Ocassionally, I'll click on a link, the page will load in place of the old page (not in a new window), and the "back button" will go gray. Delete doesn't work, and the only way to get back is through the history. Anyone else having this problem?
Got a tip for us?

Safari, what a crazy love affair we have.
I love how pretty it is and I love the speed
in loading. I love so many things about you.
What I don't love is all the crazy erratic
arbitrary behaviors you exhibit. The wierd
problems that you exhibit for no reason
only for short periods are wierd.
Safari, you are a moody girlfriend.

It seems to happen completely randomly, but if there is anything that mightbe related it could be gmail. Of course, gmail is the site I use most frequently, so it's impossible to tell. I think it was in gmail that I first encountered the problem, though, since then it's happened on some other random sites too. I use the latest version of OSX, and Safari, and I wouldn't know where to begin to hack anything but weeds in the yard. 😉 It sounds like this is just one of those thins, and I'll have to learn to live with it or find a less attractive but lower maintenence web browser!

I have tried resetting Safari, but it's tough to say if that does anything. The problem goes away for a little while, but it does that sometimes anyway. It still comes back. I'm really noticing it most in connection w/ gmail, though, so I think that's the culprit. I'm having some other weird gmail issues, so I'm going to start a thread about that. Thanks for the advice, though.
