    Default Editing posts

    When I try to edit my own posts by clicking on the Edit button, I get the little spinning circle thing but the board never seems to load the window in which I can edit my post. My mouse cursor remains a hourglass and I can't click on anything on the web page. (I can still click on Reload button, Back button, etc... of my browser.)

    Right now I'm using Opera 9.24 and WinXP. Anyone else having this issue, or is it just me? How would I go about resolving it?

    It's a known issue if you use Opera here.
    You can right click and use the "open in new tab" option get a edit window to get around it.

    Okay. Thanks.

    (And no, I'm not using Firefox, for tech issues. I used to have it installed, but it forcibly took over Opera's plugin folder, and was causing Opera to crash/freeze on certain pages.)

    That shouldn't be a problem, since Firefox is the only one worth using.

    I beg to differ on that.

    Edit seems to work fine on Opera 9.5 though

    Meh. I've been using Opera a heck of a lot longer than Firefox. As far as I can tell, all Firefox does is copy whatever features Opera came up with in its last version. It's also an Internet Suite, not just a web browser, so it has a built-in email client, IRC chat, BitTorrent client, RSS news feed, and so on.

    That's what makes it the shittiest ever.

    Only idiots want an 'All in one' doohickey.

    Real people have a seperate stand alone app for things like IRC, Bittorrent and email.

    Also, GODJonez, what the fuck would you know, you haven't even been here for a year.
