Kristof Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 (edited) When Opera is loading a site, I often get this message in the statusbar: Waiting for DNS confirmation of cookie domain(s) The message just stays there and no matter how long I wait, it won't go away. This is quite annoying because my horizontal scrollbar is underneath the statusbar, and as long as it stays there, I can't scroll. I can solve this by hitting the Stop button, this removes the statusbar. But this is only helpful when the message comes after the site had loaded. Sometimes I get it when only the background of site has loaded. Nothing else will load as long as the DNS-message stays in the statusbar. Hitting Stop also prevents the rest of the page from loading. I use Opera 7.23 in Windows and in Mandrake 9.2 and I only have the problem in Mandrake. Other browsers, like Konquerer or Mozilla work fine. What can I do about this?

chris z Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 click on "file" in the tool bar, then go to "preferrences". go down to "privacy" in the preferrences settings box & see if "display illegal paths in dialogue box" is checked. if it is, uncheck it. "apply"->"ok". Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristof Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 It wasn't checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 is it just with one site that this is occurrng, or several? if it's just one site, then i'd blame the site itself. if it's several, then i'd check other settings in preferences->network. it might be something else needs to be checked or unchecked in there.

Kristof Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 I have had it with two sites (that I can remember) but it doesn't always happen with these sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 found this with a Google Search ............ "Waiting for DNS confirmation of cookie domains" - I get this error message on www.amazon.ca (with all versions of Opera 7. Is there anything I can do? In File>Preferences>Privacy>Edit Server Filters, add amazon.ca under Accept From Server. maybe that will work??? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
