"Search this Thread" and "Thread Tools" not working correctly in Opera browser.

beechcott · May 22nd, 2018, 03:26 PM

In most browsers (such as Chrome and Firefox), clicking "Search this Thread" or "Thread Tools" causes a small drop-down menu to appear in-place. This is easy and convenient. But when I press either of those two options in Opera browser, the whole page reloads and jumps to the bottom of the entire page, where a search box and subscription have now appeared as part of the bottom of the page.

Why do the "Search this Thread" and "Thread Tools" options work in this entirely different (and very clunky) way in Opera, and is there a way to fix it?

I had the same problem with Opera myself but it seems to have corrected itself. I'm using version 53.0 64 bit if that helps.

After reading your post, I updated Opera from version 52 to version 53. It didn't help.

I experienced the reloaded page dropping to the bottom when using firefox

100% of the time it was No Script blocking a few key scripts that i hadnt yet allowed

Beyond that ad-block plus is notorious for blocking VEF forum scripts via easylist
many other ad-blockers have the same easylist in their midst

Entering VEF in safe mode - all addons disabled - if such a thing exists in opera
a good place to start

I don't think that it has that option.

I cannot work out how to insert or post a picture in Opera..I have the up to date 64bit..What is this insert image url gubbins?...Used to be able to do this easily!

No idea what that gubbins stuff is but i used the latest opera recently to upload to the host below
with no issues

You still can - just head to an imagehost

pixhost.to - they dont offer any account - just upload and forget

https://pixhost.to

- just select content type adult - bottom right - set up gallery bottom middle if wanted
- add title for gallery - bottom middle
- add files far bottom left

when upload complete - left click on 2nd link - should say copied to clipboard
- right click in your post and select paste

All the main hosts are compared here - they require setting up and account
email + password

I use imagebam with Opera on xp and have no problems posting images and I've never had to set up an account.
