The strangest think happened this morning! I was trying to post a reply in the thread about the vandals and each time I clicked on the post button, the URL would highlight as though it was trying to shake hands with the server, but nothing would happen. It didn't time out. It didn't post. Nothing. I opened another tab and navigated the site with several page loads. All seemed to be working fine. So, I copied my text to the desktop and restarted Safari. Same story. Navigation worked. Posting didn't. I tried other websites. All loaded fine, except Facebook. It locked up the URL the same way just trying to log in.
So in desperation, I restarted the computer. Now all is well! ? I've never seen this before. Any ideas? It must be related to security, but something is attwirp!

Hi Herb and WeatherCat Internet surfers,

Wish I had a suggestion, but I don't know of anything. Which browser do you use for routine surfing? (since it wasn't Safari.) The only thing I can add is that my former favorite classic Buick forum was found to have Trojan malware installed on it this morning according to Google spiders. Clearly forum software is coming under siege these days.
Oh well, . . . (http://www.canebas.org/Weather/LWC_forum/Custom_emoticons/shrug_shoulders_confused.gif)

Edouard, I use Safari all the time. I have both Chrome and Firefox installed, but I can't remember the last time I opened either one.
Maybe a subroutine of OS X crashed without error trapping.
