Issues with Safari
Since early last week I haven't been able to open any threads in Safari. I can open them in Brave, FF, and Chrome so it's not the base computer if anyone has a Monterey Mac can you check to make sure it works?

In the interest of not opening a new thread on this. I experience the same issue in Safari. I can see the forum lists, but when I click to see a post, it just shows up as blank. Other browsers work fine. Just Safari has this issue.

Has anyone looked into this, Bike Forums has the same problem with Safari on my machine. It really would be helpful if someone in the operation of this website found a solution!!!!!!
This has been a problem for months.
MacBook AIR
MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a)

Hi can you please post a screenshot of what it looks like? Also, do you have any browser extensions on when viewing on Safari?

Just like Germany_chris posted previously a blank screen with no error messages.

Once again these posts go ignored, why would I ever think about being a paid member here?

I'm not a Safari user, but I'd guess there is a way to view the dev console, just as there is in Chrome and its derivatives. There may be error messages buried there about files which can't be loaded or JavaScript errors of one sort or another. If you can get something out of that, post here. If it's a more general PHP problem (language in which the forum is written), you might be able to get some help there.

OK, played around with this some more and the problem is with my ad blocker, AdGuard for Safari and not Safari. If I pause my ad blocker, the site shows up fine, so looks like I need to adjust my filters in my ad blocker and I should be good. Thanks!

It's just today that I can use quick reply and not "go advanced" to reply in any browser in Windows or MacOS..

I think in my case it is a Duck-Duck-Go privacy setting that blocks third-party trackers.
Oddly, I also have it turned on with the Brave browser I am using at the moment with no problem, but turning that off in Safari on my laptop fixed the problem.

I've now got this issue on my laptop that runs Monterey (12.6.6) and Safari 16.5. Works on the others you listed. The link tries to load but never completes. It eventually times out. Disabling plug-ins etc hasn't changed the behavior. It works fine on an M1 mac mini running Monterey, as well as an old iMac stock on 10.15.7.
Here is the Javascript Console error:
This might be Apple's baked-in privacy setting.
