We...... Need Your Help!
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
We've been tweaking some things here on the site recently in an attempt to improve load time and reduce glitches, but we're afraid this tweaking may have angered the tiki gods/gremlins/Blogger bogeys. And since every web browser presents a whole new fun set of complications, testing them all out is difficult.
That's where you come in.
Please, tell us in the comments if you had any problems loading, viewing or interacting with the site today. (This includes any RSS feed wonkiness.) In addition, if you don't mind, please let us know if your virus software or filters are blocking the site or any of the pictures. And remember, this is for posterity so, be honest.
Thanks, everyone!
Update: There are no images on this post and the link at the bottom of this post for Help for Haiti should not have an image either.
'Nother Update: Hey, Internet Explorer users! First of all, you really should be using a different browser. [grin] However, we know you don't all have a choice in the matter, so we're still working on getting all the IE kinks worked out. We'll update again when we've made more progress, but please be patient (and maybe try Firefox) in the mean time. Thanks!

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 371 of 371 Newer› Newest»For some reason the page is loading way slow and lagging today.
OMG, nothing but problems, I'm using IE, and it took me three tries to get in today, twice I had to shut down all my internet programs just to get out of your site!!!!!!
I'm using Internet Explorer 7 and the load time is REALLY slow. I've never had a problem before.
Loaded fine for me in Google Chrome with Windows XP. No problem seeing any images and it loaded very quickly.
Access was via RSS; no problems.
Loaded fast on Win XP with Firefox.
I use explorer and both today and yesterday the site froze up on me while loading. This has not happened before.
I can open a new windo and try again but the frozen one is stuck until I reboot.
Jen VG
No issues in Firefox
Trend Micro posts a warning: oascentral.blogher.org blocked - unauthorized URL
On a PC using IE 8 and everything looks good. However, I did not see a Hati link at the bottom that you mentioned in your update....
no problems here, now or ever. keep up the great work! i'm on a pc, using firefox.
This took a LOT longer than usual to load using Inert-net Exploder. All the pictures eventually loaded fine. And my RSS feed seemed just fine.
No problems here. Unless by problems, you mean baseball bats that resemble gentleman vegetables, or snowmen (the guy in the second row to the right, too) are flipping the bird to me.
Slow to load on chrome with a PC, but I can see everything once it loads
I'm on a Toshiba using Firefox (but not an RSS feed). Antivirus software is Trend Micro. Load times were slightly faster than normal (yay!) and there were no problems viewing the page or pictures.
I'm not having any problems at all. As some of the others said, the photos are even loading more quickly than they had been before and right now I'm using my HP netbook, which has only 2GB of memory. It's running Windows 7 and Firefox (whatever the number is of the latest one - I can't keep track!)
No problems today, but I have had some pictures not load in the past.
I'm running a high-end ASUS laptop with Windows 7(64) and firefox. No problems viewing, and the cake images still load even though I use the NoScript addon for security.
I am still not getting post titles on my blackberry curve.
Everything else looks the same to me. Load time is fine. I don't use RSS.
The titles don't show in column or page view. Very odd.
Alex
I'm using I.E. and Windows 7 and not having any problems.
On a PC laptop using Firefox. I first read of your post in my Bloglines reader (posted at almost 6 am)
Hope this helps. Oh! And using AVG Free as my AV.
Wonky bit when posting comment:
I always have to enter my password twice. Not the word verification or the email address, just the password.
I read your site at work and they have filters that prohibit the pictures from showing during "work" hours, but during lunch you are free and clear.
Hope this helps!
I've had no problems with your site. I use Safari.
Windows 7 OS and Firefox v.3.6.3
accessed through Cakewrecks.com
The only problem I noticed was when I click on "Choose the Cake Wrecks Cover!" (under More! More! More!) I get the error:
Page not found
Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog Cake Wrecks does not exist.
I'm on right now, June 2nd at 1:11p CST - everything loaded, but it's all crammed to the left side of the screen!
We have Internet Explorer, and today's posting came up more quickly than usual. And funny as ever. Bowling pin, huh?
Page load is VERY slow with IE7. once the page is loaded, scrolling is very difficult as well. Lots of starting/stopping.
