1Frothy Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Now that Safari 3.1 for Windows is out. It would be good to have a separate sub-forum for Safari users. What say you, Neowinians? :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/626372-do-we-need-a-seperate-sub-forum-for-safari-users/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dc'1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I wouldn't say we needed it, but it would be nice for the people who do use it to be able to post problems and so on.

MrA Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I wouldn't say we needed it, but it would be nice for the people who do use it to be able to post problems and so on. I agree. It might also be a good place to post about webkit considering that it's getting a lot of steam lately (iPhone, S60, Android, Adobe AIR, etc).

1Frothy Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I just suggested it because I quite like playing with Safari on Windows. I might have a gripe or two but otherwise it's not a bad product at all.

what Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yes please :) With recent news like this, and with the release of 3.1, Safari is only going to gain marketshare and so it deserves its place as the fourth main contender in the browser wars.

shakey_snake Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I agree. It might also be a good place to post about webkit considering that it's getting a lot of steam lately (iPhone, S60, Android, Adobe AIR, etc). If the general "Web Browser Discussion" forum was over-run with these now, I'd agree. However, it's currently not, so i can't think too many people want to post about it anyways, even if it had it's own forum.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2008 I can't see much point, Safari isn't as extensible as the other browsers (so questions would really be limited to "How do i add a bookmark?") Yes please :) With recent news like this, and with the release of 3.1, Safari is only going to gain marketshare and so it deserves its place as the fourth main contender in the browser wars. Third* Market share wise it's IE > Firefox > Safari. Then the others.

bdsams Veteran Posted March 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2008 I agree with Decryptor, I havent seen a massive amounts of threads regarding Safari. If it really gains traction but if we start there where does it end?

1Frothy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well as I understand it, Opera has less market share than Safari and yet it has it's own sub-forum and Safari doesn't. :ermm: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/626372-do-we-need-a-seperate-sub-forum-for-safari-users/#findComment-589278575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted March 20, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2008 I would think we do because there are some days there are problems with the Windows version so its a vote from me.

Crazysah Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 We should have one on a trial run for a few days or a week and see how it goes...

megamanXplosion Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Opera might have less marketshare, but people talk about Opera more than Safari on these forums.

PL_ Veteran Posted March 21, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think we should avoid subforums as often as we can to avoid confusion for new members.

megamanXplosion Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I agree. Unless there is a genuine need for another subforum, it should be avoided.

wellofsouls Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 there definitely should be a Safari/KHTML/WebKit subforum, they are quite a sizeable family of browsers already, with Konqueror, Safari, Swift, iCab, OmniWeb, Shiira, Midori, S60 Browser, Google Android, and with Epiphany joining, there's no reason why there's no KHTML/WebKit subforum when there are ones for Firefox/Gecko and Opera/Presto.

Sub_Zero_Alchemist Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I say add it, doesn't hurt to have one for the Safari users. sooner or later it's bound to happen.
