Opera 7.22

[zentac]

The forums dont appear to work when using Opera as opposed to IE. Unfortunatly I mainly use unix and linux boxes, So Opera is my browser of choice. Any chance of you looking into this?

When you go into each forum, I can not click on any of the threads. Currently running Opera 7.22 if that helps.

Im no expert on Opera INSERT INTO post VALUES (infact never used it )
But what security level are you using
Have you set it up not to open pop ups as this maybe causing issues

[zentac]

Nah, Its set to accept popups

On of the guys here Kiwitt had a issue using Opera
Couldnt see the top menu
He was using ver 7.23

I will download the latest version and see if it makes any difference.

i know the menus at the top dont work on anything other than IE.. one day ill get round to sorting it :) - but looking at the stats

MSIE 6 16262 70.98%
MSIE 5 5696 24.86%
Netscape 3 367 1.60%
Netscape 7 348 1.51%
MSIE 4 110 0.48%
Netscape 4 52 0.22%
Other 34 0.14%
AOL 4 4 0.01%
Opera 6 3 0.01%
MSIE 3 1 0.00%
WebTV 1 1 0.00%

Just got a alert from web site about Opera too
Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to delete arbitrary files on a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error during the creation of a temporary file when a download dialog box is displayed. The temporary file's name is based on the name of the downloaded file, but inadequate sanitation of certain character sequences in the name makes it possible to conduct a directory traversal attack and thereby escape the temporary folder.

Example, which overwrites "calc.exe" on a user's system:
http://[malicious_website]/[path]/AAAAAAAAAA%5C..%5C..%5Ccalc.exe

Successful exploitation allows a malicious website to overwrite and delete arbitrary files on a user's system with the user's privileges.

The vulnerability affects 7.x versions for Windows prior to 7.23.


Solution:
Update to version 7.23.

Run applications with least privilege to mitigate the impact of exploitation. Users should not browse the Internet with administrative privileges.

I was running 7.23 for a little while while I was tesing our Proxy setup. It was able to show me my download speeds for websites, I have since found another wes site I use for measuring my proxies.

You may want to check this link (http://my.opera.com/community/openweb/idopera/) as some of the MSIE 6 count could in fact be Opera 7.xx
