New Forum How-To's

[GrofLuigi]

@jaclaz and all Opera Presto users:

Photobucket, tinypic and some similar photo sharing sites don't play well with Opera because they sniff the http request (probably useragent and what not) and change the requested image in midst of the request with html (their full page) either because they want to show you ads or maybe due to incompetence (embed into iframes or similar, and Opera is not too friendly to iframes originating from another domain). These are just my speculations as to why, but I am sure that they switch the content that is requested (the image) to something else.

What I found to be the cure:

change

opera:config#Network|HTTPAccept

to

"*/*" (without the quotes)

This is supposed to be NOOP, because by default the field is empty and that means that Opera accepts everything, but this change fixes most image hosting sites and doesn't break anything else.

HTH
