      Surprised I get to be the first one here.

      Okay, maybe I should be semi-official. The Lounge is intended for friendly chatter, games, and ... well, anything that doesn't fit into the Opera-related forums but isn't against the rules. No spam, no hacks, no buying or selling stuff - the old timers should know the rules. (I don't work for Opera Software, but I am a moderator. As such I don't make the rules, I'm just restating what they were in the old forums.)

                We could, if we were willing to write some code, which is not really a viable option, even if one knows the right format:

                [img]http://thedndsanctuary.eu/Smileys/myopera/bigsmile.gif[/img]

                There's a spam block on my account because I posted more than twice in 90 seconds. Now I have to wait for 10 minutes. Great!

                      Do you mean that you're surprised that there is a spam block in force, or are you surprised that I am surprised that it is so restrictive on ordinary users?

                      On My Opera the limit was 30 seconds between posts, which is reasonable. Most posts take at least that long to write. A genuine user doesn't just use cut and post to repost the same text many times.

                        It was the "Now I have to wait for 10 minutes" part.

                          There's a place where My Opera smilies grow. :whistle:

                          I asked, and in response Opera graciously released the My Opera smilies under a permissive license. But I have no idea why they don't use their own smilies anymore.

                            Never hung out much in the old lounge. Funny that I should be one of thefirstdozen to find it. πŸ˜‰

                              β€œOpera graciously released the My Opera smilies under a permissive license.”

                              Does that mean we're free to use them elsewhere?

                                Hello? Where is my post to the missing German "General Topic"-section?

                                Deleted? Than I want to know why? They are missing - that was not joke!

                                        @zisele: It's the lounge. Go ahead. πŸ™‚

                                        Hey, everyone. I'm sure some of the old My Opera people might remember me from well over a decade ago long before I started working for Opera. I hadn't posted in the forums in a while. There's a lot of work left on the forums to do, so stay tuned. Things are indeed a bit simple and bareboned, but we're working to improve things. I would personally like to see smilies back. I'll see what I can do, but I can't make any promises, of course.

                                        @pesala: Like I said it's been a while since I posted on the My Opera forums. You said that the limit was 30 seconds between posts. Do you remember what the waiting time period was? Was it 10 minutes long or just like a minute or something like that?

                                          Thirty seconds, period. Additional time would be adding insult to injury.

                                            @frenzie Okay. Thanks. I'll get it looked into. It's likely just set to whatever the default is.
