I use Opera when viewing Bike Forums and it must crash Opera at least four to eight times per day. Do we know if there's a necesarry plug in or have the software developers not paid sufficient attention to the less popular browsers?

What version of Opera are you using? I use 7.54 without any problems each day on the forums.

Yeah, I upgraded from 51 this morning but just now 54 crashed. I do believe it may be a connectivity issue. Once it crashed about 5 times in a row. Finally I opened it in Firefox and noticed the site was down/diconnected.

i dont like Opera and Opera wont let me uninstall it either im more partial to firefox and the mozilla browsers, try them man :)

Edit the registry if it won't let you take it out. I like Firefox and the others, I've just grown used to Opera. At work I like to divide everything into it's own little boxes. I use IE for work related stuff. Opera for browsing forums. Firefox for other sites and I'll keep Nutscrape open to compare loads.

lol nutscrape thats classic hehehe i'll see if i can get it out from the registry.

Be careful but just about anything can be removed via the registry.

yeh im a little nervous when it comes to registries i sure wouldnt want to delete the wrong file, i tried getting rid of it from the control panel and then remove hardware but every time i do i get some weird error message, for some reason the uninstall wont initialize.

Yeah, it's actually software :D

hehe yeh youre right :)

If you're worried about it. Get a tech to edit your registry for you. Should take about ten minutes max and cost about $25 tops.

Either that or install the latest version over the top and see if that helps. Opera isn't a bad browser really.

I'm having a problem with loging on with Opera, switched to IE and I'm in first time.
Didn't try Firefox..will see later if it works.
See ya, John

It's bikeforums. Get opera 8 beta. No crashes. The crashes i've seen mainly come from loading a massive amount of background windows and switching between them (loading even several usually incites a crash).

The funny thing is it does this a lot with BF. (7.54).

Bonus for 8 beta is gmail support.

To IE users: I hope you like slow and crappy.
To Firefox users: Hope you like using IE rebranded.

I've used older versions of Opera on my laptop, my desktop, my phone and my PDA to view BikeForums and have not had a problem with crashing. Admittedly, I have not tried the latest release.

BTW, how is it that Firefox is IE rebranded? The internal architecture of both browsers radically differ.

It is weird i've only had a problem with loading BF on the 7.something releasese. But then again I wasn't really using the older operas before I started mongering bikeforums.

I use Opera 7.54 at home with no problem. However, Opera at work crashes every session when browsing BikeForums.

I like Opera for the mouse gestures but use Firefox from time to time, also. Regardless, I refuse to use IE. :)

I use Mozilla Firefox at home and work. No problems. I'll never go back to IE.

Ditto.

The only issue I've noticed since switching to Firefox is that when I go back to a previous page in BikeForums, it opens at the top of the page, as opposed to where I left it. In other forums/sites I visit, it goes back to where I was. Since I browse the forums from the bottom up, I constantly have to scroll down to go to the next forum or next thread. It's not that big of a deal, I've gotten used to it.
