      Actually, it is editing of 'override.ini' too, just done through Opera's GUI. String 'User Agent|Spoof UserAgent ID=2' does similar influence on YouTube as 'User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=...'

      Without patched opera.dll (for an updated User-Agent stings), masking as obsolete Firefox/IE version is not quite good idea.
      By default, Opera can spoof it's identifiy for a web-site with IDs of "antique" Firefox 4.0 and Internet Explorer 9.0 versions .
      Override.ini is better method because you are free to set any identify of the browser(via User-Agent string) for specific web-site.

        Indeed so!
        Adding a custom User-Agent string is something that it would have been great to have had in the site preferences dialogue, along with site by site "fit to width", but they were sadly never implemented, and now won't be of course!

          My solution was only about YouTube's comments, nothing else. For that purpose it works well. For other websites, I usually visiting, I don't have any problems.
          Actually, initially I have edited 'override.ini', but then decided to find a more GUI'ish way, to make instructing by phone easier.

            Hey guys,

            I have a new problem. There is no option to change video resolution. It's 360p permanetly. It started several days ago. I'm using opera 12.16. Is anyone having the same issues? Any workaround?

              I have tried the css hack with no success. Scrolling is still impossibly jerky. It's like it appears the page is fully loaded, then it starts doing some other stuff.

              I don't know why these people keep "fixing" perfectly good working sites. I mean the new york times is now a mess and it used to be one of the best fastest loading websites. Youmail has now changed their player to html5, thereby it does not work on opera anymore. I suppose the employees need something to do.

                Have you still got a full list of your subscribed channels on the left hand side?
                If so, the CSS hack hasn't worked.

                  No, no list on the left hand side. Specifically what I am having problems with is youtubes default page or home page, "what to watch" Once I have selected a video and playing it then it behaves normally

                    Strange, it seems fine here.
                    I have the YouTube Center and AdBlock extensions installed though, which may be the difference.

                      Not a big deal really. I can just bookmark a different youtube page. Just annoying to know something is not working

                        I've done loads to try and make Youtube work on 12.x. Editing CSS etc. Fixed it for a bit, but for the past months I've getting jerky behaviour, incredible RAM usage, freezing and all the rest of it.
                        In an ideal world, we should leave Youtube and hope that Google make good on us.

                        In the real world, where we cannot live without Youtube, we have to smother Opera 12.x for our own good. It just won't work on popular pages who don't care about standards anymore.

                            This thread is specifically about Opera 12.17!
                            There are plenty of others about YouTube problems on later versions.