After 3 minutes I gave up trying to get the page to load completely. The post showed up fine but all the little pictures attached to the comments refused to load, the comments themselves appeared on rectangular blue backgrounds with white in between the sections - like the layer was off or something, and my browser actually froze several times while trying to scroll through the comments- to the point of me starting to open task manager to shut it down. I'm using IE8 and Win7, and I know I'm in the minority as an IE user, however if I had been a new person to the site I would have closed it and not returned. I always use google reader to read the blog itself and have no problems.
Everything came up great in my google reader- normal as usual!
I have the latest version of IE- 9, 11, 12...I'm not sure what version it's up to- but today's page loaded slow.
On a PC using IE, read your RSS on Google Reader. No problems. Wrecks as awful as usual!
Oops, forgot to mention that I'm using Vista. So glad there are no problems for me! I need my daily wreck!
Using Firefox with NoScript (but I allowed cakewrecks.com. I cannot see images, just light blue boxes. I can click on the box and the picture loads in a new page.
I'm on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6 with Google Chrome and all is fine. Additionally, Google Reader seems fine too.
Hi Jen,
It's definitely acting squirrelly here -- took a long time to load, and then scrolling wasn't smooth -- very choppy, bouncing around, and it often doubled images. Of course, that meant TWICE the freudian nightmares, so that meant twice as much fun -- or appalled confusion, depending upon how you look at things.
I'm using plain old boring Internet Explorer (8, I think) if that helps.
Also, it works with iCab, Camino, and OmniWeb, although in OmniWeb and Camino the top ad is left-jusified.
No problem here. On PC, using Firefox with Google reader and have Verizon virus protection.
I have a mac book use safari and google reader. No problems.
On my MAc Book Pro it actually loaded a lot faster than it ever has. I use Safari as m browser.
actually loading FASTER and more completely than before - on an iMac using Safari
I only get a chance to look at this site at work and there are always pictures that don't show up. Only a box with a a little red "x" in the middle. It looks like we have Symantec Antivirus and the still haven't upgraded us so Internet Explorer 6. It did load a lot quicker than normal for me.
No problems for me for a Mac using Safari. I was able to get to the linked blog post for the first picture, but the 3rd one on this entry ('select the CW book cover') came back as "page not found--does not exist").
(WV: arkdo--seems especially appropriate for us here in Seattle today, drowning under the remnants of the cyclone that was in SE India a couple of weeks ago. Definitely need an ark here!)
This post was fine. The post before it didn't load all the photos on the RSS feed.
Mac running Firefox.
Chrome/Vista
All is well.
BTW, no Princess Bride reference ever goes unappreciated by me.
For the first time in ages I can now see your CAKE WRECKS heading. Keep up the good work!
No "Help for Haiti" link or pictures on the Google RSS feed, but all else is well. I'm on a PC with IE6.
Using Firefox on Windows Vista, no problems observed... And you get bonus points for the Princess Bride quote!! :) :) :)
Windows 7 on a high speed cable connection, using Google Chrome for the browser. No problem.
Well, it's later in the day, but no problems here. Firefox browser, AVG virus program.
All is tickety-boo & hunky dory.
I'm on a MacBook with Firefox and have had no problems with the site all week.
I'm running windows 98 with Firefox and AVG anti-virus. Everything looks great from where I sit.
Lysa
IE 8/Windows 7 PC: When I click on the "Classics" tab, none of the words of the links appear BUT the links are actually there (float over changes mouse icon from arrow to hand).
Loaded faster than usual-- no complaints here! (I use Firefox.)
--Ingrid
RSS to my FB page showed up fine, clicked the link and it loads about the same as it did. I'm using Mozilla, but I don't blame your site, my PC is old and tired and really doesn't like animated ads and such, or warm days, or random Tuesdays..or or or...:P
win7 and chrome here. all looks good and loads fast.
Dell laptop w/ Windows 7 & updated Norton, etc. All is well here.
I am using a mac with safari...it loaded much faster than it usually does. Thanks for updating..
