Not sure why I got an email notification on Sept 14 for an Aug 2 post, which seems to be the last
A spammer came here.
but I am finding that Opera 12.50 (Win 7x64) does show the forums now - at least on my laptop from China.
We fixed some Opera issues.

Yesterday I found out I can no longer access by Opera. I can access by IE8 only. What happens?

Imagine how much more spam we would have then?
Probably very much. Ideally, you should block all IE. Users using IE should just stay with microsoft's player, no need to visit VLC forum. Also IE is most vulnerable to spamming viruses, just ban it completely. Imagine that this forum allowed guest posting a few years ago. Imagine the admins would re-allow guest posting :-)

We already block the ones with IE with extra addons enabled that are doubtful...
