After starting safari and visiting a few different websites safari won't load any new websites but will load the ones already visited. Like once I visit yahoo it will allow me to load any yahoo pages. If I try to quite it it stops responding and I have to force quite it. This is really annoying any one got any ideas?

I cleared the history and reset it but still the same problem

Are you updated to the most recent version of Safari? What machine are you on? What happens after a reboot?

I'm running into this problem as well, with multiple users. Safari will hang after awhile trying to load sites, where Camino and Firefox have no problems. 10.5.5/Safari 3.2.1/PowerBook G4.

I've been having the same problem, was pretty bad this morning, but I rebooted and that seems to have helped. I have had more of these incidences since upgrading to Safari 3.2.1 than the previous addition. I'm using an Intel Mac Mini 2.0GHz

I had a similar problem - I deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and rebooted.

This did help some, but did NOT totally fix the problem.

When i open a thread with multiple pictures in it, Safari loads slow as hell and does not
load all the pics. I know it is an issue with Safari, because Firefox will load the same
url with no problems.
