Are people not aware Opera 12.x is not being worked on any more? Any problems you have will not be fixed.
Wait, what? Opera 12.16 is not being worked on anymore? I know that they went with webkit for awhile, but they said that they were going to introduce Opera 12 features back into a later version of the newer Opera, sometime in the near future.

I know this isn't the right thread, but looks like there are knowledgeable people here. If there's another place or thread, could you point me there?
I was using 12.17 fine for months. 2 days ago it installed the latest 24.0 and has totally messed up the browser AND the PC is grinding to a halt. Can someone point me to the right location to uninstall 24.0 without destroying 12.17 profile & all my wands, cookies, hotkeys, bookmarks, start pages, etc.? 24.0 doesn't respect any of the old and won't load most web pages, PLEASE help & Thanks!!!

I also had the youtube comments problem, and this indeed fixed it
Go to "opera:config --> User Prefs" and copy this line: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 to the "Custom User-Agent" field. Don't forget to click "Save".
But the problem is, now addblock doesnt work anymore.... it's like you fix one thing and another brokes down, Opera 24 looks totally incomplete, I love opera 12 but it gets harder and harder to keep everything going.
Any idea how i can fix adblock WHILE still be able to see comments on youtube?

Teeps, you seem to have problems similar to those discussed in this thread.

Worked for me, I found that putting things in the custom user prefs broke other sites.
I have AdBlock too, and it's still working fine, and the YouTube comments display is fine too.
The only outstanding problem is that I can't now make YouTube comments myself as I can't type in the new comment box, but that's not really an issue for me!

This is a not typical behavior.

Try to delete Google's and YT's cookies

Try to set another User-Agent string (within the override.ini file):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16 -
Apply the above mentioned UA string for google.com. It should fix proper display of Google's search engine (bring back their "modern" design with additional functions perfectly working such as "find similar image").

Tried all that.
Added www.google.com to override.ini with that user-agent string.
Deleted all the cookies.
No difference, I still can't get a text cursor to appear in the YouTube new comment box.
Google's search pages don't look any different either, but I thought they were the latest version anyway.

Masking as Chrome was bad idea at all. Sorry, my bad.
Fully working solution for Youtube (now you can make your own comments too):
Use these strings:
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16

I though you were talking about some...
Hey, they've actually changed shit, and now I can't comment either.
Stng, can I use your solution for Opera 11? The video is fine - only comments? -

I can't imagine any reason why it wouldn't work in Opera 11.
Just try it and see!
You can always back up your override.ini file and restore it if the new entries do cause problems.

How's this weird way of sharing files? -

I must apologizes for my solution, such that stng 's solution is the appropriate solution. Selective masking is truly better than global masking. After all, the problem only occurs on youtube and google. I like using Opera, and hope sites would recognize me using opera rather than a Firefox mask.
I have applied stng 's solution and it worked. However, I did have a hard time finding override.ini because that's for Mac users. For windows, it's called override_downloaded.ini.Also, where do you get these User agent strings? Is it better to use the most updated one? I tried both Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 and the one stng provided, but there is no difference.
