Safari did not like the change very much. It was displaying half of the old page and
that was it. I used firefox to see it. In order to fix safari, here is what i did.

1) in preferences, i went to Show Cookies (i forget which tab it's in but it's there)
2) deleted all cookies for anything with macosxhints.com (including the www.
ones)
3) went to macosxhints.com
4) logged in, then in preferences, i changed the theme to Hints1 and everything
worked. (so far)

Yea, there's something about the cookies in Safari that get munged when the theme changes. I'm going to ask someone on the Geeklog team about it tomorrow to see if I can somehow force a new cookie or something.

Thanks - this fix worked for me. However, I did try to change the theme from
"Hints1" back to "Classic", and it died again. Hitting the Back button, changing it
to "Hints1" and hitting Save fixed it again.

Classic doesn't really exist (yet) -- we had to put in a symlink to keep Google's links happy, since they have entries that are tied directly to that directory (not sure why). I've now hidden the theme switcher, at least until there really are some more themes.
