I always found it fascinating to see that a Lego set was cheaper in the US than
in Denmark, for instance. That did not seem right. This was simply by comparing
prices in S@H, easily done by switching the country flag.
It may start making sense if we include VAT -- in some places it is upto 25% of
the price. US prices do not reflect tax until you provide shipping details. The
tax tends to vary by state, with some states not having any sales tax.
Now when I compute the prices taking into account the exchange rate, some sets
start to become cheaper in Europe than in the US. The new Technic Motorized
Excavator is worth noting in this regard. It is $200 in the US - even the worst
case situation shows it to be cheaper in Europe.
Did I miss something? OF course Canadiens may still be getting a raw deal. I
have not put in the effort to check other countries and continents.

Hi all,
luckily I am using Macs myself - unfortunately I didn’t notice this issue
since I personally prefer Firefox over Safari on Mac OS X.
Anyway, I tried everything myself and narrowed the issue down to the primary
cookie being created - the cookie name being used in LUGNET apparently is not
very much to Safari’s liking, however since cookie naming is embedded deeply
in the code, this is not changed easily.
I will try to change the name of the login cookie to a name that will be
accepted by Safari. I will update you when things are fixed. In the meantime,
your best bet would be Firefox which I have found is a very useful piece of
software on all operating systems.
Regards,
Jerry

I too ran into this same problem. I was unable to login to lugnet using Safari
3, but can login successfully using Firefox 3.
I was able to login in the past with Safari 2 with no problems.
Might this be a bug in webkit ?

Hi, all--
I have a mystery I can’t solve!
I recently got a new Macbook. I can log onto LUGnet while in Windows, but
need some help configuring the Mac so I can log in with OS X. It seems that
the Mac does not let me allow cookies, even after telling Safari it’s okay.
Any help/suggestions you all have, would be greatly appreciated...I’d really
like to not have to flip back to Windows to log in.

hI Matthew,
you might try downloading the Firefox web browser and see if that helps.
if not there may be some issue with the set up you are using to connect to the
web. we’ve had some users at the university not be able to loginto various
systems due the configuration of the wireless connection in various “free” wifi
businesses . we recommend the use of firefox as it tends to be more
compatibility with pc based web systems. it’s apparently easier for the
programmers to code for firefox as it’s on both pc’s and mac’s, than for safari
which used to be mac only.
perhaps another macuser will be able to help with this as I tend to lurk and
haven’t ever actually ‘logged into ’ lugnet
