Could be Lion or the newer rev of Safari as well. As much as I love having the latest Mac goodies, I hate to jump too quickly to Mac OS (or any) upgrades because I don't want to feel like I'm a beta tester. Doing so generally ends up costing me many hours on tech support calls if I upgrade too soon!

Still, I think the problem in this case is the site not being entirely Mac friendly. The person who set it up apparently does not have access to a Mac. I believe he is also working on the site with only a non-visual interface (screen reader). Put those two together and fixing the Mac issues is probably going to take a while. I definitely think his site is best used with a PC if one is available, at least for the time being.

One other workaround though, the vault is just a list of links. While you cannot always reach the vault from a Mac, that isn't where the files actually "live". You can, for example, email the file copied from the site on a PC (or working Mac) to a Mac that can't see the file and you can download the files from the Mac still-- they are clearly hosted externally. Just copy  the link from the email in that case to your browser. Until the site gets updated it would be the exact same links and info anyhow...
