        I had a similar problem but using Avast Free that advises when there are updates for some programs. It advised me there was an update for Opera (33 etc) so I went to Opera About and was advised the version (32 something) was up to date. I then went back to Avast and it installed the later version for me. I appreciate that updates may be installed "gradually" but this seems a little unusual.

          I posted yesterday about an email I received - it was spam so I posted it to flag it up with a moderator.
          My posts have been removed so all is well, except I had another notification email, below. I followed the link and that too brought up a 404 error. Presumably leocg's thread has been removed too but it would be nice to know that's what's happened.

          That might also help other newbies. Thanks

          I'm posting this so that I can then draw it to the attention of the moderators.

          Attention for....?

          It was a spam comment, already removed when you clicked on the link and the reason for you to get the 404 error.

            Comments regarding the forum itself belongs to {Forum Feedback](https://forums.opera.com/category/25/forum-feedback).

            Btw, it was probably removed for being totally offtopic in this topic like this one.

              thanks leocg. I stand by my point, that if a moderator removes a post there should be a footprint in the thread itself. I shouldn't have to create another thread in then feedback, surely.

              Anyway, I'll go quietly.

                  No it shouldn't, specially when it's something so obvious.

                  If the case, the post will be edited instead of being removed.

                    well, every other forum I'm in leaves a footprint. We shall just have to agree to disagree.

                      For what? It's just waist of time.

                        I'm sorry that you just don't get it. Clearly you are an expert - I am not - but as a user I should have some respect and I don't think a footprint is a waste of time. It tells me and newbies like me that something has happened - that my post didn't just disappear.

                        I've had enough of your supercilious attitude - I've uninstalled Opera so want need you again, thank goodness. As Einstein once said "most experts have a brain as sharp as a razor - with some the brain is just as narrow". Delete that.
