    I have a site I'm working on, and instead of the usual IE/Firefox compatilibity issues, I'm running into a Windows/Mac issue. You can view the site here:

    http://younggogetter.com/wp/discussions/

    The logo at the top of the sidebar lines up just fine in both Firefox and IE in Windows, but in both Firefox and Safari on a Mac, it is a few pixels too high.

    Does anyone know what might be causing this? I'd rather not do this, but are there any Mac-specific CSS hacks to make this work? I know of the IE5 Mac hack, but this seems to be a problem on any Mac browser.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    were you able to solve your margins issue yet?

    Unfortunately not. On the main site, the margins are working fine. The problem is only in the forum (where I integrated the WordPress theme with Vanilla). They decided to go ahead and go live with the site even with this one small problem, so the above url won't work anymore - here is the new location:

    This probably wont help at all (cause I know nothing about Mac browsers,) but I stumbled unto this article. You probably are lucky enough not to have to worry about it since your client has launched the site. bakie

    Thanks for the link refueled, hopefully it will help. Yes, they've launched the site, but I'd still like to get this one little bug fixed...

    I can't help with the windows/mac issue, sorry sad but I'd suggest adding a "Skip to content" link at the top because at the moment screenreaders and those viewing via mobile phone etc. have a huge amount (long lists of Categories, Top Commenters, Archives, Our Pals) to listen to/scroll through every time they visit before the first post (currently "Meet the developer behind the latest YGG") appears.

    Also, when images are switched off (e.g. those on mobiles, slow dial-up connections etc.), the content text disappears

    It's such a really lovely design, shame to spoil it!
