Well done. Thank you.

@leocg Nice, thanks

I notice that on the Opera Help page that the Version History, located at the bottom left, does not go anywhere. Is the version history located elsewhere? Will it be coming back? I just think it would be interesting to look through.

I do not have the skill to be able to create a new extension. Is there a place that I can make a request for one?

Tabs can be created and removed with the middle mouse button. Some people would prefer to open and close tabs this way. Additionally, it would reduce or eliminate the accidental closing of tabs by clicking on the x button located to the right of every tab.

@cayde I believe johncaltin is a spammer. Notice the hidden link in his post. I suspect he will be banned soon.

I did post some feedback using the smiley and kept my feedback positive and friendly.

I notice that with the new Opera 98 version there is a lot of unused extra space above all of the speed dials. Is it possible to reduce this? If not, I would like to suggest changing it so there is not so much unused space above the speed dials.

It would be nice to be able to get rid of the feedback smiley as well.

Easy to use. It is nice to be able to customize the scrollbar to be able to see it again.

Works great, thank you

What is it called where when you move the mouse pointer over a hyperlink the link location shows up in the lower left corner of the window for a few seconds?

@tina: The videos stopped working in Opera Developer and Opera Stable at the same time and then started working in both versions at the same time even with all add-ons disabled or uninstalled using Opera Recovery.

It is because the error and fix happened with both browsers at the same time that it led me to suspect that there is a core program or engine that both browsers are using simultaneously. Is this correct?

@james438: small addendum. It looks like my adblocker is more than a little modified. Apparently, I am only using custom filters ;).

Regardless, my main curiosity is if the different Opera browsers are all linked so as to cause videos to all stop working and then all start working after either browser is updated. If they are linked, then how are they linked? Is it the Chromium engine itself? I thought that the Chromium engine for each version of Opera was independent.

@tina: Actually, it works fine with adblocker on; just needs to be tweaked a bit. I have Windows 7. The issue that I was experiencing as well as the recent fix which occurred across Opera Developer and Stable at the same time was with all of the add-ons disabled. In the case of Opera Developer the add-ons were not installed. I try to keep Opera Developer in the original freshly installed state. Regarding the videos on foxnews.com I even disabled the built in ad blocker.

Not sure if that helps, but thanks for the response!

@james438: After an update to Opera a few updates ago videos on Foxnews all stopped working. This update also affected Opera Developer. After this most recent update to Opera, the videos now work on Developer and Beta. I believe that this is due to the update to Chromium, but I thought that the different versions of Opera used a different Chromium engine. Am I incorrect? If so, how are the different versions linked so as to cause videos to be broken across all versions and then to be fixed across all versions?

Whoa! Videos are working again! They were not down on all sites, but on some, like foxnews.com, they were dead.

I love the changes/improvements to video pop-out. The timer is nice, but I especially like the ability to resize the video to full size (DNA-83944).

I am still getting the occasional issue where clicking on the pop-out button opens an unmovable black box in the lower right corner and the video is black as well. Refreshing, closing and reopening the browser does not fix the issue and it is not consistent either. I have no extensions or ad blockers running. The website I experienced this on at present is youtube on all videos. I assume this is a known issue.

@leocg: I do apologize if my last post came across a bit harsh.

@leocg: You have answered/addressed almost nothing that I said.

1. Please try to be positive/enthusiastic about Opera.
2. If it is only your opinion that something can't be done please say so and try to present a work around/alternative solution.
3. Try to show some understanding/empathy with those that are having trouble with some aspect of the browser.

Can you please point out the link you were referring to regarding the changes to pop out?

When I say you berate Opera I am specifically referring to this can't do attitude with Opera. Your dismissive answers are becoming a little frustrating for me.

leocg, I would like to respectfully request you work on promoting Opera and its good points and try to present solutions rather than shutting people down and constantly berate Opera.

I happen to like Opera. Please let us know what you like about Opera. It does take a bit of extra work to fully answer people's questions and present possible solutions rather than your frequent can't be done/dismissive attitude, but it is more rewarding and it makes Opera as a corporation look better.
