'Flag this!' button is not displayed with Opera Mini,, for a short while it was present with mini6.0 and reload the page without any effect so why this popup form (over+lightbox?) is not functional? . Also quote button is pro forma and I don't see how should work as copy-paste function (opera mini).

Yeah, I realised the flagging function was now working after reading someone's post in this thread. But I had already posted the spam link here and didn't want to leave a blank post by editing it out.

Yep, you could say that this topic is now pretty much redundant.

Markdown - Automatic Link Syntax not Working

Also, when the forums try to linkify a plain text link, "(" and ")" in the link must be escaped with a backslash or you get:

http://www.example.com/some file ( M2 ).mhtml

However, reddit's markdown handling doesn't require you to do that. Neither does stackoverflow's. They know the( and ) in this case are part of the URL, especially since there's no use of the []() syntax in this case.

But, even with the []() syntax, stackoverflow knows the ( and ) inside the URL itself are part of the URL and not a delimiter/opener/closer for the link syntax.

Stackoverflow's and Reddit's handling just seems to be more robust.

Stackoverflow uses the StackEdit editor that uses the pagedown markdown converter. They're both open source.

Some sites might require confirmation from the old mailbox - otherwise they are shitty sites.

It seems that posting two comments in a row on the same topic triggers some antispam protection.

In my opinion, many users have problems about lost data which they post on the myopera, although Opera inform to users about deadline to close Opera. In this case, Opera should support for the users. The user used Opera many years before. Opera should consider these.

@Christoph142

AFAIR only the past 6 months were imported. The rest would be outdated anyway, wouldn't it?

No, it would not be outdated. Opera 15 is about 9 months old, but many users are still using Opera 12 or earlier versions. You may as well import all of the old posts. There's gold-dust in some of those old threads about customising Opera, fixing plugins, etc.

Although 90% of the threads are not worth importing, the 10% that are should not be lost to the community. Perhaps you could import all threads from the important forums — Windows, Browser, Mail, and Customising (and some others) — except those that were locked?

It is probably easier to import the whole lot rather than filtering out some.
