68K/Coldfire board LINK problem with Opera Web browser

[w_wegner]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place...

I am also using opera (9.22 Build 8801 on WinXP) and have some weird problem with the forum (68k/COLDFIRE in my case). It looks as if the whole lower part of the page except the main page has some "overlay" that causes any klick being interpreted as a link to the main page, i.e. when navigating somewhere in a message thread, I can not follow any link.

As an example, this happens when I try to read the thread "TBLCF open source debugging cable". When I open the first page, I see the links to the 2nd and 3rd page, but clicking on them brings me to the M68K/Coldfire main page. The same applies to the "Reply" and other function links on these pages. (My answer to the last posting was made by guessing the message ID...)

In case I can provide any more information to solve this, please let me know!

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

This is the perfect place.
As soon as I am back from vacation, I will re-install Opera to investigate.

Cheers,
Alban.

Sorry, something went wrong so I posted a new message instead of a reply.

Hi again,

I just upgraded to the most recent opera (9.23 8808), and the problem is still there.

However, I just found a possible cause: the effect of the whole background (and other links) acting as a link to the M68K/Coldfire main page starts exactly in the line containing the header and link "M68K/Coldfire Microprocessors". And, when this "link" is active (which can be seen by the mouse cursor changing and the descriptive box opening), the corresponding navigation link above this header is underlined as active.

Sorry for the weird description... Hopefully the attached screenshot with the mouse pointer somewhere behind "Daniel," is more descriptive.

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

Problem observed and confirmed on CF/68k board only.
I am looking to see if an HTML tag has not been left open somewhere...

Under investigation now.
Regards,
Alban.

Hello,

I identified the mistake in the source code.
As suspected it is a problem with a tag left open.

I'm passing the info to the EWM Team so they can fix.

Cheers,
Alban.

Hello,

Tom solved it.
My Opera is now working properly without an overall link to the board.

Cheers,
Alban.

Hi Wolfgang,

Don't know about your exact problem, but a workaround may be to adjust settings in your profile to shorten the pages by only displaying one message at a time and all of the subjects.

Or change the messages per page... etc.
