I don't know what you mean... Sorry for the long time to answer, the citation notifications (via pop-ups) simply aren't working. cc/ @digmed -

They might have just turned the notifications off for fun on the 1st April.

I think they're broken for many months.
I have 84 notifications according to my dashboard's profile button. I can't access them anywhere.

Nah, right now I came here because I'd got one.
And this time it was quick (unless I got the previous one). -

I've found that the only way to get reliable notifications of anything is to star the thread!

Probably too many links ... theyreally shouldn't count links to ...opera.com in the spam filtering.So far as I can see, most spam contains only one, rarer two, link/links. Three-four isn't frequent at all, more could be considered a weird exception.

Right but in those, lots of links seem the same - thus it can be assessed by our Helling Machine.
I doubt I should expect the tech guys to get at it soon though... :rolleyes: -

Just visited Firefox's support site today, and I noticed in one case, they officially suggest certain users to install Opera - and they have a link to that.
So why?
I'm about some parity here. There is a thread of mine that was closed - "Firefox Tinkering". It is/was in the Lounge, and it didn't facilitate any prompts to use Firefox instead of Opera.
So I ask you if the mentioned thread might have a right to get reopened: like we all know we're here, and we use Opera, and also we use some other browsers and wouldn't mind touching some issues about them not leaving this place. In the Lounge. -

I agree, but perhaps it shouldn't be named "Firefox Tinkering", because it should involve other browsers as well.
It's not that I don't trust you, but do you have any link to those statements? I just want to see that.

Too bad we don't have a Software forum any more.
Knowing you. Josh, you probably asked "How can I get Firefox to ..." and one of the other mods said "This isn't a Firefox support forum - ask them" and closed the thread. I do see a point there. If you want to post a thread saying "This is what I did to make Firefox more like Presto" or maybe "Recommended extensions for Firefox?" that should be fine, but we don't do tech support for non-Opera products (they have their own tech support).

Gustavwiz, http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-some-versions-windows-xp.
I see your points, dudes. Still, one thread per each other browser in a lounge is not too inappropriate - for Opera users not wanting to move/shift to another support forum/site /browser.

I'm about some parity here. ...FYI (and for some perspective), Firefox 13 was the first FF version that required XP-SP2 or greater and was released in June 2012. Consequently, the material in that Mozilla support page ( http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-some-versions-windows-xp ) dates to mid-2012 as well. At that time, Presto Opera was the only Opera desktop browser in existence, so the Opera referral in the page was to the then-current Presto version, for XP users running SP1 or lower. Note that the referral was not a "recommendation" of Opera as a browser brand per se, but instead just a "courtesy" link posting of a possible alternate browser still (then) being developed for users of old systems (XP-SP1 or lower) to try... coupled with warnings to users of dangers in running either old FF or Windows versions. "Parity" for Opera would be a support web page simply recommending that users of WinXP-SP1 or lower who could not use Blink Opera might consider using Presto Opera or Firefox 12 versions or lower... coupled with copious warnings that using old browsers and OS's has major risks.
I'm unaware of Mozilla forum threads that are dedicated to discussing the best methods of tweaking non-Mozilla browsers.

For your consideration, I'm using v.12.0 for now*:)*
(People say v.38 hogs a lot, etc.) -

I guess the Helling Machine helled my post for having "911" in there.
Let's see if I'm right...

Has this thread been poised to sink?
If yes, why?
If not, is it a glitch? I just posted there - and it did not up.

If not, is it a glitch? I just posted there - and it did not up.I did it. There's no point in having a topic about installing an outdated version of a discontinued product in an outdated unsupported system taking up the space of other much more relevant topics in the forum sub-categories pages. Users coming to the forums will be best served with topics about the current version.
I hope you understand my view and that doesn't affect negatively in the way you use the forum. -

A strong argument for topics about pre-15 Opera versions having their own forum section I would have thought!
