That's strange - i'm using both Safari and Firefox (on Mac
OS X) and test the pages against Safari, Firefox, Opera and
IE on Mac and PC to make sure it works on all platforms.
Once they're uploaded, both the fullscreen and the normal
QTVR should be instantly visible in the preview window, no
matter if its already approved or not yet (just tried with
Opera 8.5 / Mac). Maybe some Pop-up blocker or anti-ad
setting in Opera interferes? (However, in that case, i guess
the preview window shouldn't open at all).
Another theory: Do you have any proxy server or something in
your internet connection? (in that case, you may not receive
the current data - though the prep. server is set up to
always send the current time/date of the page to avoid that)
I'll admit I'm a bit lost there...
