I saw a link to the script for SALR in the OP of this thread, but I don't get what I'm supposed to do with it. I have this saforums-operahighlight.js file, but where am I meant to put that and how do I make it go?

You know how when you right-click an image, the menu that pops up includes the option "reload image"? What is that supposed to do? It never seems to have any effect at all, for me. I've tried clicking it when an image was fully loaded, when it had stopped loading part way through, when the image was within a page, when I was just viewing an image by itself, it just never seems to have any effect at all. So what is it actually supposed to do and why isn't it doing it for me?

Stevie Lee posted:What's Google's objective in doing poo poo like this? Why Opera, but not Firefox? For a while they were disabling the WYSIWYG editor in Blogger if your browser identified as Opera as well. It's been changed back since then, and identifying as Firefox made it work fine, so it makes no sense that it was disabled. I don't understand why websites disable themselves based on your browser choice. If you want to put up a warning saying that some things might not work as expected because it hasn't been tested in that browser, fine, that's reasonable, but if I want to use that browser anyway and stuff doesn't work, surely that's my problem? You don't need to save me from myself here, I can make my own decisions.

As an alternative, you might want to try Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Fonts -> Minimum font size This can occasionally mess up layouts on some websites, and if there's text that's actually supposed to be really tiny then it will come up as normal sized, but it does help make everything much more readable.

I had a bunch of stuff open that I was going to look through later and Opera crashed. I assumed this would be fine since it should just bring back any open tabs, but the latest version apparently has a bug where it doesn't do that and just loads the last saved session instead. :-(

I have Opera set to open windows instead of tabs but when I click a link in another program (IRC or Twitter client for example) it opens in a new tab of the first available window anyway. Anyone know if there's a way to change that? Or at least get it to use the last available window instead of the first. Also, if I accidentally close a window that has multiple open tabs, there's no confirmation dialogue to prevent me from doing that. I'm sure there used to be and I can't find the option for it, and I'd really like that back.

RoadCrewWorker posted:I used a skin that made Opera look eerily like Chrome for a couple of months simply because the tabs/icons were slimmer so it had roughly 3.5 pixel more ~~rendering space~~. I have the tab bar hidden and use right-button + scrollwheel to cycle between tabs to get extra screen space. :-)

I love that feature, can you do the same for other bars (like the address bar) as well? I have no idea what you're talking about. Here's what my menus and address bar look like.  Are you saying you can put the tab bar into the very top bit, above the menus somehow? That sounds awful.

I have a window open all the time with Facebook loaded, and that window is not maximised. All the other windows I have open are maximised, and the "Maximize New Windows" option under User Prefs is set to 2 (Always maximize, including pop-ups), but every time I open a new window it comes up the same size as the Facebook window, not maximised. Is there another setting somewhere that I'm missing and need to fix or is this just broken?

Tesseraction posted:I typically have 20-30 Opera tabs open and <100 Chrome tabs open. I find Chrome better at Ajax-heavy pages and the like, but Opera better at primarily-text based stuff. Funnily enough thought I was moving away from Opera for a while but Chrome has started getting a little bollocks recently, especially in terms of memory usage. I was using Chromium as a secondary web browser for a while but I found I'd have to completely close and reopen it every couple of days or my computer would becoming unbearably slow, so I'm mainly just hoping that Opera won't start doing that.

Wheany posted:Here is a better link of what has changed: quote:Just like on Opera 14 for Android, we've merged bookmarks into Speed Dial, which give you a visual overview of your favorite pages. You can now group Speed Dials together into folders, just by dragging one on top of the other — if you want, you can name the folder via a simple right-click. What the hell does this mean? How do you merge bookmarks and speed dial? Does this mean that all bookmarks will now appear on the speed dial page whether you want them to or not? quote:Do you sometimes find yourself browsing the web, and coming across pages you want to save for later — e.g. a list of favorite gadgets on Amazon, or a selection of hotels on a booking site? This always posed a problem in the past, and many were using their tab bar to hold tabs for later use. With Opera 15, you can Stash a page, and return to it when you have time. Isn't this what bookmarks are for? How is "Stashing" something different from bookmarking it?

