What Virginmedia's problem with Safari?
I'm a Mac user and the browser I mainly use is Safari.
None of VirginMedia's pages at all render on Safari - all come up with an error page. Very odd. All work fine with Firefox.

Re: What Virginmedia's problem with Safari?
It should work no problem as we support Safari as a web browser on Apple Mac's.
Sounds like an issue with your copy of Safari and you might be be well advised to re install it.

Re: What Virginmedia's problem with Safari?
I have several browsers including the Windows version of Safari on my laptop PC that is running XP Pro as I check websites developed by a friend. I have just checked the VM site on Safari, albeit the Windows version, and can find no issues at all!

Re: What Virginmedia's problem with Safari?
Try resetting safari. Click safari at top left corner and then click reset safari. Click yes or ok on the prompt. VM website should work fine after that. Please note you may lose the bookmarks saved.
