Wheany posted:Okay, so they're giving up on the user agent version string issue. When the first weeklies came out, they said that using a version string such as "Opera 9.9 (10, really)" would just lead to "Opera 9.999 (10, really)[no, actually, it's 11]{seriously though, it's 12}" uhh... what?

Anunnaki posted:uhh... what? Users reported that some sites that sniff user agents break since they don't expect a user agent string to contain more than one number. So "Opera 9" is correctly interpreted as Opera browser, version 9. "Opera 10" is incorrectly interpreted as Opera browser, version 1. Broken sites then refuse to let you in and tell you that you need to upgrade your outdated Opera 1 browser to at least Opera 6 or something. People suggested that as a workaround Opera change their user agent to something like "Opera 9.9 (Opera 10)" and initially the developers refused. Now the changelog says that Opera 10's user agent is "Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00"

Yeah, that's been happening to me too, but I usually just edit the site preferences to identify as Firefox.

I love Opera a lot for all its features, even more than I know exist. However, one thing in particular that bugs me is the custom search. It's great to be able to search by just using one or a few letters, but why aren't we allowed to organize the search list? I very rarely add my searches in order, meaning they'll be mixed together. Are there any programs out there (or can someone write a simple one?) that lets you organize these custom searches? I know you can edit search.ini, but that's not really a very simple way of doing it, since you have to rename everything and copy/pasting like a maniac. A program that easilly lets you move a search up/down would be great.

ixpfah posted:I love Opera a lot for all its features, even more than I know exist. I don't know of an answer, but one suggestion I have would be to add the "View" button, from the "Browser View" section of the Buttons tab of Appearance. Then, you can click it to open and close the View bar easily. You can empty out the view bar and fill it with custom searches in whatever order you want. Honestly though, I really have to suggest keyword searches. I used to do things the same thing with just using the search bar, got turned onto keyword searches and they're just so much faster.

The way Opera works, I wouldn't know, since unloaded images aren't marked or indicated in any way. Is there a way to make Opera indicate that there's an image that's not loaded?

On my 1280x800 laptop, I run Opera at 1062x770 (per a quick screeshot). When I hit F11 to fullscreen a page or image, and then hit it again to revert back to windowed mode, the browser window is now maximized. Clicking on Restore Down doesn't change Opera out of maximized size. I haven't checked to see if closing and reopening Opera reverts it to my preferred window size, but I'd like to know if there's a way to have Opera revert back to the normally used size when exiting F11 fullscreen mode.

ixpfah posted:Yeah, I've noticed that not all broken picture links are made "visible". No idea why, and it blows. Some links do show up, though, but not all of them. At least it's not that links that don't exist doesn't show, while images that simply isn't loaded (for some reason) gets that "no image to show" icon. I was just in a photoshop thread, and both the pictures with the "no image to show" icon and those that didn't show at all could be loaded by right clicking and "show image". When you quote my post, it does show up. My working hypothesis is that it only works when there's are HEIGHT/WIDTH tags, but I think that's also true of Opera without the script?

Hmm, so they just decided to ditch tabs altogether and go with thumbnails instead? It's bold of them to move away from most (all) of the competition's look with normal tabs; we'll have to see how it works tomorrow.

Looks pretty awesome, although I wish you could get the thumbnail tabs to show up if you're keeping the tabs on the left or right side. Most screens have a lot of unused horizontal space but the thumbnail tabs aren't worth the vertical space they take up.

Seems to be pretty interesting so far. I'll give the visual tabs thing a try for now, but it seems to take up a lot of space. Maybe if the Menu bar or something was removable ala Chrome. Also, Facebook seems to be kind of wonky with the new beta. Sergeant Hobo fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jun 3, 2009 |

Still on 9.64, when I'm wireless and try to post a comment on Facebook, Opera seems stuck on the posting part but never finishes. Works fine in IE8, haven't tried it wired yet.

With every new browser release, it becomes more and more frustrating to avoid using tabs. When I click the "O" icon from my quicklaunch, if I already have Opera open, it will just create a new tab. How do I get it to open in a new window? Better yet, is there a "disable tabbed browsing" box that I can untick (I seem to remember one in Firefox). e: This is with the new Opera 10 beta 1. e2: Checked and doublechecked. "Open Windows Instead of Tabs" is the thing. Meroin fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jun 3, 2009 |

Want to simulate Google Chrome's tab-process look in Opera? Click here for the full 1435x510 image. removed title bar with winchanger, removed the menu bar with a shortcuts edit. if I absolutely have to have my titlebar back for moving the window (which never happens), double tapping f11 brings it back, and then I kill the title bar again with a winchanger script that I have saved. simple stuff, but I'm so anal about screen real estate and I can't believe its taken me this long to get it done.

Now that I'm using the visual tabs (which are growing on me a little), it seems I'm forced to use the extender menu, the behavior of which I detest. I guess I'm too used to Firefox's extender where I can scroll the tabs if I move the mouse wheel by hovering over the tab bar. I will also try out winchanger later. Sounds perfect.

I don't know; I run a stupid amount of tabs and just putting the tab-bar on the left side seems like it does everything I want it to do. My only real complaint is that it takes a while to close/open but it's not like I ever close it or reboot anyway. For those using the beta, this visual tab thing is fully optional, right?

Lakitu7 posted:For those using the beta, this visual tab thing is fully optional, right? Yes. All it is is just a draggable tab bar. When you drag it out, the visual tabs show up, if you've enabled it. EDIT: Just saw something interesting in my bookmarks.

I use Opera quite a bit and really like it but I was wondering is there any way to get the tabs to work in the same way as they do in Internet Explorer 7? On there I can middle click three different links and they'll appear next to the active tab in the order I clicked them so 1, 2 and 3. The only options I've been able to see with Opera is "open new tab next to active", which will have a similar effect but the order is 3, 2, 1.

Plorkyeran posted:I used to do that, then I realized the Window panel is both more space efficient and usable once you have enough tabs open. Hmm, this looks good for saving space, but is there any way to sort it besides alpha-by-title? I'd like it to just be in some order-opened / user-specified order like the tabbar, so I don't have to look for certain tabs in different places each time.

If you click on the column title the sorting cycles between sorted by name (desc), sorted by name (asc) and sorted by tab order.

Oh, I see. That's a little odd but it works. Now I wish I could scroll it to the left just a little bit instead of having ~1cm wasted space for an indent, but it's still an improvement over the tab bar. Thanks. [edit] On the plus side, this is also convenient to turn on/off with F4 or the little button. Lakitu7 fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jun 4, 2009 |

The autoupdater has failed on both machines I tried it on. Windows 7 32bit machine and Vista 64 machine. Apparently, it does not like UAC. Thanks again Opera. Edit: New speed dial look is nice, tab bar is kinda cool but takes up way too much space. Good to know they didn't fix Bumper Stickers on facebook, either.

It would be awesome if you could just scroll instead of going through a menu, how do you enable that? Also, I would use the visual tabs if they could be seen on the left, instead of just the top.

It scrunches them together but if you open enough beyond that, it'll add the arrows on either side of the tabs. Then, all you do is hover your cursor over it and scroll with the wheel.
