View Full Version : 11%...

This happens quite often with me on Opera, when browsing the forum. Trying to access a forum or subforum leads to the page only being loaded to 11%(according to opera), no matter how many times I try refreshing and no matter how long I wait for it to load.
For example, I go into Online Orgy and it loads to 11% and doesn't show anything on screen. I can hit refresh a bahzillion times and will give me the same result. I can even go back to the main forum, click on Online Orgy again and the same thing happens.
But then, if I use the "go to last post" in online orgy and then use the forum jump thingy on the lower right area of the thread to go to Online Orgy, it will display properly.
I don't really know if this is Opera, my ISP or the forum doing this*, but it gets annoying sometimes. Does this happen to anyone else here?
*my money is on the forum mind you, given that this doesn't seem to happen in any other site...
edit: And sometimes not even using the forum jump helps, like right now, I can't go into Online Orgy...

Try to clear the browser cache.

You could try using another browser when it does that, to see whether or not it is actually Opera. Eliminate one possibility.

Which version are you using? I'm on 9.20, and I don't have this problem, and I don't remember having that problem on any previous version.

Whenever I get a problem like that, I try the same site with IE.
Fortunatly, IE doesn't work either, so I know it's the site's fault.

Fortunately, eh?
Does that mean that in the unfortunate event IE can render the page corectly, you'll switch back to it? :)

It would mean that Opera had failed where IE hadn't. This would mean I would be forced to see if I can upgrade Opera or move back to IE.
*shudders*
So yes, you're right.

It does get fixed when I clear the cache. Thing is, this didn't happen before and it happens now, and I haven't changed anything in Opera.

Alien King

Hmm...
How do you clear the cache, I keep finding the option but then losing it almost immediatly.

Muzer

In Opera? Tools-Delete Private Data-Details-Make sure only "Clear Entire Cache" is ticked-Delete
Also, in most browsers, Ctrl+F5 does it but I prefer to do it like that for some reason

MtlAngelus
20 May 2007, 06:24
Well I have it set to clear all cache when I close it.

So yes, you're right.Does that mean you live in a constant depressing fear that everytime you do something with opera it might fail and force you to move back to IE?
In which case, why are you still using opera and why in the hell arnt you using firefox anyway?
:D

I'm paranoid, I have to live in a constant depressing fear about something. I might as while fear something pointless and trivial.
Besides, Opera is far superior to Firefox.

I havn't used Opera enough to know really. Firefox has never bailed out on me anyway so I'm quite content.

Yea, but contentment is relative. Plently of people are *contented* with IE. :/

It took me a while to move away from IE, so I don't think you're going to suceed.
Besides, I tried Firefox and it is only a couple of steps ahead of IE.

Star Worms
30 May 2007, 16:55
Both Firefox and Opera are miles ahead of IE because they actually understand CSS2. I moved away from Opera to Firefox because of all the extra useful add ons that it has (mainly).

Alien King
30 May 2007, 16:56
A couple of very large steps then :p.
But still only a couple!
In any case, I found Opera to be fairly efficient at doing things, more then Firefox, even if I do need to press F5 more than normal.

But with opera you don't have to spend time trawling through extensions as all the good features are already there.

Xinos
30 May 2007, 20:01
I use both Firefox and Opera. It's an old habbit of mine from before the time that Opera could use Gmail, so I set firefox startpage to gmail.com and simply use that as my gmail shortcut =P

Throughout all of my time on the internet, the only "browser complaints" I've encountered (THIS THING DOESN'T WORK ON MY BROWSER!) have been about IE, FIrefox and Opera.
Not one complaint about Safari.
Not only that, but I've never had anything not work because of my browser.
So I believe I win. :p
lol browser arguments.

Does Firefox not have a personal toolbar where you can place links to sites your frequent?

If Mac-users don't want to use a good browser, then whatever. :p
Note that Camino might also be good. I'm just used to Safari by now.

Every review of safari I've read has ditched in favour of firefox and opera, usually because of the large(er) security holes in the browser.

1) No, but I found one very easily, much easier than trawling through long lists of extensions
2) What do you mean by "the search engine box"?

I mean, if almost nobody uses it, there will be much less errors found.
"this program is flawless. I didn't find any error" "did you actually use it?" "who cares?"

I don't think I've had any problems with it up till now.
But you don't really notice trojans, do you? :p

"this program is flawless. I didn't find any error" "did you actually use it?" "who cares?"
So, more users = less problems?
Funny, because a lot of people seem to use firefox, and again, I have seen many complaints that a page doesn't work on FIrefox.
Safari has always properly loaded every page (Except ones that specifically block certain browsers).
And I also will say that I have tried Firefox. I wasn't impressed, and I switched back.
And I would be fine with Firefox if there weren't so many p!ssants trying to "convert" everyone.
Did the browser arguments exist before Firefox came along? Probably, but I doubt they were are popular as they are now.
I still love this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9BON5nd8Fg), though.

Nope, not my point.
Less users = Less problems found
More users = More problems found
Just about the number of people testing.

OH GOD!! didn't notice that thing! that's WONDERFUL!

Nope, read this again but more slowly:
I mean, if almost nobody uses it, there will be much less errors found. Which is infact true in two ways. There are less people to find the errors and, in the subject of viruses, there will be less interest in exploiting any holes in the browser. Thats why IE is so susceptible. Its not necasserily to do with the number of security holes in the browser; the popularity of the browser also comes into play.
Funny, because a lot of people seem to use firefox, and again, I have seen many complaints that a page doesn't work on FIrefox.
Safari has always properly loaded every page (Except ones that specifically block certain browsers). Exactly what Metal Alex was describing to you. Firefox is more popular, therefore more errors are found. I have a nifty book on java which describes safara as a "hell hole for using Java with" :p
And I also will say that I have tried Firefox. I wasn't impressed, and I switched back.
And I would be fine with Firefox if there weren't so many p!ssants trying to "convert" everyone. Thats an odd thought. Ever wondered why we are trying to convert you?
Btw, do you use a mac?

1. Firefox extensions has a search box, you don't just trawl through them all
2. The box which has different search engines on so you can quickly search sites. Or does Opera not have this yet?

Oh, that, yeah, it does, all browsers have that now.

Pigbuster

Because you think that your browser is better and I should change?
Such things would be nice if I was saying that I didn't like my browser and I wanted a new one. In these cases, telling someone to change to Firefox is perfectly fine.
But if someone is fine with what they've got, trying to tell them that there's a better web-browser would only lead to arguments.
Btw, do you use a mac?
Seeing as Safari is a mac only program, yes. :p

2. The box which has different search engines on so you can quickly search sites. Or does Opera not have this yet?It's had it for ages. Heck, you can add any search engine to it without any extensions, just by right-clicking, and they also work on the address bar, such as "g STUFF I'M SEARCHING ON GOOGLE".