I am using a mac with safari and everything seems to be hunky dory :)
I'm running safari on a mac with snow leopard and it looks great to me!!
I'm late answering, but everything seems fine at this point. No problems at all!!
On a PC using Google Chrome. Seemed to load faster - all looks good! :)
Showed up perfectly fine with Firefox for me! :)
Looks good and loads very fast on IE8.
I've opened it up on 3 different computers running 3 OS and in Internet Explorer and Firefox and all was good! Looks great!
I'm on a PC accessing via Firefox thru your FB link... I've had no problems today (6-2-10) accessing your site or viewing images, until this "We... need your help" post on FB this afternoon. Site loading was noticeably faster this evening. However, at the bottom, in the "more more more" section, I'm not seeing the 'Help for Haiti' image. Besides that, I see no problems.
HEY jen! I'm using firefox google and i've had no prob so far except that one of your MORE!MORE!MORE! links did not exist.....did anyone else notice this?
Definitely faster on XP/Google Chrome!
vista, firefox, on a compaq--loads like normal..tried it in IE8, maybe a fraction slower, but that could be many things...both look fine. And Janet, is that a Red Dwarf reference? If not, carry on. :)
I didn't have any problems, and it really did seem faster to me! I can't wait to see your next post!
No problems, except there was no "Help for Haiti" link at the bottom.
Looks great on the iPad with both wireless and 3G
It loaded faster than usual using firefox.
Using Firefox and Chrome, I had no problems. Using IE, the page loaded just fine, but in order to close my browser, I had to click the "back" button to go back to my main page before closing out the browser. I can't get the IE browser to close if I'm on the Cakewrecks site. I'm not exactly sure why. But, then again, I never use IE. I just was trying the site out on all the various browsers we have on our computer.
If I come onto CakeWrecks the normal way (thru your main page) there are no problems.
If I use the Facebook link to this specific post, my computer freezes up & I have to reboot to get the page to close. I'm running IE8 on my laptop
using Google Chrome, took a little longer to load than usual, but no other problems
I'm a PC with Norton 360 and using Firefox, and everything looks good to me. ;)
I am using the htc G1 on the android system and the page looks fine.
Windows 7, 64-bit, 6mg AT&T DSL that hardly ever works right... no problems here!
Everything has worked fine today, no problems.
Mimi
Win7 Pro 64 bit encryption
SeaMonkey & Firefox
1.5MB DSL
Wow! Loads fast! Nothing looks wonky at all. Don't you just love coding?
OH! - Using Firefox here!
Windows XP with IE8 and it was slow loading and scrolling after it claimed to be "done"... froze up for a bit.
Just pulled it up again with google chrome and had no problems... perhaps that's a sign for which browser I should be using.
Windows 7 with Firefox - looks good to me.
iMac with Safari; it all looks okay here.
I've had no problems, I'm on a Mac using Firefox. Your updates haven't given me any problems, though this one hasn't shown up yet--followed the link from FB.
on google chrome working fine
Google Chrome working fine.
Looks fine on Chrome and in Google RSS. I only use the standard windows antivirus and firewall..
Using a PC with Chrome and no problems viewing but of the three links at the bottom, the last two (pick a cover and Haiti) are dead.
Running Firefox 5.o with TrendMicro antivirus. No problems ever. Don't do RSS, though, so can't help you there. Please remove The Machine leads from my body now, I hear Miracle Max is on vacation.
You win for quoting my favorite movie. Princess Bride ftw.
One of the three More! More! More! links that showed up was to choose the Cake Wrecks book cover. It goes to http://www.cakewrecks.com/2009/05/choose-cake-wrecks-cover.html which my browser claims doesn't exist.
I didn't think anyone in the world was as much of a Princess Bride freak as me, but you take the cake! (oh, and everything was fine with the post even on my crappy work computer)
Looks fine so far!
I checked at work on Internet Explorer, no problems.
Before today I would often have to reload the page to see all the pictures.
I checked at home on Firefox, no problems.
~Christine
On a PC using Firefox...no problems! :)
I'm on a PC using Firefox and having no problems at all.
I was using IE last month and had no problems with that either.
My virus protector (Avast) is not trying to block your site.
