Just had an email from themacdoc advising users of Safari under Leopard to have a look at

Not sure how many people use Safari to read RSS feeds? But if you don't want to use Firefox, you can also use Mail - I personally use a stand-alone application called Vienna which is free:- http://www.vienna-rss.org/


P.S. Hello by the way, I'm new here :-)

Greetings David, welcome to the Discussions.
I use[d] Safari for RSS feeds but am taking the precautionary route and I have moved myself to Firefox for the duration.

It seems that the latest update has fixed this problem - it is also OK for HSBC online banking again.
