I have just received this from the host of my nPOPuk site at:
http://npopuk.org.uk
(Yes, I know it needs some fixes to the CSS!)
 
So it looks like the Opera guys really are ganging up you, Nabble! :-)

Let's hope the fix can be applied soon!

Greg,

Mike Taylor of Opera Software noticed our reported problems with Nabble and Opera, and came up with a fix, per message below, which is my response to him.

Hi Mike,

Thanks.  Looks like you've gone the extra mile here.  Nabble is a nice service, and Opera is a nice browser, and it will be nice if they can work together better.

I haven't looked at the fix you offer in the context of the code where it exists, yet, but what it seems that you are saying is that the problem is in Nabble, not Opera, and almost looks like they intentionally broke it!  Or maybe, they had coded a work-around for some prior Opera non-conformity that should have been version specific?

(I realize the standards are getting tightened up, and that things that used to be open to interpretation are now getting nailed down).

There in an open source project called nPOPuk that I am involved with a bit, and it is using a Nabble forum.

You can find it at http://npopuk.org.uk/2.16/forum.htm

Since we are just referring to their embedded forum hosting service, I don't think we can apply the fix directly, but have to wait for them.

Glenn