It's working perfectly on my Mac running Firefox with AdBlock.
I'm on Win 7 on firefox 3.6.3 and it works fine for me.
Thanks for all you both do.
I use Vista and Firefox, and everything looks great!
It worked perfectly for me.
Today when I logged on I saw a bunch of weenie cakes. Is that normal?
It took a little while longer to load your site than normal.
I can see everything fine on an eMac with Safari.
All looks good here (as always). Using Windows 7 with McAfee.
Using Windows 7, Firefox, and Comodo Antivirus. Everything loads fine here! :)
BTW, awesome Princess Bride reference! :D
Firefox 3.6.3, Linux Ubuntu: loaded quicker than usual
No problems loading with Safari over here.
Read RSS feed on Firefox through add-on Brief. Everything looks fine.
On a PC with Vista and Firefox and everything looks great!
As you wish...
on a Pc using firefox no problems with loading or RSS on igoogle either. Looks great...
Good on a PC with Firefox.
I'm on a PC with Firefox and don't have any problems. I also use Bloglines reader and haven't had any issues.
I am, however, very disappointed that you are not bringing the book tour to Albuquerque. Come on, even Bugs Bunny passes through! :-)
Today it was slow to load and slow to scroll... (I'm on a pc with Firefox.)
all good here- I've got safari (macbook)
Windows/Vista/Firefox 3.6.3 - viewing is fine, but lately it doesn't take the first word verification. Claims I got it wrong, puts up a new word, I type that one in, and the post works. Loading's slower lately, but Firefox keeps hanging and my high speed seems sluggish so probably not you.
From Windows XP computer at work, Explorer browser. it takes 2+ attempts to post a comment (same process as above, but has been happening for weeks & often takes more tries). Also, on the comments page, I get a warning about untrusted information or something, and that's the profile pics for those who've got a profile here. Everything's slow, but that's definitely our IT department's fault (all websites load pretty slow, and since you have a lot of graphics... well, it keeps me off except at lunchtime ). If I click on an archived page, the comments don't show up until I do a refresh. Might be just because at work we're stuck with antiquated hardware & software...
I'm picking up a new Mac laptop imminently; I'll check everything out from there once it's up & running.
PS Country = Canada.
My computer screen freezes up , message....not responding!
Three times
Works OK, but the comments text written in black is hard to read against the dark blue background.(I think it's the first time the text appears black.)
everything seems to be working fine now, but yesterday I wasnt able to comment on the post.. The option just was not there at kaall...
Don't know if this is still helpful, but I'm on a Macbook Pro using Firefox (also sometimes Chrome, but I haven't tried it today), and the page loaded MUCH better today than it has for the past few weeks. Thanks!
Actually loaded faster than normal--PC running Chrome. Cake Wrecks rocks!
WV=dernia That'll learn'ya dernia.
I'm using a Macbook pro with Firefox. The majority of the site appears to be loading okay, but the header is eating the stuff underneath of it, so there's overlap for the first centimeter or two of the post/sidebar. This also left the same amount of empty space at the top. Otherwise, all good!
Firefox 3.6.3:
The day you asked, all was well.
Today, the site's been wreckorated.
The background/logo images have shifted down so that the links at top are in the title.
The background of the user posts is gone, making the black on dark blue hard to read.
No troubles with opera. Ran clean and perfect.
Using Firefox: Today I can't see any of the comments unless I highlight them (the text is black and it's next to impossible to see on the dark blue background
hi,
i'm all eager to give you feedback.
i use internet explorer version 6 (yes, out of date all right).
your page downloads slowly, but once i'm here, there isn't any problems clicking, viewing, whatever.
keep up the good job, you're just great.
Vista and Firefox with AVG and Zone Alarm here. No problems with anything showing up ever but now loading a lot quicker.
But really hard to read the comments now they're written in burgandy (?) on blue.
no problems with safari on my macbook
I'm using Firefox 3.6.3. on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 (I know, I should upgrade) and your homepage banner (where it says Cake Wrecks and it links to the homepage address) is positioned a bit low, so it's overlapping with today's post title...
Just thought I'd let you know!
