There are some syntax errors on archlinux.org. archlinux.de looks fine with safari.

Without an os x system, this is hard for me to see, let alone test.
If you can suggest any html/css changes to the pages in question, I would be happy to take a look.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//archlinux.org/ might be a start. Btw: You can use safari for windows to test.

If I had a windows box, safari for windows might even be useful.
;)

Based on that validation output..it seems like there is just a single extra tr element in there.
I will see if I can find it in the backend.

Found it. Fixed it.
Now the site validates.
It was just a single <tr> in there. Weird.

Did it help the safari rendering at all?

OK, it still looks strange on safari. It might be a problem with the google ads.

Ok. I took another stab at fixing the issue.
I got a hold of a mac for a few minutes. It is weird that half the times you refresh, it looks fine, and the other half, it comes out goofy with the title below the logo.

Anyway, hopefully this change helps the browser eliminate some..ambiguity.
