Why does Yahoo Answers cause my Safari application to quit constantly?
I have a great MacBook, and I love Safari, but the one thing that is driving me crazy is that Yahoo Answers (and only this site specifically!) causes Safari to crash almost constantly.
The Apple message boards seem to indicate that people are aware of the problem, but that Yahoo is unwillingly to fix the compatability issues.
Anybody else having the same problem or have any solutions, other than downloading another browser?
Thanks!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away... now I have an update from apple and Yahoo Answers dies!
http://nightly.webkit.org/ has the version of Safari that works.
http://getfirefox.com/ has another browser (sometimes better)
http://opera.com/ has a third.
All work in Yahoo Answers on the Mac. You just have to follow the directions.

Sorry. It's always good to have an alternate browser on your computer for such instances. Most browsers have some incompatibilities with certain websites. If you are determined to keep your own browser, make sure it's updated as well as your Mac system.
You can search on http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers to see if this issue has been discussed. If not, post a message about it.
