"Apple Discussions" links fail in Safari 5.0.3

In Safari when I try linking to a topic from within any Apple Discussions forum, or try any other links from within a forum, I get a blank page. No such problem in Firefox (from where I'm making this post).
Not a disaster, given that I have Firefox, but puzzling.

Hi Duncan...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Apple cookies.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
Emptying the Safari cache more often may help also. Command + Option + E
If nothing above helped, Reset Safari from the Safari menu bar. Select the top 7 buttons. Click Reset.

Logging in to "Apple Discussions" doent work with safari...

Every time I try to log in to this page with safari I come to some "Create New User Account" page, even though I already have this account.
What I have to do is boot up Firefox to be able to post this message. Does anyone know why?

Apple use Jive as their platform, and it doesn't accept accented letters. It's annoying and one would hope that will be fixed when Apple roll out the new Community Discussions. But for the time being, you will have to use un-accented letters to log in with Safari.

Discussion link failing to to # being replaced by %

Just got my iPhone & loving it.
I subscribe to a lot of the discussions so I can learn more but I have found when the link is clicked from the mail program, the Safari program is opened up but the discussion thread isn't displayed.
On further inspection of the link it seems the # in the link has been replaced with a %. Any idea how I can change this behaviour ?

It's been a problem for many months now. I thought they had it fixed back in the summer.

Chrome v safari; Apple discussion look different

My Chrome version of the Apple Discussion look different to Safari ??
The headers for the discussion have vanished ?

There seems to be an ongoing issue with the topics not showing. Try restarting the browser, or clearing your browser caches and trying again.

Issue with setting up an account for Apple Discussions

Off and on for 4 or 5 years I have posted questions or responded to them the in PowerBook G4 15" Titanium section. Then a couple of weeks ago I tried to log in and was informed that my Apple ID had been disabled for security reasons. I then created a new Apple ID and password and had no difficulty logging in with that. However, to post in the Apple Discussions I was prompted to create a new account for that purpose. When I filled in the fields, checked the box agreeing to the conditions, and clicked the Submit button, I got no error message, but the "Create New Account" screen reloaded and I still couldn't post. Clicking login just brought up the same screen again. After trying and failing to create a new posting account off and on over a period of a week I finally went to the Seattle Apple Store to see if they could help me. The first employee kindly went through the steps with me three times with the same baffling result. Finally a second employee helped me and was successful on his third try (I thanked him profusely!). However, even he could not identify the problem because no error message ever appeared. Was I trying to use an alias that didn't work for some reason? Does the Other Computer Information field need to be filled in even though it looks optional because it doesn't have an asterisk? Is the secret to get help at an Apple Store? All just FYI.

Thanks, jpfresno. The Apple Store guy also suggested that the alias I wanted might already be in use, but evidently that wasn't the case.
At this point I should clarify that my account issues have been fully resolved. The point of my post is a larger issue--usability of the Create New Account screen. The fact that neither I nor two Apple Store employees could figure out why attempting to create a new account for Apple Discussions repeatedly failed was due to lack of feedback after clicking the Submit button. I would normally expect to see a message like "This alias already in use" or "This field must be filled in" but there were no messages of any sort.

Safari balky only on Apple Discussions

I use Safari almost exclusively and generally it works fine. It seems to me that recently I am having to reload many of my hits on Discussions which just spin (or don't even spin) and don't load. Anyone else having this problem?
ds

yes - lots of us.
there was a reply to a question from me on this board saying it was an apple discussions software problem & would hopefully be fixed soon. Apple are certainly aware of the problem.
I have found that logging out to browse here makes it much faster, & have fallen into the bad habit of double clicking every link - which does seem effective ( not if opening in a new tab, of course).
worst is questions/answers not being sent - refresh doesn't work for those & I often have to copy my reply - go back - hit reply once more - paste - & try again.

Safari (only?) errors with Apple Discussion Pages

I have been having connection problems with my ISP -- intermittent inability to load web pages or Widget updates, etc., or just very slow loading. It is extremely intermittent: over the space of an hour or two it can go from full speed cable to near zero to flat out dead.
Complicating things greatly is that sometimes, during the slow-but-not-dead periods, Safari refuses to load Apple Discussions pages at all, displaying error messages with or without an number number, but always saying the connection was lost. Sometimes this is after a minute or so of trying to load the page, which I attribute to the slowness of the connection, but other times it is immediate. When this happens, retry or going to another page with a link back to the first page & trying that continues to get the error immediately.
IOW, Safari won't even try to reload the page. I have tried emptying the cache, but it doesn't help. Other pages will load, but slowly.
At this point, I can get the page to load by copying the URL into Internet Explorer, so I know the page is available & the connection, although slow, is capable of sending the page to my computer.
Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior? Or better yet, a way to convince Safari to try to reload the page?

We have 2 iphone 5s sharing the same apple ID. When browsing Safari on one phone it automatically sends a link to that page to the other phone. How do we turn this off please?

It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

How to post a link (URL) in "Apple Discussions"

You can shorten your links (URLs) by using HTML coding.
This is preferable when the URL is very long. Posting the entire URL can extend the width of a post beyond the range of many computer screens. This can make a post difficult to read, as it necessitates sideways scrolling.
This is the format to use:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
The quotation marks are necessary.
This link Search Apple Support, would be formatted like this:
<a href="http://search.info.apple.com/">Search Apple Support</a>
The title can be anything you choose.
To avoid typos, it is helpful to go to the web page you are linking to, and copy & paste the URL from the address bar of your browser.

Safari 4.1.3 issue with Apple Discussions

Several times yesterday and this morning, and continually this evening, I have got the redirect URL below when trying to get to Apple Discussions (index page, or directly to any of the forums I frequent) using Safari 4.1.3 on my iBook G4, running Tiger (10.4.11).
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=97
"We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon.
Until then, please visit http://www.apple.com/support"
(This one was collected just now.)
Yet, as is obvious from this post, and a couple I've just made in the numbers '09 forum, Apple Discussions is not 'temporarily unavailable' using Firefox.
And Safari 5.0.3 on the iMac (intel, running Leopard v10.5.8) also connects successfully.
I've cleared Safari's cache, but haven't taken any further steps yet.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Regards,
Barry

Deleting cookies coming from discussions and restarting Safari solved the issue.

Do I have to login every time I access Apple discussions using Safari

Is there a way to stay logged in on my Apple ID on the Apple website.
Each time I launch Safari and go to Apple Discussions I have to manually login.
I seem to remember in the past I didn't need to do this, maybe on older OS X, maybe I've changed a pref inadvertently.
iMac 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.25 GB RAM

Just to add to the information already provided:
I seem to remember in the past I didn't need to do this, ...
Yes, that was correct. In an older version of the Discussions forum you used to not have to login all the time, but the forum administrators changed things about 12-18 months ago.

Safari won't reply to Apple discussions

I've been making much use of Apple Discussions recently, however when I open that in Safari on my iMac (Snow Leopard) when I try to reply to the last, or any post I click Reply and nothing happens. So I have had to switch back to Firefox as my Default browser. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Bernard ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Deselect all the boxes except for Remove All Website Data
Then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari, login to Apple Support Communities then try the Reply button.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums. I need to log on with Firefox to wright this massage.
Do you guys have any clue why I can't log on with Safari?
My current version of Safari is 5.0.3

Good advice, Dixmaxim.
If you still have problems after getting rid of the cookies,
check back to see if your real name or password has any accented letters,
like ø, etc. If so, replace with un-accented letters. Just a thought.
This has been happening for several years now, and it is very embarrassing.
I would have thought it would be fixed by now.
