Fix for Opera browser Photobucket problem

[ColinJ]

I have been having problems for some time with images in some posts on CycleChat not showing in my Opera browser (ver 12.17). I finally found the fix for the problem ...

• Open the opera:config advanced configuration page
• Go to the "Network" section
  
• Under "HTTP Accept" enter the following string: image/gif, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-application, application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument, application/xaml+xml, application/x-ms-xbap, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*
  
• Click the save button at the bottom of the Network section

That's weird. I've been running the latest Opera for months now on 2 Windows 8.1 PCs and a Linux Mint 17 laptop, all 64-bit OSes, with no problems. Opera 29 is the latest. Am I missing something?

Yes - the bit where I said I was running Opera 12.17!
(I don't like the new version.)

I didn't know whether that was a typo. I wouldn't be surprised to find issues with older versions. If there's a fix then no problem.

I don't normally run outdated software but Opera changed the browser too much when they scrapped the original and started again.

I quite often end up using Firefox or Chrome as alternatives these days.

Fair enough.
