Out of interest, how does this site font appear on Mac? I'm using "Lucida Sans", "Lucida Sans Unicode" for windows and it seems to work quite well - I'm not sure of the equivalent for the Mac...

I think I can now also get the sidebar to be defined after the content and still have it layout properly - this is a good thing for those without stylesheets...

I can't reproduce in Firefox (it displays fine) and I thought it only occurs in IE. Guess I'll have to spend a little more time tracking it down...

No need to deinstall on the Mac - the new version imported all bookmarks, setting and remembered form values correctly. Hmmmm, what's new? Different icons (on the mac at least), still got annoying buggy password manager dialogs but now they do have the correct app icon. Seems a bit slower for me than 0.8. I'll still use it over Safari for barclaycard.co.uk but Safari wins out on 95% my visited sites for speed, functionality and OS-integration. P.S. Sam - your post page has some rather large vertical space (±1000pixels) on your post a comment page on Safari between 'Post a Comment' and 'Name'. So I guess that puts your site in my 5% that Safari renders incorrectly :-) You might want to check it in khtml as well. Regards, David Thanks for the tip Sam.
