Binge posted:Really dumb question, but is Flash support a known issue with 9.6x? I fully switched over to using Opera full time, but watching any full screen video causes Flash to error. It will still play back, but not very smooth. You can change the progress bar. Go to "Tools > Appearance > Toolbars tab > Progress Bar" and pick one. I like Simple.

Does anyone have problems doing online applications with Opera? Whenever I do the Unicrew application (for Best Buy, Borders, Circuit City, etc.), when I don't enter anything in the phone number field, it pops up a script error that doesn't stop, and the only way to close it is manually ending Opera's task. I have to do them in other browsers.

It seems that having to press back multiple times has crept its way back into Opera.  I think I'm just gonna wait for the stable version. This one seems to have taken the liberty of making itself the default internet browser, which I didn't want, and Windows doesn't recognize that there are two different versions of Opera installed, so I had to uninstall both versions and reinstall 9.62 to get everything back.

hobolooter posted:I'm still getting many random issues with Facebook, GMail, and SA. All of these sites I tend to frequent on a regular basis. Opera tends to do things to piss me off, but having pages fail to work properly is just really obnoxious. An example is posting to someones wall on facebook, it doesn't show up. So I mashed the enter key thinking it was just slow and it posted like 7 times. GMail often gets stuck between inbox and compose, which is just a hassle to refresh. Why is it that people don't know how to not double post? Hit submit once, and if it doesn't do anything, hit refresh and it will probably be there. This isn't directed at you specifically, since you're obviously having recurring problems here, but generally speaking, browsers hang every once in a while, it happens. That poo poo reminds me of people that double click everything, including things like hyperlinks. NashAsh posted:I've always known about this "feature" but thought I might mention it here:

ColdPie posted:I think it's kind of interesting how mouse-focused you guys are while I'm completely keyboard-focused. Want to switch tabs? Ctrl-tab. Close a tab? Ctrl-W. Open a new tab? Ctrl-T. Reload current tab? Ctrl-R. Submit a post? Tab, space. It's really just personal preference. Web applications are generally very visual, so I'll use the mouse. But when I'm at work, using QuickBooks, or Word, I'll use the keyboard for everything and just tab/shift-tab all over the place. Edit: VVVVVVVVV Yeah, one of the things that bugs me about Opera is that the Fast Forward feature doesn't always work. A lot of the time that I try to use it, it brings me to the last page, or the next thread (depending on the site). Cosmopolitan fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Dec 10, 2008 |

Lakitu7 posted:You're right; you can't customize it. However, you can kill it and recreate it to a fairly large degree as part of another bar via some hacky custom buttons. Their behavior as "menus" isn't perfect when finished, but it works okay if you rarely use them. Hell, if there were a Feeds panel, I wouldn't need to use the toolbar at all. Edit: VVVVVVVVVVVVV Doesn't look like it lets you add it to the side panel, and there's not much point in getting rid of the toolbar if I'm just going to be moving a dropdown menu from one place to another.

For when you highlight some text, and go to "Search With...", is it possible to set this to open up a new tab, instead of using the active tab? I've checked around in the settings, and I didn't see anything.

The amount of work i could get done using Opera at work vs. Firefox w/ no extensions may be staggering, but at least I'll still have my (crappy) job as long as the workload keeps piling up! Don't mean to derail, but what job do you have where you do nothing but use an internet browser?

I've been using my Ubuntu partition for the past few days, and I have to say, the Linux version of Opera kind of sucks. It just feels like I'm using it in Wine, or something; it doesn't integrate into the OS's interface at all. The dropdown menus look like the Windows Classic theme or something. I find myself using Firefox most of the time, because its Linux version just looks natural. They should really work on getting Opera a better integrated Linux interface.

Something about Opera that's bugged me for the longest time is that if you have a lot of bookmarks, the dropdown menu overlaps the actual Bookmark button itself, so quite frequently, I'll accidentally hit "Bookmark Page...", since it's the first button, and have to cancel it. Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this?Floating Fish posted:My laptop has a middle mouse button that is used to scroll but this doesn't work in Opera. Is there any way to configure Opera to get this to work? 1. Find out which button your middle click is (usually Mouse 3 on a normal mouse). 2. Go to Tools | Preferences | Advanced | Shortcuts | Edit Mouse, find the function you want it to do, and edit it, or make a new one.

As far as I can tell, everything about the new version is the same to me, except it's faster (and as I'm typing this post, I can tell the inline spellchecker is awesome), which is all good in the hood. However, I like to keep a search dialog open on my personal bar for Wikipedia, Amazon and Google. Whenever I close Opera (as I do a lot) and reopen it later, the boxes are always gone Have you tried:

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

Sergeant Hobo posted: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. Firefox scrunches the tabs together just like Opera for me, and I don't see anything about extender menus in the options. 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.

Adrnshw6 posted:Is Opera Unite down? I just downloaded the new Opera and set Unite up but there I get an error that says: Web Server Error: The proxy server appears to be down It's doing that to me as well. Opera Link doesn't seem to be working for me in this build either. It downloaded 2 of every bookmark, and doesn't download the custom searches at all. Wish I hadn't completely uninstalled the previous build beforehand. Also, one thing that nobody else has mentioned yet is the UI changes. I like the new buttons/text fields. I'd like the bolded tabs for unviewed pages, if it didn't mark every tab as unviewed when you relaunch Opera. As far as Opera United goes: it seems cool, but there's nothing here I, as a tech savvy user, can't get with Dropbox, or Flickr, or whatever. Maybe I'll find a use for it later and change my mind. Edit: Also, Wand is no more. It is now called Autofill.
