I updated my attachments in the thread on my hold, Abel's Hold, in DROD Architecture board just a while ago. This involved deleting two attachment and adding one.

I could not delete an attachment when using Opera 9.52 with Windows XP. After two tries I started up IE 7 instead, and it allowed me to delete the attachments. With Opera I didn't even get the confirmation dialog. It just seemed to hang when loading the URL with the delete attachment action.

Is this something that happens to other Opera users? Should I test this in more detail?

Testing with a meaningless text file...

edit: Yep, I couldn't delete the attachment in Opera either (Vista+9.52). Just an empty deleteattachment page that didn't go anywhere. IE had no problems, as reported.

Not terribly surprising, since the onclick javascript function detects Opera as a special case and just returns true without asking, and without passing the magic variable that presumably tells the deleteattachment page to go ahead and delete the attachment

To fix it, you could replace the confirmLink function with this:

    return confirm('Are you sure you want to\n' + theQuery);

and fix deleteattachment.php to not require the is_js_confirmed var. It's unnecessary; returning false from confirmLink will cause the link to not get followed anyway.
