Silly me, I managed to destroy my highly-secure Opera master password. No real damage except having to re-enter all the passwords again. The problem is that I can't manage to remove the damn master password.
I disabled the wand. I tried with advanced setting and opera:config, even removing "wand.dat".

Do you know in what file the master password is stored so that I can nail the damn thing and start over?

Thank you.

No problem. Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? It may be due to encoding problem. Please ask in mobile forums.

You are correct. :smile:

Only now (after voting for Tamil in the poll) I've seen acho's query from 23. November 2008:

"Can you tell me if it is possible when I write an adress in the adress bar , the typed url to open in new tab?Can Opera open a new tab from the adress bar?"

If I didn't misunderstand the question it refers to one of my favorite "Opera" features, and the answer is simple: hold down "Shift" when you press "Enter" and the page will open in a new tab. Shift, and "Ctrl + Shift" (to open the new tab in the background) also work from search boxes on web pages or when clicking any button that would open a new location. Also works when selecting certain right-click menu options that open fresh pages, like those helpful custom translation options Tamil writes about elsewhere. (The "Google Auto Translation" right-click menu entry, in particular, is something I wouldn't want to browse without any more, btw, what a phantastic tip! Thanks, Tamil!).

I appreciate that very much.

Thank you and best regards.

You can see it in my CSS file.

You have to add the following to your CSS file. 
#top2 {
    background: #2a7b2a url(http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Blogs/Hanuman.jpg) no-repeat !important;
    height: 345px;
}

Tamil 11. March 2009, 14:43

Add the following and change color. 
#top2>h1 { color: #1F2C2F; }

Tamil 11. March 2009, 15:45

I forget to mention that you have to reload CSS file after modifications.
