Post Icons and Opera
I use Opera 9.01 and it seems to work just fine. I used the "thumbs up" icon as a post icon in a thread and after posting it still showed the correct icon. However, when I looked at the same post in IE6 it was the blue sad face icon. So basically it was showing two different icons in the two different browsers.
I used IE6 to change the post icon and then it was the "thumbs up" icon in both browsers.
It wouldn't be the first thing to not work in Opera, so this is just a heads up.
Edit: for example, this post has the same issue. It has a "thumbs up" (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/images/icons/icon32.gif) in Opera and a sad face (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/images/icons/icon32.gif) in IE. Somehow the same image is showing up differently in both browsers.
Edit again: I loaded just the image in Opera and refreshed it and it changed to the sad face. Which means that now when I pick the "thumbs up" when working with a post (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/images/icons/icon14.gif) it actually adds the sad face. My best guess is that I the icons changed at some point and I still had the old ones cached, but I'm not sure. That's why I'm leaving this post up instead of deleting it. Hopefully it's just a problem on my end.Last edited by Glowball; 02-07-2007 at 12:48 PM.

Both browsers show http://webhostingtalk.com/images/icons/icon32.gif for me.
There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I must have had the other icon cached or something. Maybe this post will help if it happens to someone else. I had to individually load the icon in Opera to get it to let go of the cache.

If I wasn't a Web Developer I'd use Firefox but I am so I've been using Opera for years now. Firefox fixes HTML mistakes and typos so if you use it for development you won't have any idea if you've made a mistake. Opera goes by the book and doesn't fix anything, so I know if it works in Opera there's a good chance it'll work in everything else. Good stuff!
