Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
A few forums includinig this one look perfectly fine with IE and FF but in Opera, the sites appear to have been pulled to the largest extent. I mean, they extend to a very long way towards their right and left. This has been happening only for the last 1 day and I couldn't understand what could be the problem. Any advice please?
PS: I observed that a few topics seem to have some long title but infact they have a very short topic like "Hi". This has been the problem I guess but I have no clue as to what is to be done
Another PS: When I view the source, it displays a weird thing:
wierd. i rarely have problems with opera. this is a wierd draw issue. i do have those problems but that is because i am working on am application that was meant to be used with IE so it <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> up in Opera and FF
Yeah even I'm seeing it for the first problem. The surprising part is that a few display errors are creeping up even while displaying search results in Google... I uninstalled and reinstalled Opera but in vain...
query it on the opera forums. when it happens to me on the application that i'm working on (i referanced it above) it does some wierd <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> with DIVs where only IE displays it correctly because it was hacked FOR IE. so when Opera is drwaing it the site comes stretched and giant at first and then comes to normal. sometimes it sticks and sometimes images are just everywhere. minimizing it and maximising usually fixes that. make sure to check it on the opera forums and post an image of what you are seeing and an image of FF/IE to show what it's supposed to look like as well.
make sure to post back cuz i would like to see what the problem was.
I observed that this is occuring when one of the posters uses some weird ASCII characters in their posts. When it was frequently occuring on my forums, I PMed one of the posters as to what he was doing differently and he replied that he was using some ASCII characters in his title. I did ask him not to use them but the surprising part is that I see this problem even when the Google Search Results are being displayed. Anyways me going to Opera Forums now.. Will post back any valid reply...
You might want to post a link to a topic that is causing this to happen so others can take a look at it. As it stands you haven't given enough information for anyone to really help.
Can you take some screenshots and post them somewhere so we can see what you are seeing? Also, take the same screenshots in Firefox and IE and post them somewhere along with the Opera screenshots.
I created another user on my computer and the display is correct! So there's something wrong with my present user account. I tried copying the Opera Profile from that new account into my old account but the problem appears again. So, how do I solve it? Any advice?I tried deleting that the profile that is currently present but the problem still persists...
There is something in my existing Windows Profile that is causing the problem. When I created a new user, the problem wasn't there... I'll try changing to all the Character Sets now..