Doom Goon posted:I always thought Speed Dial was very "smart phone" and never adopted it (plus I like clean, fast and low resources interfaces, maybe to a fault). I know some people love it, absolutely love it, and I mean them no ill will or anything honestly, but it is just baffling to me I won't even have the option of simple, quick lists of urls... I use the speed dial all the time, but I have no idea how it's supposed to replace bookmarks. My speed dial has the 16 sites I use most frequently, but I have hundreds of bookmarks — I certainly don't want all of them on my speed dial page. I can't imagine how they'd even display that. Some of my bookmarks folders have dozens of items in them, would I have to further categorise them to get them to fit on the screen?

So, if Opera 15 doesn't support bookmarks or feeds, what happens to those if I upgrade? Do I just lose them all? Is there some way to get my feeds out of Opera and into some other program, keeping the posts I've downloaded and remembering which ones I've marked as read? Do I need to be worried about this or is it something I can ignore for now and only deal with after I find Opera's updated itself?

I'm having a problem with scrolling on my laptop. When I use the touchpad to scroll in Opera it zooms around way too fast, but works perfectly in every other program. Anyone know of a solution to this? All I found with some brief Googling was a bunch of people suggesting to change the touchpad sensitivity, but obviously that would effect everything, not just Opera.

Mithaldu posted:You could try if two-finger scrolling works better, or use middle-click-panning. I don't think there is any way to scroll with my touchpad other than with two fingers, and there's no middle-click button. Besides, middle-clicking in Opera seems to do a Google search now for some reason.

Mithaldu posted:Are you maybe using Opera 15? Also, the other way to scroll is to slide along the right border with one finger. Anyhow, uh, maybe disable smooth scrolling? Or get friendly with the page up/down keys. Opera 12.16, and my laptop's touchpad doesn't have that scroll area on the right side. Or, if it does, it must be disabled somehow, because running a finger up and down the right edge just moves the pointer. And I tried turning smooth scrolling on and off and it didn't seem to make a difference. The arrow keys do work, but it's just really irritating that I can't scroll with the touchpad in Opera when it's working fine in every other program.

Lakitu7 posted:I think the "right side of touchpad" thing is a driver-specific feature. Most laptops I've encountered have a Synaptics touchpad/driver, which did have that feature, and it didn't work with Opera. There's an ancient thread about it here: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=10280 All I can find is the "ELAN Smart-Pad" settings, which doesn't seem to have many options at all. I an change the scrolling behaviour universally, but not just for Opera.

Computer viking posted:Mmh, it's more that the old UI was also an acquired taste for a niche of power users - good for keeping a small and loyal fan base, less so for expanding into the great unwashed masses. I guess moving to a new codebase was seen as a good time to re-target for, well, a lower but more common denominator. How is that expected to work? The only thing Opera had going for it that I can see was that it was a niche product for power users. If Opera is just a regular browser like any other then why shouldn't anyone just use Firefox or Chrome, which have far greater name recognition and are explicitly supported by most websites?

Computer viking posted:Separately - how much more or less annoying than chrome would new opera have been if it were released under a different name? (A rose by any other name might not get the same reception, etc. Not to imply that it's entirely rosy.) I still wouldn't use it, but it would be way less annoying. I'd still be annoyed that Opera was being discontinued to work on this new browser that was way worse, but calling it the same thing when it very clearly isn't is just obnoxious.

And facebook. And tumblr. And..." it's a pretty drat good sign that the browser's broken for the current web environment, and it's not going to get any better. It's a web browser, not a marriage. The sooner you swap to something that just works all the time with no hassle the less work you'll have to do later. Opera 12 still works for everything I need, including Facebook and Twitter. Google sites throw up a message telling me my browser is unsupported, but everything still works fine. That said, I would switch if I could find another browser that has the features I use regularly.
