I'm not sure if it's a site problem. http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/a-call-for-video-on-the-web-opera-vid/ has a few sample videos, none of which work for me in the latest weekly.

Even when you completely edit out the fallback text and reload from cache it doesn't work. My guess is that the feature only worked in that one labs preview version.

stupid babies need the most attention
I'm still having big problems with Opera's mail client in 9.64, and I can't download my mail again. It gets stuck at the "Fetching measures (0/X)" part and doesn't report any error messages that I can use to try to get to the bottom of the issue. I used to be able to get around it by deleting spam mail in my inbox using webmail, but now all that's left in there is important messages and it still won't download. Worse yet, the problem happens on Opera across all supported platforms, and if I try to download my mail using some other POP3 mail client it works great. So something's hosed with Opera.

It all started around when my computer crashed and I had to run chkdsk on the partition that Opera's on. I have a feeling something is corrupted. Is there anyway to get Opera's mail client to rebuild all of its various data files or otherwise start over from scratch, but without losing all my emails? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Make a backup of your Opera stuff and install the latest beta version. On one of the updates it told me it needed to do some maintenance on my mail stores and spent 10 minutes working. Maybe that'll help you too.

Alternatively you could maybe try importing the emails manually into a fresh installation via the file>export/import menu.

Just tried this and it did the trick. Thanks for the tip! I didn't think I could do that at first, because there was no option to export mail before I imported it again. And then further investigation revealed it can just import mail from any existing Opera installation.

Great to hear it worked out. Also gives me more incentive to play around a bit with removing parts of my email store to backup, as it gets pretty old to have it handle as much mail as i have all the time.

I take it back - it didn't work out. I just realized that all the old emails I imported are blank. Back to square one, I suppose.

edit: And I just switched back to the old Opera installation from earlier from which I imported all of my old emails, and they're blank there too. So it looks like 2 years worth of work emails just went kaputz. The only clue I have is that every time I select the email to read them, and then select another email, the icon next to the first email I selected turns from a grayed out envelope into a down arrow. Is there anything I can maybe do to recover them?

No, I know, the thing is I want to make tabs open in the background by default. Just so that Opera isn't the only browser I use that'll open tabs actively when I command-click them. It's just me being dumb and OCD, but I'm surprised that it's not an option given the level of customization Opera offers.

It appears that Opera's long-time problem of looking like poo poo in Linux is gone in Opera 10. I can actually use it in Linux now! :woop:

I'm looking forward to see if Mozilla's user challenge to find a replacement for tabs yields anything interesting (their logo redesign sure as hell didn't).

I'm the kind of person who uses at least twenty tabs at at time, and there just aren't any browsers who address this near-satisfactorily.

Usually when operas tabs go above 50, i switch to the "Windows" panel which has handy 'quick find' filtering to quickly switch and drag tabs between Opera windows - it even has multiselect with shift or ctrl. Im still looking for a better "Sort" option, though i guess the name sorting is okay in most cases.

Uhm, why didnt you just, you know, try to actually "drag and drop" them between windows (on the tab bar that is) like you can do in a single window to manually reorder them? Granted, its one at a time, but its still more intuitive. Also grabbing a tab and pulling it outside of the window (or on areas that cant 'process' tab drops) automatically opens the tab in a new window. It doesnt even reload/refresh the page, so movieplayers just keep on playing.

Being able to categorize my tabs, be it by colour, space separation or anything else would probably end most of my woes. I wish I could post the suggestion on Opera's forums, but as my user name is my full name, I'm not likely to do it, but if anyone else wants to.

I knew about dragging a tab outside to create a new window, in fact, as you said, to make it easier to watch videos. But the last time I tried to drag tabs between windows it didn't work. Maybe because I didn't drag the tab to the tab bar?

I was just installing some Greasemonkey script, and when I started Opera again, all my tabs were gone(!). Now Opera won't load my session, but starts with a blank page.

Anyone experiencing the same thing (running the latest Snapshots)?

EDIT: Weird; now it's loading some previous tabs, but only SOME of them. Odd. EDIT: And now it won't. Sporadic, I guess.

EDIT2: And I've only JUST found the hidden Restore Previous Session (autosaved) - too late for me to restore the session, since it's already been succeeded (or any of my previous crashes). I think Opera confuses "features" with "easter eggs".

I think I have a new toy for when I need to screenshot something extremely obvious.

Speaking of the obvious, and this is probably more user error than anything: just upgraded VLC to 1.0.0, but something flipped out and now Opera no longer has the plugin for streaming audio/video. I cannot figure out how to get ANY player on this PC (vista 64-bit) to recognize Opera 9.64 as something needing a goddamn hand here. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Trying to use the link that a busted stream gives me takes me to Microsoft's site for... XP downloads of WMP, no plugin, and none on their site for Vista I can find.
