A few questions:

1. How do I remove the system tray icon?

2. If I use the RSS reader, do I need to have the mail client enabled? If not, how do I remove the mail client?

Dunno about #3.

Is there a way to make use of the space that the File bar has, I looked at Arcticthunder's screens and see he's removed it entirely. I'd just like to customize it myself, since I'm at 1280x800 and it feels kinda cramped compared to my Classic Compact FF setup, where everything except is on 3 lines (NAvigation and Addr bar alongside the File bar, Tabs and personal bookmark hotbar by themselves).

You can drag any icon onto any bar you want under "Customize", you know. Go to "Buttons", pick and choose whatever you like, put it on any bar you have visible.

Also I was going to recommend a skin but it seems like Emil is a bit slimmer, so it's not much use. Sorry.

I have a weird thing going on with Opera running version 9.63 under Windows 7 build 7000. When I hit the middle mouse button to quickscroll, it looks like this:



Every now and then it will "refresh" so I see what's actually under there. This is with an ATI X800 running the latest Vista drivers, so I know I shouldn't expect too much. Is this Opera, my video card or just plain old Windows beta? Anyone have the same problem?

I had that on my last PC, so for all I know it could be an ATI glitch (this one has an NVIDIA), but yeah, scrolling too fast would get the stutter for a sec before it caught up. It tended to be in memory-intensive moments (like opening 10 tabs and trying to browse in another). Unless it gets stuck like that, I don't think there's any real harm (or fixes).

Why does Opera choke and stutter on large flash videos like HD Youtube? Works fine on Firefox and IE.

According to what someone told me once, that's not the browser, but a Flash bug. I've known some IE/Firefox people who had it too.

Still have to reset the browser to fix it, gently caress only knows why.

Try testing their JS by going to profiles, browse galleries. Should only take a few secs for it to lock up. Front page might not brick Opera right off the bat.

I'm not seeing it. I'm opening multiple tabs here to test, some gallery, some profile, some just pictures.

What are your Java options/what version are you using? I seem to have Java v6 update 12 installed, Opera 9.64 telling me it's using "Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.6".

Opera can do the dumbest stuff

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.

The far left bookmark is for facebook, you can see the favicon shows up on the tab, but not the bookmark list. Anybody know how to fix this?

Go to the Appdata\Local\Opera\profile\images (or wherever XP's equivalent is, I forget the proper folder offhand- it may just be under Opera's data in Program Files) and delete the stored icon there so it's not cached improperly.

I've had this bug a few times too, it seems to be a thing that happens very rarely when you stop one page loading and then open another in that tab, the icon from the previous is used for the new one and the bookmark sticks with that one.

edit: or maybe someone has a simpler one, whoops! Now I learned something too. (or not because I can't get this to work on one I had with a bugged icon)

New snapshot.

Also, check out these skins; the Steam skin in particular looks great. I'm considering replacing the default theme with it. Only downside to it is that the favicons in the tabs (and text if you have that enabled, I guess) aren't as big as with the default theme. It's not a problem to people who regularly have twenty-or-more tabs open, of course.

Fixed those for you. (Nice skins, though, agreed.)

...really? Then what the gently caress. I have cookies enabled, nothing blocked on the site, and anytime I log in it just redirects me to the front page of the site with "Create Account/Sign In" still in the corner, mocking me.

I can't even think it's a cache thing since that would make Youtube the only site having this issue and my cache settings told to refresh anything it can.

I'll try the release candidate and see if that does a drat thing, I guess.

Liking the new features (for instance, it just decided to tell me "badass" fails a spellcheck... as does "spellcheck"), but goddamnit, for some reason menu font size refuses to be changed from "too drat large". I don't know why, but even manually reskinning it doesn't make the thing work properly with the rest of Windows' theme. 9 was working perfectly in this regard.

Hey, apparently the auto-updater on my 10.10 install didn't catch wind of 10.50's existence. Wonderful. Manually updating has me worried though, as first bootup involved an instant crash loop when pulling my old tabs up, then a second one when the "Crash submitted" page loaded.

Now I have things like this going down:



Since I don't recall anyone mentioning something like this I'm assuming the bug's on my end, but can anyone think of a better solution than uninstalling/reinstalling or a setting I might have to blame?

Mother of poo poo, it's still got that same "let's make all menus gray and unreadable" glitch going on even after a full wipe, and it shat itself trying to import bookmarks it saved perfectly not even an hour ago.

Another entry for the list of "upgrade installs are broken; new installs fix everything."

Not that that's particularly excusable but it's basically the main consequence that's come from this release being rushed. Further, it was rushed to get into the Windows browser menu thing, which would affect only new users who won't have any of those issues.

Yeah but it DIDN'T fix a lot for me when I reinstalled. I flattened, deleted the fucker's leftover files, and still have a bunch of bugs on a fresh install.

This is just a crap release. The first I've had in 5+ years with the browser, so I'll stick with it, but...

You say you deleted the leftover files, but did you go to your AppData directory and delete the Profile and such in there? That's generally the cause of problems in an upgrade, not the poo poo in Program Files.

No, really. When I said "flattened" I mean SCORCHED EARTH, SEARCH OUT EVERY OPERA FILE AND KILL IT IN THE REGISTRY JUST IN CASE.

Still flaky here and there. At this point I've just gotten used to it and I'm waiting for the next stable.

Two gripes going into this version, but otherwise solid and a few sites have sped up for me:

- why the hell did they think I wanted 20 new bookmarks on my bar? If I wanted Ask.com on there I'D ALREADY HAVE IT BOOKMARKED.
- How in the hell do I turn thumbnailing large images off when I open them in a new tab? I know it's only one click to undo it but that poo poo's annoying, and I can't find what they labeled the setting in opera:config.

They're likely loaded by a javascript that randomizes the url to evade such blocks. Try to find out which one's responsible.

It is not too hard to work this if you have a little familiarity with HTML: hit the source, find where on the page the ad would be, and try blocking any scripts one by one and refreshing. If those don't work, check near the top or bottom of the source.

I think I've seen a total of one ad I could never kill in this manner and god only knows why that was.

Can anyone open this page http://occupychi.org/2011/10/07/our-proposed-demands/ without Opera becoming slow and unresponsive? I can't. Lately Opera's been becoming unresponsive more and more.

Have you tried it in another browser to compare? Because it was fine for me until the comments loaded and I'm pretty sure the sheer mass of them is what's making it bottom out. I just opened it in IE and not only was it worse (it actually told me that the site wasn't responding at one point and refused to accept any button input to even scroll), it was worse with a single tab than my ~20 in Opera.

Don't know if you had the same thing I did (I think it may have partly been cleaning up old versions too) but try reinstalling the Flash plugin. Mine kept crashing to the point Opera was even throwing up "Shockwave Flash has crashed" and gave me a "plugin broke D:" image I never saw before.