Hey Jen and John,
Are you still tweaking?
Noticed two things today after reading the new post ... One, in the single post page that I get sent to from my Live Bookmark, with the comments listed below the post, the comments text appears black on the dark blue background. Names of people which are links show up in the light blue link colour, while names of people without links are black. I think previously there was a contrast box behind the comments, but I can't go back and compare now, can I ...
And two, if there was supposed to be an Epbot ad in there like there used to be, I don't see it now. For whatever reason, it's not appearing.
Still using Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows 7 (woops, not Vista) without any ad-blocking. The other ads show up fine.
Jean
Woops. Scratch the second part of my last comment. The Epbot picture link right at the very bottom loaded fine, just wasn't where I was expecting it!
I can't see any images when I use Lynx on Red Hat Linux!
(Please don't take this one seriously - Lynx is a text-only browser for non-graphical machines like servers and routers. I was trying to inject some geeky humor.)
On my PC at work, using Firefox, no problems...on my home PC, using IE, I could not get on...screen froze while page was loading.
I use firefox, have virus protection up the wazoo and have never had any problems. Love your site!
Hi, y'all, Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I really can't manage to read all the comments today. Since the change, the comment font has been light brown, which makes the comments really hard to read on my browser(Firefox)/OS(MacOS X)/monitor combination. Just FYI.
Yesterday everything looked normal but today the header and some of the titles are overlapped at the top of the page.
Thanks for the great website!
Well, when first asked there wasn't anything wrong. Now I'm seeing the header/title image looking all funky...like the "Cake Wrecks" title is sitting to low and is being overlapped by the "home, FAQ, etc." links.
MacBook using Firefox.
I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on a Dell laptop running Windows XP. The titles of the post bleed into the tagline of the Cake Wrecks logo, as does the transparent box thingy with the rounded edges that the title is in. I hope that makes sense. No issues with the posts in Google Reader.
I us IE and never have any problems with the loading of your site. HOWEVER, lately ( last month or so) I keep getting a pop up ad for Zone Alarm come across my screen about half of the time when I come here. It is one of those nasty trojan horse things that tries to get you to buy their "virus protection" by giving you a virus if you click on it. not sure if their is anyhing you can dxo about it but it is only you site that brings it up on my computer. I never click on it but it is irritating...
Using Firefox Version 3.6.3 on Windows XP Professional Version 2002. I'm usually accessing through my office's firewall and have had occasional problems with some pics loading....assuming that was a firewall issue. Haven't had problems in some time, but as the people above me noted, the Cakewrecks banner is dropped down a couple inches and the menu and "BlogHer" logo is on top of it. Otherwise, the posts and comments are looking great and loading quickly.
I promise to slavishly obey anyone who quotes Princess Bride right in the middle of a blog post. I use Firefox on a Windows XP operating system, and got the post originally via RSS in Google Reader. All is well in this collection of technology, and keep on wreckin'!
Using Firefox...no problems, everything loaded, however the title graphic is sitting behind text instead of above it.
The site is working ok, but in Firefox on my PC your Home and other buttons are appearing over the Cake Wrecks logo.
Using Firefox 3.6 on a PC, the Cakewrecks masthead is bumped down and the links at the top are overlapping it. Can't read them at all unless you highlight them.
Using Firefox 3.6 on Vista PC the pages load incorrectly. The top header area (presumably for ads?) is blank, pushing everything else down. The Navigation is in the middle of the "Cake Wrecks" logo and the top post is moved up on the page. Not pretty! Hope this helps (as of 1:32 EST on 6/3/2010)
I have to actually say things look great! I can actually see everything! Earlier I was not able to see the logo or any of the other fun bakground stuff! It also loaded faster than usual!
