Posting issues with Opera web browser

One of my members is using the Opera web browser for his internet needs. He says nothing happens when he hits the add reply button.

He also mentions he gets no box to type in and it loads nothing at all when he presses the button. In addition when he presses the new topic button, he gets transported back to the main sub-forum.

He re-started Opera and tried again and got: javascript:void(null).

He mentions he has no problems in Internet Explorer. I downloaded Opera myself and had no issues. The version I downloaded was 11.64.

Although he now tells me he is using Opera version 11.62. Maybe if he would consider downloading the latest version it may operate properly.

Other variable is he is from Sweden.

Are there any known issues with SimplePress and Opera working together?

Well I was going to be smart and reply to this post using Opera (although the Mac OSX version). But I had quite an old copy so when it suggested I upgrade I did... to 11.64 - and now the browser wont even open! Completely fails to load.

We know of no problems with Opera and this is, to the best of my knowledge, the first report of a problem for some years. The only thing that comes to mind is that your user may have an Opera Add-In installed that doesn't play well. Could you ask them to try with their add-ins disabled to see if that works for them? If they do have any and that does the trick then a simple process of elimination by enabling one at a time would find the culprit. And give us something to research into.

Thanks for replying so quickly. He took my suggestion about upgrading ( I'm assuming he uses Windows), and he says he can now post on the forum using Opera.

If he or any others have further problems while using Opera's latest version, I'll give them your advice of disabling add-ons to isolate the problem.

Thank you once again.

please let us know what you find.  we test FF, IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari on PC and MAC (except for IE) routinely and know of no browser specific issues.
