU peaks are too extreme.

Using Safari 9 I can't log in via the link at top of page.

I've also noticed on the IPhone 6 in safari the main menu horizontal scroller selection is borked.
I'll try submit a screenshot later.

My only issues have been mobile safari on iOS. I've stopped even trying because it was so wildly buggy... so it could be better now.

The only way I could log in was by clicking on a post first and then clicking the yellow log in button vs the button in the nav bar.

- 1 for submitting comments and articles. I reported this to their support team and I assume they will be looking into it.
