Opera Browser 9.63 Unable to Post

[zeb_lisik]

<p>Hi, I did a quick search and didn't find any posts about this but I didn't dig too deep in the results.<br>

When using opera browser 9.63, which is the current version, I'm unable to post. When I press the post button nothing happens. This sort of thing has happened before with other sites and IE and FF work fine. Sadly since Opera supports standards more strictly some sites don't work exactly right I believe.<br>

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do the people that should know know? Or perhaps its just me?<br>

Also I'm using vista but I can check with xp pro sp3 and linux as well.</p>

<p>Your problem (and mine) is known by the Forum administrators. A couple of months ago I asked the same question via email and I received a prompt and kind answer saying they will spend no time in depurating their code to support less used browsers. I think he told me that just around three percent of the members were using Opera. As I'm not paying I cannot complain, or was it the reverse way?</p>

I would be interested in seeing a statistical breakdown of which browsers and operating systems are being used to visit here, if it is not too proprietary, that is. I use Firefox V3 on Vista and Ubuntu, myself.

<p>I guess I can understand them not wanting to change it when most people have no problem. It sort of irks me that some websites don't work very well with opera just because they aren't designed to follow standards but to work with poorly implemented browsers.<br>

Perhaps it'll work with Opera 10? I tested the alpha a while ago and I was impressed. I wonder if opera mini and mobile suffer the same problems.<br>

D N, I too, am curious. I wonder if photo.net users follow the same break down as the general public.<br>

<p>I don't use Opera. When I installed Opera update last June I discovered it changed the shared libraries with Adobe and broke some CS2 applications (those which weren't updated to CS3 or 4), so Opera isn't on my machine anymore and won't be because they didn't respond to my e-mail about why they changed things. I'll stick with Safari and FF as a backup and test browser (has some neat plug-ings).</p>

I pulled the stats from my website for YTD 2009 and found this:
