Sign ups

How many sign ups did we get?

Last week was a really good week for us.

In light of the Opera 9.5 release we set a new record in amount of sign ups on My Opera, but how many did we get (in one week)? The one closest to the correct answer will receive a new cool Opera-mini Mobile laptop mouse along with a brand new t-shirt.

If you think you have the correct number, please do not post it as a comment in this post! It kinda ruins the fun.

Update: We have a winner, and it's Tamil who guessed 18,510 sign ups! It was as close as it gets, as we had 18,120 sign ups.

~~Good luck!~~ Congratulations!

If I say that's a nice hat will I win something special? Because it really is a nice hat.

Ahh…, that's the reason why I must make a new login every time after I exit my browser. Now it works fine again.

Nicolas Mendozanicomen # Monday, June 23, 2008 9:32:22 PM

Dasch: nah it was a bug, fixed now, check out: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=237635

nice pic

nicomen: Thanks. And I made a mistake. I'd read log in instead of sing up.

Yeni Setiawansandalian # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 4:22:47 AM

Does the monkey work at Opera too?

liuzhou # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 6:52:13 AM

How many signed up to complain about all the bugs in the update?

anoop24 # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 7:19:07 AM

nice pic

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 7:52:45 AM

No one has guessed the correct amount of signups yet!

Tamil # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:04:15 AM

Number of signups from Opera 9.5 release time or date?

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:31:26 AM

Number of signups the week after the Opera 9.5 release. A week for us starts on Monday.

Tamil # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:40:16 AM

June 16-22 (Oslo time)?

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:46:42 AM

Yes.

Tamil # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 9:01:50 AM

Then, 18,510 sign ups.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 9:27:17 AM

Very, very, close. But we can't expect you to be spot on.

Last week we had 18 120 sign ups for My Opera. Congrats Tamil!

DonnyQuinnuendo # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 11:18:46 AM

congrats tamil. I knew you had some statistics about that...

Jenniferjenniferh # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 11:56:23 AM

Actually 23,000 sign ups from June 12-19.

Igorigorditerni # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 3:07:55 PM

Ahahah, Tamil you know all!

Jadd # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 4:37:48 PM

This is a result of Opera Link of course, and its vendor lock-in. (You can't use Opera Link with non-opera servers)

slackwrdave # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 4:47:10 PM

I love the t-shirt in the pic and wanted 2. They're a bit expensive. Still deciding on whether to part with the money.

The design and message are great, and quality probably excellent, but I have to decide if I want them that badly.

No. We don't count an Opera Link user as a My Opera user, but there are many Opera Link users who also are active members of the My Opera Community.

klonkkombolan # Tuesday, June 24, 2008 5:51:59 PM

send me the coffee by e-mail, please.
i'm thirsty and tired.
doesn't work for t-shirts.
it will be stuck in the spam filter.
and it's almost to hot in the moment.
