Opera Cookie Problems
I've been having cookie troubles with the lastest Opera 10 Build (the one with Turbo).It wont save any cookies at all for my site. I don't have a domain name (the sites for personal use only), so i have to access it using my IP address. I've tried reinstalling it and trying it on another computer. The older release doesn't have any problems.

Maybe my problem is with Linux' Ext4 system, where files aren't written directly and Opera opens an older version of the cookies file. But I also had it when restarting Opera after more than 5 minutes, after which I was certain the file was synced to disk.
And a crash of the browser also seems to trigger a 'forget cookies' switch.

That would explain why it happens on my Laptop, which had Turbo enabled, and doesn't happen on my PC, which I have it disabled.
Turbo isn't perfect, as I have a fast internet connection (20+ Mbps) and it still comes up with a blue exclamation mark indicating Turbo can speed things up. Sure, it can always speed things up by compressing the whole page, but that isn't how it's supposed to work. I wonder how Turbo indicates it should be enabled or not. Just by sheer loading time of the website is a bad idea, because you have several variables to keep in mind when doing that, like the responsiveness of the webserver you're connecting to, the upload speed of said server, the route that is taken by the packages, etc.

Having Turbo setting on/off for websites (ie default on, for this website off), would certainly help with that issue. Or even detecting and turning off for website that have login fields user is using.

They sent me an email with a long list of things to do. One was to use this tool to show cookie and JavaScript status:
http://sites.securepaynet.net/troubleshooter/default.aspx
Here is the result in various builds:
Build 10487 1345 1497
Cookie Test Pass Fail Fail
JavaScript Pass Fail Fail
I know this can't be right because both cookies and JavaScript are enabled.
I have Turbo DISABLED since I have a very fast link.
Anyone have an explanation? What has changed in Opera 10 that would affect such a test? It the tool, itself broken?

It's a brilliant feature when it works, just that it has a bug so please don't be naive in thinking we are whining or complaining, actually very greatful for Opera and Opera Turbo and hope these reports help in fixing the bug in a next release
