It seems to be crashing Opera 10.63 half the time after saving, however. That is a major problem above any visual fuglyness.

Opera crashes from a lot of things (from my experience, it's an unstable pile of crap, at least the linux version), it's not necessarily lqt's fault. Then again, sometimes you can't see your newly posted comment, maybe that's related. Oh btw, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions and select LiquidThreads from the list

Opera isn't that unstable, it just doesn't like things that are a little experimental. Often websites prefer to ban that browser than, you know, check their site actually works... but anyway.

I can't seem to consistently find what is the problem. It might be if it's trying to automatically update and reload the thread. If I can figure out the exact issue, I'll report it properly. As you can probably tell, I'm not the sort of person to just say "it don't work gud" and assume tech support can fix it like magic. I've been on the receiving end of generic complaints enough to find that isn't going to help at all.

Well yeah, but a decent browser shouldn't be crashing because some website has broken javascript.

-- Nx / talk21:47, 21 November 2010

Yeah, but sites shouldn't have piece-of-shit javascript.

Anyway, it's stopped it now so it might have been a background window being a dick.

Postel's Law: be conservative in what you produce, and liberal in what you accept from others. Opera isn't exempt.

I'd just rather use IE 5 than start worshiping at the Church of Firefox.

Who's making irrational, kneejerk opinions of something based on no evidence or reason now?

Word evil Hoover!22:11, 21 November 2010

Yay, a browser flamewar. Because there wasn't enough DRAMA already

-- Nx / talk22:12, 21 November 2010

I believe you started it when you said Opera was a pile of crap. You have insulted my honour, sir, and I challenge you to a duel.
