Go see.

The homepage doesn’t work though using Opera, when it did before.
Which version of Opera / OS are you using? I’m on Win XP / Opera 8.52 and it works fine (not applied the 8.54 patch though… perhaps there’s a problem with that?)
I put a shout out to the Sharpener crew and the Opera users have reported no problems. Could you be a bit more specific please, Muppetlord?
I use Opera 8.54 on Win XP. Before the new look it worked fine, now when I load the site I get the sharpener icon at the side and a load of text posted below, other than that it is a blank screen. To read the site I have to switch to Firefox:
-1) { comment.className = comment.className.replace(” collapsed”, “”);; } else { comment.className += ” collapsed”; } } function expandThread( theId ) { var comment = document.getElementById(theId); if(!comment) { alert(”ERROR:\nThe document structure is different\nfrom what Threaded Comments expects.\nYou are missing the element ‘”+theId+”‘”); return; } var theBody = findBody(comment); if(comment.className.indexOf(”collapsed”) > -1) { comment.className = comment.className.replace(” collapsed”, “”);; } } function findBody(el) { var divs = el.getElementsByTagName(”div”); var ret; for(var i = 0; i -1) return divs.item(i); } return false; } function onAddComment() { //checkDocumentIntegrity(); var el = document.getElementById(”commentform”); // Future release: Check if form is filled correctly and mark the form fields. el.submit(); } function moveAddCommentBelow(theId, threadId, collapse) { expandThread( theId ); var addComment = document.getElementById(”addcomment”); if(!addComment) { alert(
Right. This is the javascript in the head of the page. Immediately before this is a greater than “>” sign. This is also a tag closer. I *suspect* that for some reason, Opera is closing the opening comment tag and taking everything else as text of some kind.
This must be a new Opera bug. (If it is a bug.) Best thing we/Justin can do, is remove all the javascript from the template, paste it into a .js file upload that, and replace what we’ve deleted with a javascript tag with reads (inside the angle brackets) script type=text/javascript src=”javascript.js” Where javascript.js is whatever you call the javascript file.
