Having some trouble with using Opera and FA

Well, I updated Opera to version 11.60 and now when I go into submissions and want to mark the images to remove them, I noticed that the "Select all/Global Select All" button has vanished and under Journals/messages the buttons do not check the the boxes to remove them when I click on it. Any idea why that is and how to fix it?

Sounds like an issue with the browser itself. I would recommend either downgrading to a version that works or using a different browser.
If you wish to persist with updated version, make sure all your plugins/addons/whatever are up to date as well. Also be sure to check your browser settings and settings of any addons/plugins/whatever that could interfere with the normal viewing of the site.

I've been using Opera since 9, but I've seen its compatability with websites just go downhill with each new update. I'm considering a shift to Chrome, simply because it appears that some tasks are literally impossible without using a different browser.

ED: Confirmed your problem. I have it too.

At that point, I would heavily recommend a new browser choice.
If you can deal with the large footprint in your RAM, Firefox is one of the better choices. I recommend this above all else, I have 6GB of ram to toss around so the footprint isn't that big of a deal.
If you have a decent processor(something more stable than a quad-core), Chrome is also a choice. This one is retardedly awful on my rig because it opens a new process with each tab.

So, thats why FA is not properly working on Opera? Is that also the cause that certain sites simply crash? I have some issues with really simple webpages, where Opera would simply crash when loading the images in.

my guess is that, while Opera is great about keeping up with the new standards, it's very strict about standards compliance in some areas and sometimes doesn't know how to handle itself when something bad or odd happens.

\that's why I build all my pages in Opera c:

Maybe it's not loading the prototype framework?

Just a guess :roll:

There's a lot of browser sniff going on in the Lazy Load onload queue function that loads the library, but I don't know what getUserAgent() does specifically since it's not global and not defined in the queue function (and I don't feel like tracing out the whole scope chain).

Still, that's the first place I'd look...

I think I found the problem. I was procrastinating a bit and downloaded Opera on here.

The getUserAgent() function (which was right in front of my face this whole time) is *almost* never going to return a match so it will fall under the else clause:

Code: 
if(!ua.ie&&!ua.gecko&&!(ua.webkit>=420)){

  // this line is overwriting script var that's set above that has src = pending.url
  // script=d.createElement('script');

  // I don't understand what this next line is trying to accomplish at all... (is this for debug?)
  // script.appendChild(d.createTextNode('LazyLoad.requestComplete();'));

  f.appendChild(script);

}

With it commented out like that, it seems to work with no errors.

Note the comments I added. The script variable was just getting overridden after it's src element was set, since we were re-creating the element.

Is this whole thing for performance loading the libraries? I'd think they'd just get cached after the first request... (unless it's IE and you're sending the pragma header)

Also, one other thing I also noticed -- it seems you're not closing the body and html tags in the document, at all?

I checked this twice with two browsers to make sure but it looks like that's really the case.

We should report this bug to the Opera Dev team so they can fix that, because I dont know how to do it by myself.

Then we should report this as a site bug then.

It says to fill out a trouble ticket.

I'll go ahead and do that since I can save them some time...

You could probably do the same so you get notified when it's fixed, but I'll send them some technical info.

I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough about Javascript to work it up, but... is it possible to make a tiny piece of code to patch this on the fly? Opera has the ability to automatically inject user-supplied Javascript into pages (on a per-site basis, even!) so it'd be easy for us to use the site in the (likely lengthy) time between FA bug report and fix.

As far as I can tell, it's only trying to load those libraries.

So yes, you could just "inject" those libraries it's trying to load.

I haven't heard anything back on this...

Since it's a one line code change and is affecting at least a handful of people, you think someone could maybe look at this?

(and I already took the time to identify the problem, here)

Unless it's already fixed; the code is near impossible to look at minified like that.

Oh is it not just me? It was fixed and then it seemed to stop working again a few days ago

Code: 
Error thrown at line 536, column 1 in submissiontype_icon_mouseover(description_fill_callback, evt) in http://www.furaffinity.net/js/script.js:
    var id = /id_(\d+)/.exec(container.id)[1];
