Bug What causes browser issues with starting new threads on Physics Forums?

[DrClaude]

While it might seem paradoxical that I start a thread to complain that I can't start threads, this is appears to be a browser problem. I have to use Firefox to post, as it no longer works in Safari, Version 11.0.1 (11604.3.5.1.1). For instance, the link https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/feedback-and-announcements.19/create-thread never finishes loading and the window stays blank (no error message). The problem appears to span all subforums (although I have not checked them all )

I've cleared the cache and cookies, but it hasn't solved the problem.

Edit: Some avatars are also missing in Safari.

Edit: This post was a new thread with Safari (11.0.3). I merged it with this thread now.

I can't reproduce your problem. Did you clear the cache? Are the two browsers on the same system?
Desktop vs. mobile version?

Yes, yes, and desktop.

I restarted my computer and it seems fine now.

I restarted my computer and it seems fine now.

I have had several problems in the use of computers after they had been on for several hours; I do not recall all the problems; but I too found that a restart of the computer cleared away the problems.
