Using Opera - Some links don't work correctly
« on: December 19, 2010, 02:46:14 pm »
It is actually rather interesting.  I love the Opera browser, but I can't resolve this one problem with it.  Some links just do not work.  It's been like this for months.  I've got Opera set to auto-update.  Best example I can give is when in football.fantasysports.yahoo.com.  Anyone who uses yahoo's fantasy football can check it out.  Just open up opera, and open up the main "league" page.  You should have the standings/schedule/playoffs/all-time links in the gray section.  Just try to click any of those

I've read this also occurs on other pages.  Apparently wsj.com has the problem on certain parts.  I've not verified, but their problems sound similar.

If you try to click on these links, nothing will happen.

UNLESS you click on them before the pages completely finishes loading.  I just found this out today while screwing around with the config file.  (Type opera:config as the url.)

These links will also work if you open the link in a new tab or a new window.

How exactly are these links encoded?  If I knew that, I might have a little more knowledge on what to look for in the config file. 

I've played with a few dozen settings in that config file, but nothing has made a difference.

I can live with it, but it's annoying during the football season.
