I'm using
Version 11.61
Build 1250
Platform Win32
System Windows XP
XHTML+Voice Plug-in not loaded
Browser identification
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.61
Still won't work with 'Javascript' enabled. When I click on the 'Forums' link, on the address bar it says 'elements 7/8' and just hangs there with 'Canonrmours forum' showing at the top of a black page.
I'm getting around the problem now having edited the site preferences to run with javascript disabled.
I normally use mozilla firefox, but also have all of the other browsers installed so that i can test my websites as i develop them. I tried to get on the forum with opera and it worked perfectly, loaded lightning fast and i saw absolutely no problem with it.
I'd suggest clearing the cache, cookies and all that, re-start Opera and try again
