Hey guys. I'm using Opera and something really annoying has happened- Spoiler tags don't work anymore. I can still see the tag, but the text shows through. I think i've ****** with a setting but i'm not sure what setting. Anyone got an idea how to rectify the problem?

Thanks-
 
One answer to you spyro.

Stop pratting around with things :lol:
just download a normal internet explorer and you should be fine.

I wasn't really trying to. I haven't had a fault for ages either!

In regards to Firefox, I do use it occasionally, I just prefer Opera. It looks nicer and is faster. The last problem I had with this PC was the PSPXI problem, and since i've switched fulltime to CS4 i've not had a problem there :)

I'll just have to reinstall Opera at worst- Was just wondering if anyone here knew how I could rectify the problem so I dont need to back up bookmarks etc.
 
what do you mean back up bookmarks?? lol the bookmark.favourites are saved onto the machine in a folder in the C Drive. when i installed fire fox (after gateway, the manufacturers of my laptop kept interfering in my internet searches with their incessant bothersome searchpage that would appear in place of many web pages) the bookmarks where copied across. simply because the explorer has been deleted...doesn't mean that the bookmarks are gone too :p

Not having a go, just letting you know some things you may find helpful.

@ Jayme: I found chrome nice to look at...but abit too different for me. guess its just the home comforts :)

lol like since when, you can easily config the settings on firefox for its pipelining in the 'about:config'

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows

Code:

[HIDE]

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.[/HIDE]

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

On a related note, I too use Opera after Firefox 3 became too memory-hungry. Speed Dial has a profound effect on my online habits.

Otaku San, you are my new God.





This is going to be one scary religion.

Also, why the hell isn't any software configured properly to begin with?

I just love Opera.

All the different skins n ****. I've got a nice anime skin on mine.

I'm just waiting for someone to butt in and tell me they have a FF Anime browser :lol:

Aaaaaaah. See I thought i'd have to back em up. If they are saved and it's that easy to import i'll probs just reinstall later. :)
 
This is annoying- I just reinstalled Opera and the settings are identical to before. It's still got all my skins etc, which is good, but not reverted to default settings. Uggggh this is annoying -_-
 
Okay I sorted it. This is stupid.

When 'Fit to width' is on- I can see through Spoilers. It was cause the page was being stretched on something so I clicked it on, and it allows you to see through Spoilers. Thats really, really, annoying.
 
That is a bit weird. I Googled your problem at the time and saw a lot of Opera users complaining about similar problems on messageboards. I'd probably never have figured it out.

I find Chrome the only usable browser on Windows. Firefox makes me rage (I finally walked away from it completely in 3.0, they seemed to have one crippling problem per major version and the senile location bar coupled with the memory footprint made me give up). Camino is a much more friendly implementation of the whole Mozilla thing, Mac-side. I pray that someone will do the same for Windows at some point and force the Firefox team to get their browser back under control to compete :(
