Hi guys, I've asked Tech to take a look at Safari/Mac/iOS compatibility and stressed it's very high priority. I have no reason to believe that it's a content blocker, since we just use pop-ups to ask you to turn them off, not blank out your screen without telling you what's going on.
I am using ad-block with safari on my iMac and disabling/pausing ad-block allows the pages to load (and fwiw, without ads
)

glad to hear this, but I'm experiencing the same thing on a MacBook using safari. if I 'reload without content blockers,' I get the page loaded, otherwise the entire site is blank.
while I'm at it, here's another voice saying 'the orange reply button is distracting and intrusive.'

I agree.
Perhaps a compromise could be that they are colored yellow for the first few weeks they are active and then revert to just a regular white bar?

Hadnt considered the ones at the bottom. I was referring to the ones in each post. Quote and Quick Reply.
Regardless, the lack of consistency will be confusing also for new users and color challenged I would expect.

The main idea is to give users a more immediate, apparent reply option. I'd imagine most people wanting to reply to an individual post will just click "Quote"

Another here with this issue on my iPad with Safari. Pages display if I disable the AdBlocker but I will not do this as most Ad's on FT are really intrusive and make the site unusable.

general observation for the web/UI developers -- PLEASE DON'T PRESUME EVERY FTer ON A MOBILE DEVICE IS A "POWER USER" ... some folks simply may not have the ability to get to a laptop/desktop, but prefer the familiar look and feel of that interface without having to take less-than-instinctive actions to specially configure FT on their mobile devices
*********************
re the yellow "Announcement" bars: similar to the way the desktop version changes the font face from bold to regular when you view a page, would it be possible to remove the color after the user clicks on the announcement? that way only unread announcements would show in yellow ... that said, auto-expire of color after a week or so isn't a bad idea either
