whpalmer4 reported success with 5.8 SP1. Since JD3 and I are running 5.8 Final on 10.5, I thought it might be something in just the latest release.
However, OmniWeb 5.6 and 5.7 both fail.
mrglsmrc reported "a problem with macupdate. it seemed to time out." Let's make sure we're all talking about the same page. Regular MacUpdate pages (macupdate.com) are working fine; likewise, interior MacUpdate Promo page (mupromo.com) are working fine. It's just the new, colorful
MacUpdate Promo home page that's failing to appear.
Before attempting another display of this problem page, I opened OmniWeb's Error Log and the OS X Console > All Messages log -- no clue in either one.
