Deeply weird – technical help please!
When I look at this site in Safari, any time I run my cursor over a hyperlink – text or picture – it immediately disappears. It seems, however, to be fine in Firefox. Any explanation/fix would be much appreciated.
The site also seems to be very slow for reasons I’ve been unable to identify, although it might have something to do with the spam blizzard that seems to be currently raging – I’m getting about 50 spam links an hour. Aksimet – lovely little plug-in – is catching most of them, but the odd one is sneaking through. I’ll catch it eventually – in the meantime apologies for the “gay wrestling” links and their ilk sometimes to be found in the comments!



This is a widespread problem right now. I thought it was only affecting Blogger blogs, but I guess it’s more common. Something to do with Adsense, though, I think. See Bitch PhD for a discussion of it and work-arounds.

Yep, it’s weird for me too in Safari. Went to FireFox to comment, and all is well. Sorry I don’t know what the problem is.

I don’t see any problem in Safari. (Or Firefox.)

I removed a blogads proxy adverts link, which seems to have fixed it… although I don’t currently have access to Safari to check.

Natalie–the problem seems to have cleared up. I’m reading you through Safari and there seem to be no disappearing links. Hooray!
