Lion 10.7.5 Safari 6.0.2 Extensions OFF

The article/comments Login button does not work in Safari ironically - but does work in Chrome.

All the "other buttons on the page work - More - Add Your - Oldest - Newest - Most Recommended

If one does Login from elsewhere on the site - then it becomes an "Add Your Comment" button - which ALSO does not work.

Sad really that Macworld cannot design a site that is Mac/Safari friendly.

Started with Apple IIe and have owned Macs ever since!

Long time Macworld poster here (flown): tried to post but could not log in using MacOS X 10.8.2. This is just another episode in a recent but long running issue. Not sure what the objective is but the effect is to thwart contributions. I doubt that this is the intention but ....
My intent was to post to: http://www.macworld....ml#comment-form with:
I think that your approach has merit as a discovery technique. In the early days of email, I would compose, send and retrieve email via a command line to better understand how it worked. Then, I discovered Eudora and moved along. I once created an AppleWorks spreadsheet to do a full suite of descriptive statistics to improve my understanding fo both statistics and spreadsheets. Then, I moved on to apps like R.
So, go for it but stay tuned for the moment when this tactic no longer serves you.

I can't login on the front page either although it has remembered my login here.

I cannot log in either.

Even 1Password is not able to log me in when set for auto submit.

I have been having issues as well, couldn't log in with three different systems and browsers. Have posted from a mac that had the login saved.

I want to piggyback on this. I can only login (on my work PC) with Chrome and Firefox and I can only comment in Firefox.

Funny, I can only get it to work with Safari and not with Firefox. I can enter my name and password but the "sign in" button has no reaction to being clicked. It changes color when I mouse over it, though.

Cleared cache.
Cleared all Macworld cookies.
Restarted Firefox.
No difference.

There are enough of us complaining here, Macworld, that you maybe ought to look into this. Hey, how about sooner rather than later?
