I don't have any problems Nick with Safari 1.3.2. I dare say you have a much later version.

Just now noticed there is a checkbox between thumbnail and description panel on the 2nd stage - do you have it checked?

Try clearing its cache alt/macE and maybe re-install it if off a CD or download a fresh one.

BTW I only use Safari for this & Pbase - it is the best colour dispaly, but Firefox far niftier in every other way.
