Try Firefox or another Mac browser to see if that's it.

Is there any reason I cant post on TV.com, Gamespot or filmspot forums?
Is there a problem with safari 3 beta? Or is there something els on my system stopping me from posting there?

Safari is fine. The reason you can't post on those other sites is because you need separate accounts for them, even if you already have one on this CNET site.
You can login on CNET, Crave, Download, etc. because they're all on the main CNET page. CNET networks may operate Gamespot, Tv.com, and Filmspot, but they have their own accounts.
If you intend to post on these sites, you may need to create new accounts.
This should be correct, unless I'm mistaken. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Hope this helps,

because I just went to GameSpot, which is linked to TV.com, and tried my login. It said it was either wrong or unregistered.
This is probably because it is a separate branch within the CNET websites.
If you need to or really want to, you'll need to make a new account. I'm no longer running Safari Beta 3, instead using 2 on 10.4.8, until Leopard comes out, so I can say that you should be fine.
Hope this helped.

I don't think thats it. as I had a Gamespot account before I had a CNET.com one.
Will try a new browser to see if thats the problem.
I just posted on the TV.com forums using another web browser. So it must be something to do with Safari 3 beta.
Is anyone els getting this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
I had a CNET account and not any others. So maybe I'm wrong.
I have Safari 2.0.4, but I rarely use FF on my machine. Oh well.
Dunno.

You could try this:
Under the Debug menu in Safari 3, set the User Agent to Safari 2.0 and see what happens.
I have to do that with my bank because their webpage will only allow certain browsers to work.
Worth a try

Where would I find that? Im new to all this tinkering with apple machines.
I did get error messages before. But now it seems I just can write anything in the message box.
