@hucker Markdown is a well known and standard language for forums.

@leocg "a" standard - there lies the problem, there should be only one standard. so let's use the common one.

Not only that, it's very simple. IMG to start, /IMG to stop, just like html.
What on earth is this?! Not very clear to a human: (can't insert it, it gets all confused) but an exclamation mark then alt text then a url, what? - All you need is the URL for an image.

You're beginning to sound like Apple - let's invent new things and to hell with everyone else.

So are you going to answer the original question about cashback?

@hucker Markdown has being used for a decade or more, without any issues. And the composer has buttons that make the mofe used actions more easier.

@leocg I use BBcode because it's the standard for longer. There was no need to invent another. And if you do, why not support both? I refuse to use a more complicated version for a very simple action.

@leocg Then why did you bother reading a post about cashback if you can't answer? Bring back burnout, he was knowledgeable.

@hucker Because I was answering the other questions on it.

By the way, I just tested disabling cashback on settings page and didn't get the cashback pop-up when visiting associated sites.

@leocg Really?

For every site which uses cashback, this thing flashes and pops up a menu. For every one I have to disable it for that site within the popup. And that only lasts a week, or to the next Opera update, whichever comes first.

And since it's disabled in settings, why is that button even there?

@hucker Did you disable Cashback in settings page?

Image link isn't working here, so I couldn't see where did you disable it.

Yes

Which image? The one in the original post? Obviously just remove the stray [/IMG] the forum didn't understand. The second image is uploaded to Opera forums and isn't a link.

@hucker With cashback enabled:

With cashback disabled in settings:

You need to open a new tab with the page, if you just reload it you will still see the cashback badge.

@leocg I closed Opera, opened the link in my email to your post, then opened Ebay, then settings to check. Look:

I don't have the cashback extension, this is a new installation of Opera. Never sure what that was for anyway, it seemed to duplicate everything.

@hucker What version of Opera do you have? Here the text says something different, but could be a translation issue.

@hucker I also checked with version 119 and the cashback badge is not appearing if cashback is disabled in settings.

@leocg I fixed it. The switch seems to have some crumbs stuck in it or something. I turned it ON, restarted Opera, cashback still there. I turned it off again, restarted Opera, button gone away.

@leocg P.S. why do all the emoticons in here look weird - is it because of dark mode? (testing) No, they're just odd. There seems to be a few standard ones mixed in, but a huge number of useless ones. They're supposed to show an emotion, like confused, surprised, etc.

And I couldn't edit the last post, I got a red error box bottom right!

Does anything work right with Opera?

@hucker Kinda off-topic, but check if Force Dark Pages is enabled. If so, right click on the page and disable it.

@leocg Yes I have force dark pages on, I want it on so more pages are dark. Why do you want me to turn it off?
