Re: Problem posting on PPCG w/Opera =(

This is what the sprint version says:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile 6.0) Sprint T7380


while the tmobile version's custom user-agent is:

Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) T-Mobile Rhodium

I used tmobile's custom user-agent and it has solved both of my problems. i can choose if i want to go to the mobile site or not and i can now make posts from the desktop version of ppcgeeks.

I hope this helps others because ive saw several people saying they were unable to post due to the greyed out reply box
I tried this and I still get sent to the mobile version of certain websites. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the setting in opera:config, under "User Agent"-->"Spoof UserAgent ID". The default value is 1. Any ideas for a different setting?

EDIT: Nevermind, I removed the "T-Mobile Rhodium" part and it works fine. Thanks.
