Hi all,

luckily I am using Macs myself - unfortunately I didn’t notice this issue since I personally prefer Firefox over Safari on Mac OS X.

Anyway, I tried everything myself and narrowed the issue down to the primary cookie being created - the cookie name being used in LUGNET apparently is not very much to Safari’s liking, however since cookie naming is embedded deeply in the code, this is not changed easily.

I will try to change the name of the login cookie to a name that will be accepted by Safari. I will update you when things are fixed. In the meantime, your best bet would be Firefox which I have found is a very useful piece of software on all operating systems.

Regards,

Jerry
