Macbook fans/experts...help! Another "issue" making me want my PC back!

Has anyone found that certain features (for example, images or spacing issues) are not properly visible on their Mac computer, versus a PC? If I go to certain websites on my work PC I can see everything the way it is supposed to look, but then when I go through my home computer (Mac) things look different or are missing. Am I losing my mind?

Are you using Firefox or Safari?

different browsers will have different looks if not properly designed for both platforms (this was really a problem a few years back but not so much anymore.) If you are using firefox you will have no issue. Sometimes safari has issues vs explorer. You can always download explorer for macs too. Personally I like firefox on either my mac or pc.

I am using Safari but I have heard Firefox was better. I will try to download and see what happens, thanks!

I use Safari, but have Firefox available for the few times something isn't supported on Safari.

FYI, Macs rule. Chat Icon Give it some time. Chat Icon

it's a problem with the website design. when a site is coded it should be compatable with all the different browsers (within reason - some things like aol are no longer considered when coding) but a lot of web designers don't do it even though they should. a lot of people don't know what they're doing and just copy and paste code from other people's sites to get it to look how they want without knowing the mechanics involved.

your best bet is to make sure you use a common and updated brower. firefox is usually best. (internet explorer sucks, btw)
