Before posting, some required steps

First of all you should check if the problem is not being caused by an extension or a broken profile. Do the following required steps, re-starting Opera after each one of them and checking if the problem remains after each one.

• Disable all extensions

• Disable the ad-blocker

• Reset settings to default (Do a backup and export your passwords first)

• Reset flags to default

• Create a clean profile folder/directory

• Temporarily disable antivirus, firewall, anti-malware and all related software in your system

• If the problem is with a web page, check if it works with other browsers.

Posting about your problem

After have done the steps above and confirmed that the problem is most probably in Opera, it's time to post about it.

Start the topic with a title that briefly describe the problem so people will know about what this is about.
Don't try to explain all the problem in the title.

Use tags to make it easy for other users to find posts about similar issues. If posting about Opera Mail then add the 'Opera Mail' tag

In the post (body) you should include the following information:

• Your Linux distribution and version

• Your version of Opera

• If the problem is with a page, a link to it

• A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should

• A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible

• Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue

• Expected behavior and actual one
