Small SpeedDail issue - showing wrong part of website
When I make a SpeedDial button for this website:https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46083
What I get is a button showing the upper-right corner of that page, which is one of the least useful views. I'd like the upper-left corner, if it has to be a corner.
Can it be fixed in a future version?
I'm running Opera 11.52 on Windows 7.
Screen resolution is 1280x1024
SpeedDial settings: 3 columns, auto zoom, hide [+] button.
Thanks

Opera doesn't decide which part of the webpage is shown for the Speed Dial preview. It's the website which offers the Speed Dial preview to Opera.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

It doesn't.
Set an arbitrary reload interval for the SpeedDial button you have created and reload it hereafter.
Now you should have the whole site instead of a corner and you can now revert the reload interval to "never" as it was before.
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

You're right, that's very strange. I don't really see how autoreload relates to the graphical view of a speeddail button...
Also, now that I re-added it, for the sake of trail-and-error, it showed me the bottom-right corner of the page... So it's probably not the page providing a speeddail preview, it must be Opera performing some kind of algorithm to determine what is "probably" relevant information on page, to be shown on the speeddail.
Anyway, the graphical view is alright like this. I just wish this were a discrete option, rather than an arbitrary effect (of autoreload). I've always wondered why some sites show whole, and others only a corner. But autoreload is definately not the only thing causing the website to be scaled down entirely into the button. I've got some other sites showing the same view without being on autoreload... That's why I call it an arbitrary effect, because it's (for a user) probably hard to understand why one button shows the whole website, and another doesn't.
