Interesting...out of four available language options one is PL
I knew that alternative browser percentage was high in Poland, but I didn't realize Opera cares...(especially since if somebody here isn't entitled to free licence, it's unlikely that he'll pay; OTOH price for polish users is 11USD...still OTOH - most people don't have credit cards (only the ones for electronic use))
edit: az, why the default place it wants to install to is the folder of Opera beta? (I suppose I should install it to program files/opera instead; and I suppose all my saved sessions will be intact?)Last edited by Nowhere; 18 April 2005, 06:09.

As far as O-pera 8: it seems to be quite a bit faster in loading pages than the previous version (7.5x)... I like it so far! I'm happy that my registration key is still valid for the 8.x versions.Last edited by dZeus; 19 April 2005, 08:14.

I can hear you just fine
It does because some sites tend to be nicer to it then.

I think IE only sites are passe. Spiegel.de (general news website) had 28,33% Firefox and 64,03% IE page hits on 1st of March. As soon as Firefox/Opera represent 10-30% of general site users, coding them to work in IE only is not good business-wise. I think it would be better if Opera quit identifying as IE by default as it's registered share would be higher.
Az, can you post some screenshots, what's new since 7.54?Last edited by UtwigMU; 18 April 2005, 14:47.

Sadly, they aren't. dpreview.com, easily the most important digital photography review site, serves Opera a crippled site without the nested menus. After I posted in their forums about this, the site was changed so that now (get this!) you get the menu with Opera if you are IDed as IE on your first visit there; the setting is stored in a cookie, if you were IDed as Opera on your first visit, you won't get the menus even when IDing as IE later on! I even told Mr Askey he only needs to delete his check for Opera in his script and treat Opera the same as IE and it would work, but he chose to do it a more complicated and much more stupid way.

Hopefully this fixes the MAJOR problems I have had with b3. B3 is far far worse than B1 or B2 were, this "randomly my CPU goes away" crap has GOT to end.The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

If only life were as easy as you
I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
If only life were as easy as you
I would still get screwed

and Sorry Az, but there are still people on even this board that use 6.5 because they PAID for it.Juu nin to iro
English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
