Let Opera browser use WYSIWYG.

So I use an internet browser named Opera (opera.com), and NS's text editor seems to only allow Mozilla, Netscape and IExplorer to use the WYSIWYG. Opera is a pretty legit browser, and it works everywhere else, so I don't see any reason to not let it work here. Shouldn't be too much trouble to add Opera to the list of browsers that is allowed to use the WYSIWYG feature. =)

You do have the fancy editor turned on, right? I have Opera mobile on my phone and the post editor is WYSIWYG. Seems strange to me.

Yes... I assume so... where can I check that? Whenever I want to write something it reads the following about the text box: "Your web browser does not support WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editable web content. Please consider upgrading to Mozilla (v1.3 or newer), Mozilla Firefox (v0.7 or newer), Netscape (v7.1 or newer) or Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows (v4.0 or newer)." Note that opera and opera mobile or whatever it's called are two different browsers... still seems pretty strange.

Check that fancy editor is enabled by going to My NS > Account Tools and click Yes under the "Enable the Fancy Editor (GUI)?" header.

Yeah, I know Opera Mobile and Opera are different, it just seemed odd that the mobile version would be WYSIWYG enabled if regular Opera isn't.

It was enabled, so the problem persists. Are there any admins that can answer if the WYSIWYG uses a list of enabled browsers? If so, then Opera (desktop version) isn't in it.

As far as I know the editor is a 3rd party plug in so we may not have access to change the supported browser list

And also if chrome and every other works fine, I just don't get why Opera shouldn't work... As far as I know it's one of the most compatible browsers out there... Just seems strange.
