Temporary layout and scroll fixes for Opera 9.xx users

:iconlassekongo83:
Until the dA developers have fixed the layout and scroll problem that occurs in Opera you can fix them yourself with a little bit of coding. :) In this small tutorial I'll explain how you can create temporary fixes for the scroll wheel problem and the top left background boxes.

You need Opera 9.00 or higher for this to work.

To fix the top left boxes you can do this:

1. Open notepad. Write this:

h1{max-height:100px !important;}

2. Save as whatever.css

3. Open deviantart and rightclick anywhere on the page. Choose Site specific settings.

4. Change the adress to only "deviantart.com" (don't include www or any subdomains).

5. Click on the display tab and load the .css file you just created and click ok.

6. Restart opera. That will remove those background images that blocks you from clicking on some links.

To fix the scroll wheel problem you can do this: (Thanks to [link] )

1. Create a new folder called "dA_UserJS" (or whatever) in your Opera folder.

2. Open notepad. Write this:

document.addEventListener('mousewheel', function (ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
scrollBy(0, ev.wheelDelta);

}, false);

3. Save as whatever.js in your "dA_UserJS" folder.

4. Rightclick on deviantart and choose Site specific settings.

5. Make sure the adress points to "deviantart.com" (don't include www or any subdomains.)

6. Click on the script tab and choose the folder you just created. Restart opera. Scroll problem fixed. :)

Hopefully we won't need to do any more fixes when some other bugs have been fixed by the developers. It's a shame that they didn't test the site properly in all browsers. :/

Opera is working now, anyway. The "search" button still isn't perfect, but at least that weird black layer is gone. :)