- yep, all is well on my systems. i use chrome, firefox, explorer, safari and opera on both PCs (via DSL) and iMACs (via cable). pages are loading great on your site.
the trouble these days is mobile browsers on smart phones, which i don't do... despite my need to try to "break websites".
i haven't read comments on here from mobile users besides the Droid (and the unresolved iPhone mentioned. if that works, then the iPad should too.)
it's been great seeing your blog/site evolve... and, again, thank you for the daily dose of wit, Jenn and John! (and tech-crew.)
doh!
forgot to mention my PCs are running XP and the iMac is 10.5.8
Hey, the header links (contact/faq/ect) are all up in the cake wrecks logo image for me when using Firefox today. It looks fine using Opera, except for the lack of rounded corners.
it takes a couple of tries everytime to get all pictures to load, though this has been a problem since wayyy back. safari mac user.
I'm on a PC (running Windows 7) using Firefox. There seems to be an odd gap at the top of the page (above the "Cake Wrecks" banner) and the "Home," "FAQ," etc. links are overlapping with the logo. Looks like maybe the background image got pushed down somehow. Hope this helps!
Noticed this morning (Thursday) on Safari for OSX, the banner is funny - the tagline and BlogHer buttons are squished into the CakeWrecks banner.
Using Firefox, on the first load I can see the page title and the CW logo, but the posts don't come up until I refresh the page at least once.
I'm using firefox right now and the top of the page is all screwed up... the cakewrecks logo is overlapping the text, etc.
I can't read cake wrecks at work anymore. For some reason this website is now flagged.
Bah.
Marlene
I use Firefox; today, the Cakewrecks logo is superimposed with the links and part of the title from today's post.
Your post showed up in my Google RSS yesterday, and it appears it was actually posted Tuesday?
Also the banner is dropped down into the post, if that makes sense. The Cake Wrecks logo is behind the links "Home Press FAQ etc." and the carrot jockeys are slightly hidden by the search field. It's like the posts are on a transparency and the transparency has slid out of place against the background.
Firefox, some sort of fancy Mac computer that they gave me at school
Actually, I have IE at work and Safari at home and it loaded faster than usual on both. Yay :-)
Marlene,
Hey can you e-mail us more information. I'm actually working directly with Google on this.
Thanks,
Jen
comments(at)cakewrecks.com
Use IE7 at work (sigh... no choice) and couldn't get the site to load at all. Couldn't load it yesterday either. At home on Firefox (and IE8) everything's fine for me.
firefox is showing (for me) the cakewrecks logo kind of low right now. it's blocking the navigation and i have a big blue bar at the top. not too distressing, though. i still got my wrecks :)
windows vista with explorer. not sure when you posted this, but everything is fine on my end. i don't think i have ever had issues with your site, come to think of it.
I'm using Firefox, and have had no problems.
I guess I'm late but... if it still useful for you, I've seen your blog using:
*Windows + Firefox = Good
*Mac OS X + Safari = Good
*Mac OS X + Firefox = Good
*Mac OS X + Opera = Good
*Ubuntu + Firefox = Good
*Ubuntu + Opera = Good
*Ubuntu + Midori = Good
In Firefox I use AdBlock+FlashBlock+NoScript and no problems. I also play with the settings a bit to make it quicker and it pays, though it's still quicker when I load it with Midori.
I guess you're still tweaking, because the comments now look great in Firefox 3.6.3/Windows 7/no adblock/Norton 360. :) Light blue link text, white comment text, mid blue boxes all appearing correctly. Also I haven't had any problems the whole time with the Cake Wrecks title picture alignment (and I like it a lot!). The ad above the page still aligns left on my wide screen while absolutely everything else is centred nicely, but no big deal.
Good luck with the tweaking, hope it's nearly finished!
Sometimes the page will not open and I get "This site is not responding" and it will sit there awhile before it finally loads. I'm using cable hookup.

WV: mentarm as in: I meant you no harm.
I'm on an imac using firefox, and am not having any problems with this site.
I don't have any problems with Safari on mac.
Everything works great here. I'm just purely excited to hear so many Princess Bride quotes and I wanted to share that.
Also,@Nicky, what's a droid?
Thumbs up for including Galaxy Quest AND The Princess Bride quotes. : ) Oh, and far as I can tell, everything's fine. We're all fine, here. Thank you. How are you?
...although, it IS going to take me a while to get used to only 3 posts per page. : /
LOVE the Princess Bride reference! I live for them! Also, no problems on a Mac with either Safari or Firefox.
