    Hi again, Sheogorath:

    It may be that Opera Mobile changed how it handles JavaScript, as it currently seems to be functional on an Android 4.x phone. But we simply don't have the resources to optimize the site for Opera Mini. Because of how it handles Javascript, we would basically be required to create and maintain a separate version of the site that would only run for Opera Mini. More so, if Opera Mini let a user shut JS off, the site would be more functional. Also, certain tools, such as the character counter and rich text editor would not function at all.

    Due to how much our base code is changing while we're in Beta, the extent of our support for any mobile browser is unfortunately limited to visual modification. Once our code stabilizes after version 1.0, we plan to address mobile access more fully, be it through a modified site or through an app. Right now, though, we simply don't have the time or coder resources to maintain multiple versions of the code to support a specific browser.

    Best,
    Sam J.

      An infographic stating the fact that Autistic children don't 'outgrow' Autism.

      Fair dos, thank you for answering so fully. I'll try to get in touch with Opera to see if they'll fix the issue.
