Officialy Opera has never been supported by Google but most flaws have always been minor. However, since Google updated some login procedure last week it is downright impossible for me to log in.

Google helpdesk simply tells me to use either IE or Firefox.

Shame shame shame!

Oh my! Actually, HitProf I don't think it's as bad as all that. ;)

Quoting myself from a earlier thread on the same subject:

...First of all, no, Google does not hate Opera. ;)

Long story short: currently there is an issue, work is underway to resolve it, and it should be smooth sailing again in the near future.

My apologies for the difficulty, and thanks in advance for your patience.

I hope that'll set your mind at ease.

Thanks AWA, I had not seen that. I hope the issue will soon be solved.

Nevertheless helpdesk simply suggested I use IE or FF, no mention of working on it.

I can't wait for Opera to work properly with Google again. Opera is clearly the greatest web browser.

Just tried again and got a "click here to continue" message. After clicking on it I got a new window with access to my MCC.

Don't know if everything works correctly now, just wanted to report I can login again.

Yes! I noticed this too. The interface is still screwed in Opera 8 though. Oh well, it's at least a step in the right direction.

Excellent! Yep, the engineering folks let me know that Opera quirks should be resolved now, HitProf. They will continue to monitor this thread, though - so if anyone has any issues moving forward, this would be a good place to let the right team know. ;)

My contact over in engineering sent me this info, Sweezely:

...on Opera 8 (but not 7), the link may open the new page in a new tab instead of navigating the top frame. This is another security "feature" of Opera... However, the newly opened page should point the user to a page where they are logged in.

There's still a problem with the actual interface though. The drop down boxes that let you set the dates to view the campaign data over aren't selectable. They seem to be "buried" behind some none-working table. I emailed Adwords support about it but they just said that Opera 8 is no longer supported.

Oh well.

GAW login is working again in Mozilla. Very nice. Thanks.
