        Typical opera just autoupdated and its broke again
        Im so fed up with this crap
        Opera portable still works though
        Ill just uninstall opera i think
        stick to the portable which doesnt update itself or alter things every 5 mins

        maybe a little explanation about me and why i am so anal about this issue and other "silly" things
        I suffered a couple of strokes about 5 years ago which left me severly memory disfunctanal and i rely heavily on things like opera to remember for me
        any changes and i freak out a bit
        a simple unwanted addition to my start page causes me anxiety and screws with me
        anyway just a explanation of why im like i am

          Hmm, my Opera updated to 57.0.3098.110 and the site is still working. I checked my settings and they're still the same.

          Did it turn "Ask" back on for Flash? Maybe try disabling "Allow sites to run Flash" and then enable it again. If "Ask" is still off, try turning it on and back off.

            @burnout426 it does the loading to 90 thing
            but doesnt get past that I will try what you suggest and report back

            Something odd I have allow flash on
            ask first off
            disabled the ephemaral thing you said

            it puts a plugin blocked in the address bar everytime i go to tinman
            if i click that and select run this time it loads and sticks at 90

              Chromium is in process of deprecating support for Flash and it will be more and more hard to play Flash content as time goes.

                Chromium (and therefore Opera) blocks small Flash elements on a page (less then 6 x 6 for Flash elements on the same domain). When this happens, you'll get that notification where you can temporarily allow it. But, a lot of times, the small Flash object being blocked is for an ad or something and not the main Flash object. You can try my Always Load Flash extension at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/extensions/always_activate_flash if you want, which will work around that and always load Flash.

                it does the loading to 90 thing

                Clearing the cache again fix it?

                    I know chrome has a hard on for flash for some reason
                    but if chrome deprecates flash
                    I will just deprecate opera simple

                    so much flash content out there and i wanna choose if i see it or not am i being unreasonable ?

                      Adobe itself is deprecating Flash too. Plugins are no longer needed in modern web.

                          You will nevertheless experience a decreasing array of Flash-compatible browser options over the next 6 to 23 months. After that, your Flash options become thin indeed.

                          By mid-2019, IE and Edge will both have Flash disabled by default (though still able to be manually re-enabled via the settings); by mid-2020, Flash will be non-existent in both browsers. By mid-2019, Chrome (and the chromium clones) will behave exactly the same way. By early 2020, the Firefox Flash plug-in will disappear as a default, though Flash will be accessible from the settings; by the end of 2020, Flash will be non-existent in Firefox. By the end of 2020, your best bet for a Flash-compatible browser will likely only be one of a few Webkit-based clones that retain Flash for however long thereafter. These deprecation schedules are already in place and unfolding, even as we write. (https://www.computerworld.com/article/3211437/web-browsers/faq-how-apple-google-microsoft-and-mozilla-will-eliminate-adobe-flash.html )

                          Once Flash goes unsupported by Adobe at the end of 2020, no further security updates will occur, period. (This, in a software program that has historically been one of the most security-flawed entities ever released.) When chromium and Microsoft finally, fully deprecate Flash on or before the end of 2020, over 95% of the browser marketplace will be unable to render Flash content. That largely guarantees that any site relying on Flash will either find an alternative to Flash or will soon evaporate. Already, only 5% of all websites employ Flash, down from over 28% in 2011 (https://www.alphr.com/software/1009184/adobe-flash-dead-websites-ditch-software ).

                            That's weird. There's nothing in the changelog for 57.0.3098.110 that should affect any of this. I also can't reproduce the issue with 110. It works the same as 106 for me. I'd guess that some extension or Opera Sync or Opera's adblocker or
                            Opera Turbo or Opera VPEN, or a corrupted profile or something outside Opera is causing issues when Opera updates.

                            I can see Flash is still loading for you in 110, so it's not that at least. It seems to be an issue with resource fetching.

                            Did you try a fresh, portable install of 110?

                              Tried portable 110 and that works

                              installed version is the problem somehow but where could it be ?

                                  There error for tinman.swf is saying that the server sent it with the wrong mime type (something like text/plain or text/html for example) instead of application/x-shockwave-flash. I get that too, but I can't confirm that by checking the response headers. It's sent with applicatoin/x-shockwave-flash like it's supposed to be. It doesn't seem to affect loading in my case, so I wouldn't worry about it. When loading the swf file directly, I don't get that message, so maybe it's just caused by loading the swf file in an iframe which expects documents. Not sure.

                                  As for the other error, I don't get that. Looks like something from an adblocker.

                                    Preference file or Local State file or an extension for example. Or, maybe it's a corrupted cache or a cookie issue.

                                    Before doing that though, in the developer tools, goto the Network tab, check disable cache, open a new tab and paste the URL for the page or the URL for the swf file) into the tab and press enter. See how it loads then.

                                      @burnout426 disabling cache makes it load really fast to 90 but then it still freezes at 90

                                        Try deleting Flash's cache. "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia"

                                        Also, delete Opera's cache and media cache while its closed. "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

                                        If you disable all your extensions, disable Opera Sync, disable VPN, disable Opera Turbo, and disable Opera's adblocker in your normal Opera, and it still only loads to 90, I'd assume it's an issue in its Local State file or Preferences file. You can load them with JSONedit and compare them to the ones in the portable version to see if you can see any differences that might cause the issue.

                                            it seems it was a cache problem
                                            i cleared manually but didnt work
                                            while in dev tools i right clicked network and claer cache option
                                            did that its working
                                            could there be some secret cache location ?
                                            or other cache its using ?
