@leocg Here, it always goes back to (home)/documents/downloads.
Doesn't start the download until I hit enter.
Have it configured to ask everytime, where to save.

even having it remember last location would be a vast improvement. 🦉

This thread confirms my major hesitation in using Opera as my primary browser (at present, I only use it for sites that don't want to "play nice" with Firefox), which is unfortunate because the update of the latter on Thursday night has caused a major problem for me ... notably, all sites are taking at least twice as long to load. I was considering using Opera for everything because I am not experiencing the same slowdown.

But one of the things that Firefox does is provide better download management. I need to have it configurable to ask before downloading, to give me "open instead of save" options for certain file types (and what I want those opened with) in the "ask" box, and not default to everything going to a single folder. Firefox even manages to remember where the last download from a particular site was saved and offer that as the destination folder, including the ability to change same.

Until Opera has that kind of functionality, its usefulness is limited to me. So I would like to add my vote to those who believe this should be part of Opera.

(And please, no comments about "the Chromium engine". I know this, consider that to be a failing as well and the reason why I do not use browsers built on that engine. If Opera's developers are as talented as I am led to believe, they can find a way to do this.)

Hi everyone. Thanks for the useful information. I have spent so much time searching the internet before I found this thread 🙂

@astara said in Suggestion on moderating user posts:

I hope my giving a suggestion on how to make opera forum moderation more friendly, inviting and appreciative isn't entirely out of place, just that I felt empathy with someone having, perhaps more enthusiasm than knowledge about specific "posting requirements" and hoped that feedback on on the moderation would be take as a possible suggestion of how to moderate a user's posting behavior to greater effect and not potentially dissuade them from future postings.

So for now, get to the point here: what'll be your suggestion on user posting moderation?

First thing you should do in a forum is read its rules: https://forums.opera.com/rules

Second thing is to read the topic, know its sections and (sub)forums, learn where to post what.

After that you may think about creating your own topics.

Not related to Opera, so closing it. Discussions about the forum should happen in Forum Feedback.

It points to version 45 as the post says and I thought it wasn't difficult to find other versions from there.
