Question

Why doesn't this forum support Opera? You even use it in your own software, Adobe!

It's really pissing me off that Adobe chooses to use a forum frontend that does not support the Opera browser. Makes me have to go out of my save habitat, log all in again with a forgotten password through a browser I don't like, for no apparent reason because there's plenty of forums out there that don't have fanboy browser issues.

Here's the fun thing. Ever wonder how Opera got magically installed on your OSX Mac? Because from Creative Suite 3 and up, it is included with the Adobe software.

This isn't right, Adobe guys. You should either pay Jive Software a bunch of money to support Opera, or switch to other forum software that has no browser issues. There's plenty of free ones.

    All I can say is.. it must be a monumental event. Or they don't take kindly to their own forums.

    It must be hard to migrate a forum where crazy html is supported making people able to mess with anything.

    Hmm. That's even stranger. So the Mac version works. The Win32 version does not...

    That is Curious!

    Do you have JavaScript turned on? This forum is based heavily on Javascript.  I seem to recall in other previous thread the is a problem with  These forums and Opera.

    Yes. I'm a modern webuser. Javascript enabled, java installed, shockwave, flash, silverlight and what not installed.

    In the end I think it's not me. Opera is not supported, Jive sais so themselves. I think they support the Mac version by accident now.

    Check your version number against the version number show in the attached image.

    Software Companies frequently throw in incentive software and the for get they update every month or two Like they themselves do.

    I have the very version shown  that image version 10.

    And it works as well as SeaMonkey, Firefox, OmniWeb, Camino, iCab, and Safari. (Which is not necessarily saying a lot, there are lots bugs to be fixed in the forums.)

    Ah, well I am actually browsing on my Windows machine here. And I am totally uptodate. I run Opera 10.10 and Windows 7. And I can read and everything, but try to open a discussion or make a reply, and you'll find that you cannot type in the message editor with Opera. At all. The editor is an unselectable line in Opera 10.10. As it was in Opera 9.5.

    The Jive Software site themselves, the guys who made this forum, say that Opera is not supported and will not be supported any time soon.

    So since Adobe bought the support of Opera for whatever reason, they should in my opinion also support Opera on their most important forums.

    That's odd the Mac version works just fine.
