Facebook excludes Opera users in its recent upgrades

Friday, 29. May 2009, 11:07:57

, ,

As of yesterday facebook have rendered their site virtually unusable, for Opera users.
The previous changes, made to impliment the infamous 'new layout' on facebook, left Opera users unable to update their status or write on the walls of their friends and groups. Those issues were problematic but facebook is now near to redundant if you browse with Opera.

The links on the home page and profile page, are totally inactive and just re-load the page when clicked.
Another swell of third party applications, have been rendered impossible to use or pointless due to major features just plain not functioning. These add to the list of applications that have, one by one been altered and not tested with opera. Leaving Opera users feeling cheated and left by the way side.

Even some of the third party application developers have discovered that they can't even access their own applications.

The standard action in these circumstances, would be to make a bug report to facebook. Unsuprisingly one of the features missing a usable link is the bug report form !
So, unable to vent my frustrations directly to facebook I am left pleading with Opera, who I would imagin are non too happy with the currant situation either.

So that`s what happened.. I have experienced several strange things with facebook the last few days, but didn`t know the reason. I am not at all happy with it, but they will not make me quit using Opera. I`d rather quit using facebook..
Thanks for sharing the information :smile:

It's quite disappointing, especially for Opera Mini users who have had a recent spate of site problems (even the My Opera forums are problematic). Hopefully Opera and facebook can work together to sort this quickly.

It would be good to have an official statement, from either side to say whether the problem is likley to be fixed or if we will just faded into the shadows and no solution is going to be found.
