Forums look pwettier on Opera

[Sprafa]

Opera vs Normal



for whichever reason that is (render engine?) they look so pretty on Opera that I was wondering if it can be changed for it always to look that way ?

I use Firefox, but use Opera for these forums just because it's pwettier

that's totally off-topic.

 

[slicktick]

yeah, I kinda think that it looks better, but it doesnt bother me that much

 

[Chris D]

Dear god, no.

No disrespect but we won't be changing the forum design to something that realistically resembles a bug in Opera that doesn't draw table boarders properly.

Is it just me that don't see any differance save that there are no lines i Opera?

That's correct. It's some sort of bug in Opera.

 

[Sprafa]

oh, so that's why

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it, but I like it more that way

of course u know we are just waiting for some chap to come in here and suggest a pic of Chris_D wearing a speedo would look much prettier than it is right now.. :E

It looks worse in Opera in my opinion. I used to be an opera fanboy... but no, no more... version 7 and up is crap. Firefox pwns.

I'm no expert, but I believe it's a problem with your XHTML. The w3 validator says that your margin attributes are invalid in XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Indeed, if I remove the DOCTYPE declaration from this page, and load it in Opera, the table borders magically appear. The "bug" appears to be only that Opera is being stricter than you would like.

That would be an issue then with vBulletin, and not ourselves. We'll see if we can fix it if necessary.

Cool. That'd be great if you could have a look at it. It used to look fine in Opera, until a few weeks ago. I've been wondering what could have changed... it looks the same as it ever did in Mozilla.

Oh... I haven't voted, but it looks like :x without the borders, IMO.

I remember having Opera ages ago and having the same issue. Nothing has changed on the forum's design within the last few weeks.

I dunno. I just tried with an older Opera version (7.51, from June, 2004) and still no borders. I do remember hitting the site (maybe more than a few weeks ago, really but, no more than two months) and thinking, "Oh, they've changed the page style again, eh?" but, when I loaded the site in Mozilla it displayed in the usual style, borders and all.

Anyone remember when the forum started displaying without borders in Opera?

 

[bliink]

Its like someone asking for a hl2 mod that replicates the melting effect when your GPU overheats..

 

[Danimal]

Get firefox or Chris_D will own you again

 

[Sprafa]

Opera 8 roxxors my boxxors

oh yeah, please don't fix it. I like it this way.

Aha! I know what happened now. I had long ago set a preference for Opera to always be forgiving of improperly formed HTML by adding this to my preferences:

CompatMode Override=1

Soemhow, I had lost this setting in my ini file.

Anyone who uses Opera can put that line in the "User Prefs" section of opera6.ini and the borders on the forum topics will show, as intended. By default, Opera is forced into a stricter mode of interpretation by the XHTML Doctype declaration that the forum pages carry. Setting CompatMode Override=1 forces a looser "quirks mode" page interpretation, and allows improperly nested elements, etc. to be rendered more forgivingly.

Bottom line... Opera ain't broke, here. Vbulletin should clean up its act and start generating valid markup. The XHTML standard is meant to be unforgiving of errors.

Insert obligatory flame here:

Opera Roolz.

Firefox Droolz.

:E

all hail firefox

How very nice. Shame that a certain someone's sig breaks Safari.

[The Terminator]

Opera owns. I like it so much more then Firefox, I just dont see why firefox is better.

 

[Tupper]

Opera < Firefox with ease

 

[Tr0n]

IE > firefox > opera


I win....






Bitchs.

 

[Ghil]

lol, a browser war again....

Opera has things that Firefox doesn't have, FF have things that Opera doesn't, and IE sucks, and of the line...

So it's just because Vbulletin isn't written correctly?

This poll is totally biased when you place a smiley then a sad face beside the two options. My choice shouldn't be characterized by sorrow simply because it differs from your own. You sicken me Sprafa. Democracy is dead and you killed it!
