hiyayaywhopee:As far as this particular issue goes, I'm pretty sure it's not the browser. I'm using Firefox 3 on Mac OS X with my preferred language for displaying pages set to Esperanto, and it has absolutely no problem remembering that I have lernu set to English.Macs just work though

ceigered:Macs just work thoughExcept when they just don't work, and you can't do anything about it. I still have bitter memories about the time I was house sitting for someone and used her Macbook. Wow, it crashed constantly. I mean, I remember those old Mac commercials that advertised that the Mac is so wonderful that it never gets a blue screen of death. Well, let me tell you, it's true, there is no blue screen of death. In fact, it is a grey multilingual screen of death. It tells you in about 6 languages that it's sorry but it has to shut down now. I couldn't do anything to fix it, I had no idea, I mostly found that it just didn't work. I found the process of installing and uninstalling programs to be weirdly convoluted and counterintuitive as well.

guess you had a hardware problem, in that case you just have to exchange the broken part (trivial, I know).
I have a Powerbook since nearly 6 years, I work with it many hours every day (I used it nearly 5 years privately and in work). It did not crash on me a single time, even when I use 8 or 10 programs at a time...
So in principle it works extremely well, however, if you have a hardware problem, there is no real difference to any other computer.

My experience is still limited, but I trust my colleagues', and I have never heard them seriously complaining about a certain feature or bug of their new laptops. My boss is especially ecstatic. His hard drive broke down; he had it replaced, did a fresh install of the OS, then as soon as it detected his TimeCapsule, the laptop automatically synced back, down to the last file, to the exact same situation it had the day it died. I think he was sold to Macs that very day

O lawd, what have I started.
Mine has been very good to me, but I really can't speak for everyone. *shrug* I like 'em.
Anyway, back to the original problem: the easiest way to find out if it's a problem with the browser is to try a different browser, so use IE or Safari depending on your OS to browse lernu and see if it's still doing that weird switching thing.

I'm on Ubuntu, with firefox 3 also, so I might try on some different browsers.

nshepperd:Strange. I have had the same problem, but only twice. The first time it randomly set lernu to Suomi, so I changed it back. The second time it changed to Esperanto so I left it like that.I take it you don't speak finnish then?

And Erinja your post made me laugh, my parents computer had the same multilingual screen of death. I love it, in fact, I would TRY to get it to come up because I thought it was so cool. But then I installed a new operating system (the next one up (Tiger for all you mac guys) and it never came up again...
I miss that screen.ANYWAY Safari can work on Windows (well, I think apple still have the Windows version on their site) but this seems to be a problem with Firefox 3 and possibly related Mozilla browsers. Personally Google Chrome is your best bet, but if you find the interface a bit odd then I guess you can continue experimenting with other browsers.
BTW anyone know when Google Chrome is coming for mac?
