Go to new post broken

[GrofLuigi]

No problems here.

Perhaps this is similar to the Google SEO bug that resets people's thread format preferences?

I don't know what Google SEO bug is, but my preferences are OK (they are not changed). I had problems in the past with setting thread options, but if I set them in another browser, they are remembered.

As per my post #5 in this thread, the situation now is similar, but slightly different:

The link on the button "go to latest post" (of this thread) says:

http://www.msfn.org/board/post-broken-t111182.html&view=getnewpost

but when I click on it (either just click or right click -> open in new tab) it becomes just:

http://www.msfn.org/board/post-broken-t111182.html

...

UPDATE: while I was browsing back and forth copying the above links, it started working. Now the links passed are in the form of

http://www.msfn.org/board/post-broken-t111182.html&pid=746576#entry746576

that work correctly.

So I think this is proof that there is something changing (not necessarily broken, because it works for other people) on the server side - this is happening in one browser session, no preferences invoken, no visits to other sites - interminnent results. And of course I have no malware on my computer.

Again, that's why I hesitated to report it several times before - this is something that's difficult to catch, but very annoying when it happens. At one time (not now) I reinstalled Opera, wiped its preferences and erased all user javascripts I use (btw they are not so complex/featurebreaking - add ALT image, script spoof (wiped a month ago), detect window close) - it made no difference.

I really would appreciate if another Opera user confirmed that 'Go to new post' feature works all the time for him/her.

I'm an Opera and don't usually have issues. The only time I have experienced this problem is when we've enabled/disabled SEO. The transition isn't easy on Opera. But clearing cookies/cache does the trick every time.

There is also an issue with URL rewriting and the symptoms are similar. But I haven't had a problem with that in some time now.

Finally I found a way to make it reproducable:

Let's take one thread (this thread). If I click on 'getnewpost' button twice - it works 100% the SECOND time. If I click too fast (i.e. the first instance isn't fully loaded - it doesn't work. If I click once - doesn't work (as I described above).

When it works (was clicked twice) it doesn't matter whether the first click was on the 'getnewpost' button or the topic title itself.

So it seems some component (javascript?) that Opera needs is loaded too late.

Am I good troubleshooter or what?

Sorry, that scenario doesn't apply to my instance of Opera. It works no matter how I click.

Another thing to consider: My Opera often won't jump down the page until *all* of the page is loaded. So if there is some image in a sig that isn't loading for me then Opera will "hang" at the top of the page instead of jumping down to the proper point. Does this happen to you, too?

My Opera is configured to "show cached images only" (that makes it super-fast ) so I haven't noticed. In rare times when I set it to "show all images" it didn't hang on any picture. But I've seen that on other places (& other browsers). I've reinstalled Opera and wiped preferences again - no go.

Interestingly enough, I installed Safari 3.1 for windows and it shows the same behavior. It hasn't much to configure, so I can't imagine what could have I done wrong.

Internet explorer 6 works (but has no tabs and is uncomfortabe; and I don't intend to install 7 right now).

Firefox doesn't even log in. Just returns to the main page unlogged in.

Could this be the problem?

<script type="text/javascript"

  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

That's blocked in my hosts file. (I didn't put it there, downloaded them all).

Fixed after this.
