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.

TheAtilla # 23. June 2008, 17:27

laoptp mice are the latest fashion in Norway

chrisnguyen # 23. June 2008, 17:41

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

nicomen # 23. June 2008, 21:32

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

slackwrdave # 23. June 2008, 23:36

nice pic

Dasch # 24. June 2008, 00:28

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

sandalian # 24. June 2008, 04:22

Does the monkey work at Opera too?

liuzhou # 24. June 2008, 06:52

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

anoop24 # 24. June 2008, 07:19

nice pic

EspenAO # 24. June 2008, 07:52

No one has guessed the correct amount of signups yet!

Tamil # 24. June 2008, 08:04

Number of signups from Opera 9.5 release time or date?

EspenAO # 24. June 2008, 08:31

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

Tamil # 24. June 2008, 08:40

June 16-22 (Oslo time)?

EspenAO # 24. June 2008, 08:46

Yes.

Tamil # 24. June 2008, 09:01

Then, 18,510 sign ups.

EspenAO # 24. June 2008, 09:27

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!

Congratulations Tamil but... myopera have to be promoted more (like sincronization in Opera).

Ciao, Igor

Quinnuendo # 24. June 2008, 11:18

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

jenniferh # 24. June 2008, 11:56

That's great news!

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

igorditerni # 24. June 2008, 15:07

Ahahah, Tamil you know all!

Jadd # 24. June 2008, 16:37

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 # 24. June 2008, 16:47

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.

ombolan # 24. June 2008, 17:51

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.
