Website Failure on Safari for Mac #42

Closed Sparatan1 closed 2 years ago

Sparatan1 commented 2 years ago

When I attempt to access the website on my MacBook Pro through Safari, the page fails to load due to a problem repeatedly occurring. It still loads on Google Chrome and on Safari on iPhone as well, but I was wondering if this was a problem you were aware of and can be easily fixed. Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I do not experience any problems when I visit the site on Safari. If you can provide some details (macOS version, Safari version, screenshots, JavaScript console output), that would help in diagnosing the issue you are experiencing.

I'm running macOS Catalina (v. 10.15.7) and Safari v. 15.0. I'm unsure what you mean by JavaScript console output but I opened the inspect HUD in the attached screenshot.

The JavaScript console is the second tab in your screenshot, next to 'Elements'. It would be helpful to see any error messages that might get logged there.

I did some quick research and it looks like that particular version of Safari is known to have some problems with it. Some more info here, see if this helps: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253165554

Yeah, I found the same out yesterday; unfortunately, I don't have the space to upgrade to Big Sur and the Safari reinstallation alone didn't fix the issue. Attached is the code of the error page in the console tab, but I assume this is indeed an issue with the current version of Safari on Catalina and I'll have to make due with Chrome (I use your website for YouTube videos, if you remember me from about a year ago) until Apple releases a patch. I'll leave the issue open though if you do find anything of note in the screenshot. Thank you for your help.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any further information about the issue. Hopefully Apple get their browser fixed.

Hi again, I just released an update to FlagWaver, version 2.0.1, can you test again and see if there is still an issue?

Sparatan1 commented 2 years ago

It works! Thank you, this helps tremendously. Thank you for your prudence towards your website and users.

Glad it worked out!
