Every time I would like to post to craigs list, using Safari, I get to the verification page (where you have to type in letters) and then I click 'continue' and it comes back that that I have entered the information incorrectly. But using IE (via parallels ), it just works. What gives? anyone else have this problem? a Solution?

I don't recall having that problem with Safari, but I do know Firefox will post to Craigslist without problems. That would at least save you from having to run IE in Parallels.

I've posted to Craigs List tens of times with no issues. Do you have some proxy server or something -- e.g. Pith Helmet or custom CSS which may be interfering?

haha -- sorry -- "tens of times" is kind of funny.

Not sure about this problem, but it does still amaze me the big sites that still don't fully support Safari or Firefox. I run into that a lot with little upload tools for photo sites etc, so instead of doing a whole bunch at once, I have to do them one at a time. ugh. anyway, OT, but "tens of times" is great.

i run an ad daily on craigslist, from safari, os 10.4.9, and no problem.
AND i am using pithhelmet...

you haven't locked the cache folder for safari?
not sure what's wrong; try creating a 'test' user and see if the problem still occurs...

I too, can't post with Safari, so I use Firefox. Safari works for the text but chokes on the image upload.
