Opera causes 'loop back' when opening a forum page...

Your login cookie has expired. Many forums (or other sites) redirect to their default page if you need to login. If you log back in, it should work after that.

Kinda figured that but in this case, logging in doesn't stop the loop back. The site shows that I'm not logged in when I click on the bookmark, I log in, and it still loops back to the front page when I click on the page I'm trying to get to.

Ah, it cached the redirection. Reloading may help.

@leocg Nope, that doesn't do anything.

Do you use some internet security/privacy program? A few of those can block cookies ... I'm not specifically aware of any Linux programs which would do this, but I recall some Windows programs that can.

@sgunhouse Hmm. Interesting. Yes, Opera comes with several built in features. Ad blocker, VPN, some kind of guard to prevent bad URLs from loading. I'm only using the Ad blocker most days. I'll turn off what I can and test.

Also check third party programs, what is what I guess he was talking about.

@leocg I'll have to do some digging because I can't find much in Opera's settings that tell me if the features I have on or off are external or not...

So I don't know if I have any 3rd party programs running in Opera.

You don't because Opera doesn't run third party programs. And, of course, you will only find Opera's settings and features in Opera's settings page.

Someone on the RV'ing forum where I'd also posted this query asked if I'd deleted my browers history. I had not. Cookies and cache yes, history no.

When I cleared the history, I can now access the single link at the forum I'm interested in. No more redirecting.

Thanks.
