on some pages i can open fine with my PC, i notice on safari the page doesn't fully load or takes forever to load, and a lot of the images just end up being little blue boxes with question marks in it. the status bar on the bottom of the page says it's loading but it takes forever. on firefox on my pc it doesn't have any problem loading at all. even using firefox on the mac it's slightly improved but still doesn't completely load. is there any tips you guys could provide to explain what's going on?
 
it's mostly on pages where there are lots of imageshack thumbnails which fail to load, but they load fine on my pc.
 
In your example, Safari doesn't load the map properly but loads the rest of the images correctly. Is this the same for you?

The weird bit is that I find Safari is fine with regular Google maps. Thanks for the example. I'll keep looking into it.
 
I find Safari useless a lot of the time, in fact there are days I wonder what all the fuss about Macs being so good is, the software all seems to have been designed by computer geeks who have no concept of the real world outside of computers, in this I include iPhoto and iTunes, both have so many deficiencies and cannot handle simple tasks efficiently, kind of a scaled down variation of what Microsoft users have to tolerate every day.

I get the same problem with Safari, it refuses to load images sometimes (where Camino will).

It also has an annoying habit of saving pages with a location descriptive, not the original page url, so when you open it later you have no idea where the original page was online. Another brilliant design concept is that you can't open the page unless it is in the same location you saved it, I mean what kind of idiot designs a system like that!!!

Yes, its one of those days :)

That's exactly what I see. And as you say, Google Maps loads correctly. It is strange. Thanks for the verification!!
