Hi,
This is one of the best blogs I've ever seen in OPERA website. Thanks bro.
I've had some problems with Opera 9 that nobody up to now could solve them:
1.How can I make a button or shortcut to save web pages as "web archive"? (Not through "save as" and then choosing from "save as type" drop-down menu)

2.How can I omit images from feed news? Sometimes images are annoying specially in low speed.

3.In Opera 9 I can't review History pages offline and I see just a request to go on-line otherwise I face a blank screen!

4. Is there any way to increase font size in some panels specially NOTES?

5.Is it possible to have email accounts(for example Gmail) through Opera mail reader while you use a proxy?

Please talk about them in following post you have.
Thanks so much!

alamandrax Thursday, October 5, 2006 4:12:30 PM

big fan here.

in any case, need your help with something. i posted this on a forum too, but it didn't really help. the problem is with this:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Opera, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, I didn't completely uninstall opera (remove registry entries, delete the entries in the Documents and Settings folder, etc.) as I don't want to go through the process of Archiving my mail (about 3.5GB of it so far) and adding accounts all over again.

Any suggestions?

I think Opera 9.02 still has to fix some tag issues gone really mad in my blog which generates or shows sometimes unknown categories. I think it's a loading fact from the server to my computer which is sometimes unable to handshake the reloaded screen.
Thanks for the tips : )

Pardon me for my stupidity , but what are HTML tags? Do i just publish it?

Tamil Friday, November 3, 2006 10:57:49 AM

Do you want to add HTML code to your page or anything else?

Did it download previously? Did you change any settings?

Tamil Wednesday, November 22, 2006 2:17:20 PM

Close Opera and rename opera6.ini to opera6_old.ini in your profile folder and try.

Check these. If you are not able to solve, then try to downgrade to previous version.

In future, if you want to post screenshot save in png format by selecting it in Save as type.
