Safari will not let me upload an avatar for Icrontic.
I opine to upload one from my computer.
It's a50x50, 8KB, jpg, so the specs are not the problem.
I click Save Changes, and Safari navigates to:
(failed to open page)
*****
Safari can’t open the page.

...i have reported it to Apple and for some reason they haven't gotten back to me about it yet.

What version safari?

tmh88

This won't fix that problem, but install another web browser(firefox) for now. Then update safari.

Version 3.1.1 (4525.18)

oh, tmh: i def would but this is- at the risk of losing all future credibility i might have had- my wife's mac laptop and she's pretty anal about umm... everything to do with it. but yeah. if it were mine i'd b using firefox and this crap wouldn't happen.

It's a problem with the preferences in your ~/Library/Preferences folder, where ~ is your username/house or ~/Library/Caches. I'm betting if you logged in under another account it'd work fine.

To target it, I'd suggest moving the caches folder to your desktop, logging out, and logging back in to see if it still does it. If yes, drag the preferences folder out, if it still does it, drag out Internet Plug-Ins and Safari, all under the ~/Library folder.

If it works, delete the folder on your desktop. You may need to input some information again in the future.
