Why 12 then, Black? What's so different in 12 then generally?
Vaguely but less so I do remember even comparatively recent complaints about 12 not having something that 11 had...As best I can recall, a lot of the 11.6x turmoil revolved around crashing issues, intermittent site loading problems, authentication bugs, nsl (never-stops-loading) problems, mail problems, HTML5 issues, failure to exit completely upon shutdown, and resource inefficiencies. Each iteration of version resolved earlier problems, but introduced a few new ones. By 11.64, things were pretty solid as I recall, but I was reluctant to move from 11.52 because of concern over the whole instability trail - I want my default browser to be rock-stable. By the time the 12.x series emerged, security issues (cross-site scripting, etc) had accumulated to the point that it was simply foolish not to move forward. By the way, I believe 11.63 was only ever released for the Mac - I found a note to that effect in my Olde Opera archives, so the 11-series progression for Windows was 11.60, 11.61, 11.62, and 11.64.
My recollection about 12, among other things, is that it abandoned 'skins' in favor of 'themes' at some point, and that really ruffled a lot of feathers where users were customizing Opera for different visual effects. Also, I think Opera's incorporation of a separate plug-in process caused some resource issues that troubled some users. It's all kind of hazy now, having been replaced by a lot of other more recent software issues. There are times (like this) when I wish I'd somehow kept a kind of diary or record of what I was focused on in those days.

Sometimes you need to go to the FTP site to see versions there.
Which is..?
Is it the one that one should download their Operas from? -

I kinda guess what "int" is, then "en" (which one though?), but what are "autoupdate"? "id"? -

Because some software has it very diverse - browsers included.
I guess I'll take "int" then choose a language:) -

It appeared I'd already got a couple of 1162int installers in here.
Maybe the source was not right? Could give it a try anyway... -

Dropped some "leftovers" from a tangerine I'd been eating in a fresh Dieffenbachia pot, before filling it up complete with this turf.
Now I have two micro(-for-now) mandarin orange trees coming out.
Help! O.O
