Links not clickable on certain sites (twitter) & flickr photo pools

Hi

Opera never seems to work on links on pages like twitter when directly clicking on a link (unless its a @username) - I always have to right click on the link to open in new tab.
Theres quite a few sites like this but twitter is most noticeable as I use it more.
Also on flickr when I click on a group photo pool I can only access links to the photos for several seconds before the whole page just freezes and I cant click on anything. Sometimes it looks like I can click things when my pointer turns into a hand but nothing happens when I click

I already tried looking for this through the forums but cant find anything specific to this - hope someone can help!

x Jaz

Yes, I agree. It is totally incomprehensible!

I need to comment on Flickr. Please explain how! It is a simple Java button!!! Why is Opera not Java-conversant.

Strange, I've never had issues on Flickr - what version of Opera are you using, and on what operating system?

Opera 10.54
Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3 on home PC, Adobe & Java bang up to date!.
Windows Vista on work PC, Adobe & Java bang up to date.

Quite simply when I go to post a comment to a photo, the blue PREVIEW and POST COMMENT buttons are not there! Inexplicable Java issue!
I guess there must be a plugin I don't know about.

What's absolutely b***** hilarious is that it works perfectly on Opera 4.2 on my 4-year-old Sony Ericsson W810i!

Ah, not being a member I don't get comment buttons ... but I wouldn't expect it to be Java, rather javascript (which despite the name is not related).

I'm having terrible trouble with Fiickr using Opera Version 10.60, it was working fine several versions back.

It won't allow me to join a new group.

I cannot reply to postings in the group forums, I get the message "Hold your clicks a moment please...Flickr has the hiccups. We're looking into the problem right now.

Uploading photos it will only use the default image name rather than one I want to give it and it will not accept any description unless I edit once uploaded.

Organizer is not functioning at all, no changes can be made and drag and drop does not work.

Everything is working fine with the other browsers.

I can't even sign in to flickr now with Opera 10.60, I get a fatal error every time I try!!!!
