The software does not play well with Opera Browser. Won't allow posts replying and quoting another's posts and has no edit button.

I haven't looked at Opera since the Chinese company Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund bought it. By chance do you know if it's running Presto, Webkit, Blink or Neon? I'm not sure but I think anymore it's just a wrapper around Google chrome, kind of like the Microsoft browser turned into.

I had to install a QR CODE reader on my phone to log on to dr1 on my desk top, we are really making progress.
Hopefully we can take blood samples next round to authenticate our identity
Tech passes sock puppets, assuming one identity per cell phone. Don't be surprised if cell phone purchases suddenly increase in Hamilton ON...;)

The 2nd Auth should be turned off as we verify it is working properly. AFAIK it is "opt in" only and not a requirement, however when the site first went live it may have been required, I don't remember.

According to Wikipedia:

it's changed at least 4 times. For example, if they are using windows 7 and never updated opera it's probably not chromium. :)
If it's modern it should behave as Chrome AFAIK. Chrome seems to work

I switched over to Firefox as my new (actually old user of this) browser

This is the message that appears and asks you to verify using Opera browser.

By-the-way, the verify request just started yesterday for me using Opera, the 4 days prior it was never required.

Just tried FireFox and it asked me to verify also.


VPN ON: Need to verify with Firefox and Opera.
VPN OFF: No verify required on Firefox or Opera

I tried back and forth several times, same results.

Frank R, google "spam list" sites and plug your IP address into a couple of them to see if it is flagged. Your IP likely appears on a list that the gateway uses to control direct access. It is the gateway that is flagging your address not the DR1 server.

SantiagoDR, your VPN address(s) similarly appear on a list used by the gateway. Try using a VPN server other than the one(s) you regularly use - different cities/different country. You should eventually hit on one that isn't blacklisted - yet.

I didn't like it at first, but once the "like" option appeared and I marked all fora as read, I discovered that when I open a thread the software automatically takes me to the first new post.

I haven't figured out how to go to last post in a thread yet, however. Also, I have yet to find private messages, or are they gone?
