Tuenti doesn't supports Opera.

Tuenti doesn't supports Opera.

It's the second most popular social networks in Spain.

They show a ridiculous message on their homepage:
"We no longer support your browser, please use one of these alternatives: Internet Explorer 8 or FireFox 3"

Does anyone know if Opera has problems at all with Tuenti?

There is a fairly bad layout bug occurring if you try to use the chat (I've been trying to patch that but something changed when I thought I was done, so we're not there yet.).

Apart from that it works pretty well.

Ok... So, wouldn't there be a browser.js way to simply hide the message? It's the most annoying thing!
Visitors coming to the website and seeing a message:
- Tuenti: "Hi, we don't allow you to use Opera, stop using it!!! Download IE or Firefox so our lazy developers can stay doing nothing."
- Visitor: "I believe in everything Internet says, specially Tuenti where all my friends are connected, I'm going to download this Mozzarella Firefox thing."
*Opera market share decreases*

Great! Thanks, I hope you'll get there soon! I assume users won't have to change the way Opera identifies itself, right?

Concerning the "browser no longer supported" message, I guess no user would complain if it disappeared, but I doubt Opera will hide it by default. After all, Picasaweb still shows that annoying banner about your browser not being supported. Hiding it through some UserCSS should be fairly easy, though.

These websites developers block Opera or doesn't plan things to work on any web browser, they exclude Opera with that browsing sniffing and ordinary show to the visitors messages like "pick this or that web browser, I'm lazy/stupid" and Google says "YOU, use Google Chrome and don't use Opera!", they do that and they know what they are doing, right? Yes, I'm right.
So... I'm passionate about Opera blocking this kind of messages telling to users switch from Opera. Opera Software has the right to that.
This action won't give any problem to Opera Software as it can be considered as simply ad-blocking, which isn't illegal.

+1 for update to hide the message

Yeah, Picasa shows the message, but what about all those sites that qualify under useragent switching. Opera does that, and the message that would normally appear on some sites, disappears. I am all for disabling messages telling users to switch browsers.

That's a good point. But for all those sites, "There are several reasons why Opera might modify your pages. [...] Opera may prevent a browser detect on your pages from causing problems", as stated here.
Any way, I'd like the message to disappear/get hidden, too, maybe as a side effect of the chat fix if it doesn't qualify for a browser.js fix by itself.

And don't forget about hiding the message in Google support (help pages), that wouldn't require any fix (only for Orkut chat [what's the problem with these alternative social networks chats uh? Facebook works fine...]).

Updates and my comment on this topic.

Hmm, I appologize for reviving a dead thread, but the problem has not been solved, as a matter of fact Tuenti is completely and utterly unusable on the latest Opera 12 alpha release (Build 1155- Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; Edition Next; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/12.00) And has been so with the exact same issues on all other alpha releases, and the latest stable Opera 11.

Here is a screenshot (with some blackening for privacy's sake, my appologies.) No hyperlinks or javascript is clickable, and as can appreciate there seems to be some CCS rendering errors too.

(Off Topic: I also seem to experience sections of sites going completely black in a rather extensive list of websites (Google, Yahoo, GMail, My router's setup page, Facebook, among others...), as well as many links and boxes becoming unclickable, I'm unsure if this would be of any help to fix the abvove issue.)

It was solved but Tuenti might have updated their Website since then, creating new issues.

This may be happening because of hardware acceleration problems. Check info about it here and report you data.
