Opera browser questions - GoFuckYourself.com

I just started using the Opera browser 6.01 and I love it but I have a few questions/problems:

I can't seen to submit my TG to any TGP's using the brownie script using Opera. After I hit submit, it will take me to a page saying to please submit again.

Sometimes when viewing image galleries, the thumbnails won't load (but won't be deadlinks) and when I click on the, I get sent to 404's. I load the same page in Netscape and IE and nothing is wrong.

Is there anyway to make it so that when I am viewing bookmarks, they don't fade in like they do now? I like how the bookmarks appear in Netscape 4.x. It's quick with no fade.

I think the http refer tag from Opera is different from ns and IE. I get the same shit. Its just like trying to load a gallery that has htaccess protection for hotlinking with my firewall on, in IE. Same result 404 pictures

press F12 and enable reffrer logging. If this don't helt then I don't know what it is. Try the opera support they got some cool people working there

Cool -- the images load now. I wish there was a way to make the bookmarks load faster though.

Opera is the best browser -- fast and small tight code! I've used for for years now I think... one of the few pieces of software I ever registered w/ $$$ ;)

I use 5.12 -- I don't know what kind of "fading" you are talking about.... are you sure this is not a Windoze issue? Anyway Opera gives you two ways to access bookmarks -- through the "hotlist/bookmarks tab" -- and through the pulldown at the top of the screen... if the pulldown is acting wierd, chances are this is an issue w/ your operating system... ?

You may have trouble w/ some sites that REQUIRE you to use MSIE or Netscape (like banks) -- so just go into your preferences and Opera can "cloak" itself as MSIE or Netscape I'm pretty sure.

Opera may be many things,but a good JavaScript capable browser is not.

It disguises himself an other browsers,
so if Javascript is specific for Opera (which already is a problem)
it wil ignore it,
so most semi complex javascripts will not work.

It sucks.
As simple as that.
