Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Opera / July 2008Opera 9.51 -- No Good!
I installed 9.50. Super problems. Uninstalled. Reinstalled Zone Alarm. Installed 9.50. Working with some livable problems. Installed 9.51: Pre, RC1, RC2, RC3==final. Now cannot do banking. Try going to www.pncbank.com, enter acoount #, and get a blank page. Hosed completely as cannot go back to 9.27 also, as it does not open (yet it creates so many opera.exe processes.) Perhaps, the time has come to say goodbye to dear Opera, which I have been using since the first release. What a mess! [Well, all good things come to an end; and all things decay, although I didn't think that it was possible for Opera to decay so soon.] ---raj I'd like to make a suggestion, before you give up completely. Vapourise all trace of Opera from your system, and then do a brand new reinstall. Obviously you'll have to delete the folder tree in Program Files, plus all the stuff that's been stored in the various paths (Help | About), plus checking all the paths that Opera might have used in the past (this last bit is very important). I did exactly this, reinstalled everything, and it works beautifully. Obviously I can't check your bank website as I don't have an account there. But to be honest, banks are notorious for being finnicky about the browser - many require IE. I use Opera for all my browsing *except* my bank - for which I use IE7. It really is no problem to keep IE as a backup browser, and enjoy Opera for the rest of the time. Can't you do likewise?

Can't you do likewise? It always worked with my dear Opera. After a cleanup and reinstalling 9.27, it works again. [If you are in US, just enter your ss # and see if you get to the next page. Thanks.] > I'd like to make a suggestion, before you give up completely. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > SteveT This is 2008, so why should he need to do that, when it is not needed with other browsers??

New data point: The clean install of Opera 9.51 has the same problem, i.e., cannot do banking at pncbank.com. I am so very happy to go back to 9.27 for my sanity!

I think the problem is with the broken HTML markup on their website. I tried a fake number to sign in, and got a blank page. The source code contains a NOFRAME element before any BODY or FRAMESET elements. This makes Opera 9.5x go blank. Yes, I'm aware this is a nasty issue that Opera will have to fix. > I am so very happy to go back to 9.27 for my sanity!

Please let us know when this issue is fixed. Until then, I'll be happy surfing with Opera 9.27 (and yes doing online banking) rather than being always staring at pimples of Opera. --- a die-hard Opera Fan.

Well couldn't stand the 9.27 slowness after getting used to 9.5x fastness; so I am back to 9.51. Hope the the "banking issue" gets solved in 9.52. Cheers! ---raj > Well couldn't stand the 9.27 slowness after getting used to 9.5x > fastness; so I am back to 9.51. > Hope the the "banking issue" gets solved in 9.52. > Cheers! Hey Opera Team! Great job! Banking works, finally, with Opera 9.52, Build 10093. :-) ---raj Am Thu, 3 Jul 2008 13:37:50 -0700 (PDT) schrieb xraj@optonline.net: > Hosed completely as cannot go back to 9.27 also, as it does not open > (yet it creates so many opera.exe processes.) I did a rollback to 9.26 yesterday. Had the same problem, so I moved the whole opera directory within the Documents and Properties folder to another location. Then I could start Opera and import all I needed from the moved directory. |
