We will support Opera, we just didn't have time to test it in Opera before release and didn't want to claim it worked without that.
I've tried it in Opera, and it's perfectly usable apart from some weird scrolling issues where you can scroll the whole site off the page, and sometimes Opera doesn't seem to want to redraw some items in the songlists without scrolling a bit.
Just click the "Let's take a chance" button when the browser compatibility lightbox opens and the site will let you in.
- asnyder 16y agoFair enough, but the phrasing suggests your browser isn't modern enough, rather than Grooveshark hasn't been tested to support it, which can be somewhat frustrating to a user of the browser, which may in fact be modern and up to date.
- wanderr 16y agoOur copy writers don't always get the why's exactly correct for this stuff, so I apologize for them for making it seem like Opera isn't modern. In reality, our current temporary lack of support for Opera is entirely Internet Explorer's fault. It took all our available resources to get the site working reliably in IE there was none left for Opera. Which sucks because Opera is /fast/ and standards compliant...but it has very few users.
- bigOnotation 16y agoIt doesn't quite sound like that's the intention here. "We've tested the new Grooveshark in modern versions of Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari. It looks like you aren't using one of these browsers." I guess ask them, but to me that reads like "Recent versions of these browsers have been tested. You aren't using something we have tested on." Good job, though, Grooveshark folk! I love the updates so far.
- Indyan 16y agoI love the update, but yeah please do support Opera. Also I feel really silly now for not renewing my subscription before the price bump. Stupid me.
