Well it appears that google in their "wisdom" has deemed opera to be uncomptible and thus is forcing an ugly static html page on us.
Luckily their is a workaround:
https://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser
or
http://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser
haha... both links bring me right into my account - I guess it's not a static as you think ;)
note: I don't have opera on my system, so I can't see the page you're talking about
>I guess it's not a static as you think

That's why you don't see the static html page...
That's odd. I've been using Opera with Gmail for ages, and it works fine here??
>>edit - or is this a recent (last couple of days) thing?

Static (adj.) Generally refers to elements of the Internet or computer programming that are fixed and not capable of action or change. The opposite of static is dynamic.

The links I posted tell it to not do the browser check.
Why are you commenting on a thread specifically targetted to opera users when you don't have opera? Jeez
RobR: Its a recent as of last night thing. Like 11pm its fine, 12am its all screwy.
It's forbidden by rating check here at work. I'll have to try it at home.
Awesome
Thanks Thantos
um it has been that way for a long time. Click the "i dont care that you care im using my browser anyway you piece of crap" link.
RoD that was only when you attempted to log in. After that it gave you the normal page.
Now it no longer prompts you at log in but it'll give you a completly different looking and acting page if you use opera.
its the same here....
