I see that some members have got avatars. How? I don't have any options regarding avatar.

You have to register the e-mail you use for your Opera account at http://gravatar.com and add the avatar there.
(I think that instructions are somewhere in the profile / edit account settings, but I can't find them right now maybe because I already have one.) -

Sigh
We have to sign up on a third party service to use avatars?! I hope it's only temporary. The whole forum look and feel unfinished. No BB-code or smilies either. I'm happy I'm not posting on a stone tablet.

Only a part of this thread is loading:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/1346/markdown/5
It will only show me the two first posts. But it's supposed to be FIVE posts in that thread.§
§
And why can I not go directly to the first page of multi-page threads? Clicking a thread will take me to the first unread post. That is usually what I want, but often I want to open the first page to refresh my memory. Maybe there are no new posts, still I can't avoid being taken to the latest post.
A feature that takes us to the first unread post is needed, but it is not the only need. The forum software seems to be at an Alpha stage, and I'm impatient to see it develop. The old forum closed too early.

I've just found the same problem on the Forum Feedback section.
Several threads say they have new entries, but when I look, they're not there!
I've really tried to get used to this new forum, but I'm afraid that having to manually put code into posts to get back some basic forum post display options is just a nonsense.
How are people who aren't computer code savvy supposed to do that?
As I said in the other forum, whatever happened to the WYSIWYG principle? It certainly doesn't apply here!
I hate to think what people who use other online forums must think now when they come here.

Maybe there were new posts but these were detected as spam and deleted. I think that also happened in the old forums. -

If you click on the thread title it should go to the first unread post.

I've already got that.
But now I want a button "new replies for my topics" (meaning where I've got participation).

I'm afraid that any indication of what threads you've posted in is yet another of the basic forum functions that's missing here.

@davehwley
Go to your profile to find all of your comments, and discussions (threads started by you).

Thanks as always pesala, that's fine up to a point, but it's not really a substitute for having an indication on the actual thread that you've contributed to it, like every other forum I use has!

Pesala, they could as well realise that 'directory' as a header button, can't they?

For f**** sake! I deleted my account (not this one, different one) and yet it's still available, the whole profile is intact, with posts, join date, gravatar and... subscribed posts for which I now get notifications! for fucks sake - if user wants to delete account please delete it and all data!

Gravatar is a third party service, so Opera is not required to get rid of your Gravatar should you remove your Opera account. However Gravatar does not allow users to remove their accounts, so you may be out of luck on that front, unfortunately.Getting back to these forums, I would like a "Mark forum as read" for every forum here and "Mark all forums as read" function on the main forums index. It would help clear out old threads I haven't read (nor do I want to read) that still have the "New" indicator by it.

This is beyond retarded... so if I "remove" my account in Opera terms this simply means "get the f* out" because we still have your account with ALL details (including e-mail!) and will use them but you will not be able to log in again and so forth... If I had know so I would have change my e-mail before hitting delete button hence there wouldn't be a match to my gravatar!
