@incomingbrowserchange Like many others, this forum has a ' First post needs approval' policy. It's to avoid spam.

As far as I know, it's something done by the forum software. So you may need to ask them.

@kimiraikkonen85 said in Problem logging in to new forums after a long time: My question is, was it REALLY forcibly required to give consent to use the new forum engine The request for consent is legit. It wasn't there with these new forums at first and only happened somewhat recently with changes in European laws. Nothing to worry about.

@amatczak Thanks very much for looking into it and the explanation.

This forum has only one location so there is no meaning in limiting its search to a specific place on Earth.

@barisu Ah! Right ... thanks! I honestly wasn't aware of that option. One can easily overlook it. Maybe one day, they move that option to the above. Anyway, thanks again.

And what does this have to do with the forums? You posted in "Forum feedback", there is no news on the forum's homepage. What version of Opera, and on what type of system?

You can't create forums - neither can I, and I'm a moderator. Post your request here and the sysadmin may create it. Note that "Local forums" is for non-English forums - if that'a not what you want then suggest a more appropriate placement.
