YES!!

Thanks for the tweakers.net fix. Can't wait to start using the newest build.

YOU WERE BULLSHITTING US... in a good way, though

OMG.. is Opera faster or is it just me ?

What's that? Releasing builds during the weekend?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

/goes to install because he is a beta junkie

On saturday?? I wasn't expecting it. You surprise me more and more Opera Team.. all the time..! (always positively )

(reading changelog and testing)

is this preview version for beta9

YESS!!! Finally!! THANX!!

Hey Opera people, you know yee won the browser war

After Internet Explorer 7, microsoft will stop making this browser (They say its a security risk )

After that Microsofts' main browser will be MSN Explorer which really can't compete with opera

Skinning/Customization:
- Added "Personalbar Edit Item Popup Menu" section

This is great(!) but, what if I want to save even more screen space by putting my links in the address bar (with "text on right" enabled so I'll know what I'm clicking on...)... The option to enter a link's Properties is not available. Or is it? How do I add this option to my own setup?

Logitech.com problem STILL exists, despite several requests for fixing. :'(

Early report:
bug 122482 (right click-open) fixed
bug 124611 (images in popups not showing until refreshed) NOT fixed
bug 124617 (open disabled in download dialog in case of zip, rar, etc files) NOT fixed
New bug: favicon strangely corrupted.
Visit [url]http://miranda-im.org/download/index.php?action=display&id=2 for an example of all 3 above bugs
Edit: no really it is a bug in transparent images (gifs?) animated too: [url]http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29617

Using it now.

Thank you:jester:

Nice!! I haven't expected it to happen ever, as like in case of Java problem - I thought it just has to be this way - is unfixable on the side of Opera..

Smoooth...

Preferences:
- New feature: Javascript options added in Multimedia preferences. Added options for allowing script to size, move, raise (i.e. focus), lower and set status bar text

Nice!! Opera gets more and more customizable. Now if one feels comfortable with Javascript text in his status field, s/he can switch it on. It was hardcoded to supress such activity up till now.
And what are these raise and lower actions for? What will happen if I disable them - JS will not force focus? What else? (I don't know JS, I do not create pages)

Altogether - another very impressing beta.
But enough of bugs left for beta10. Like: Upload progress bar is still broken, Ellipsis in center is still not in Preferences, as well as Windows cycle option is still not fixed (illogical "withouth showing list" is on the list instead of a seperate checkbox and "as on tabs" order is not added), lacking Next 250 messages button, focusing on last instead on first message in M2 while sorting descending and none of my around 30 other bugs have been fixed yet.
Including very unsmooth scrolling of pages with large images - should be solved to scroll as smoothly as in IE!! And misleading name for "Low resources usage mode" option - currently known as "Smooth drawing of images". And this option should be switched off by default!!

And to give some fresh bug-meat - we have a premiere here (not reported to BTS yet):
Delete private data window does not include Notes and mails (so that action of removing mail is not too time consuming, just all files in mail folder may be cleared - on lower level that mail-by-mail).

I use Notes and also set up my e-mail account to get my latest mails, when I'm in internet caffee and I certainly want them all deleted when I'm done.
Notes and mails are certainly more "private" than already available options like bookmarks visited time or visited links... Therefore I believe it's a must to include these two options there until 7.20 Final to make this option perfect - without any lacks.

Bugs Not Fixed:

bug-124597 (bate papo-uol) - many brazilian users wants to crash my face because this..
bug-124679 (não muda figura ao clicar)

Sorry, there's still my well known "can't save mail" problem. Bug Nr. 124990

Following gif shouldn't look like that !?

It's not just you... it 'feels' like that fastest yet.

Very promising.

yipppppeeeeeee

build 3106

Javascript 'prompt' bug ([url]http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28656) fixed but not mentioned?

Seems so

Faster? Yes, I Think So!!!

Subjectively it seems faster but it is hard to say for sure. Firebird still beats Opera out on quite a few pages on my PC but Opera does seem quicker with this build.

Ultra-fast. I can't handle it...

Confirmed. Is still not fixed. (Redraw set to instantly hides this bug)

But it's still not possible to change default number posts on one page.

Related to this, press at the bottom of this page: Show Printable Version>Show all posts from this thread.

Bug exist on all betas I think. On Opera 7.11 all's fine.

EDIT: After deleting my.opera cookies all went back to normal.I guess it can be assumed as a false alarm.

From my non-fixed bug farm:
#124982
#124723
verified as fixed.

You are right, I couldn't confirm before because I had Opera set up to redraw instantly. But the other redraw options make the bug appear.

I have redraw set to 1 second, and I do not see this bug.

yes for me setting it back to redraw instantly corrects the problem

i had it set to redraw after 1 second and it didn`t work

that`s odd

Yes. Confirmed. Problem is still there...

Click on option 7 means change the MIDI song
clich any songs as you like (also is not working)

Olli is a liar! He said monday, and stupid me went out tonight. And what do I see? A new beta!

*note to self: never leave the forums again*

/me pats akh.
I know; it's tough having a life, isn't it? Interferes with Opera obsession.

It really is. So from now on, I won't have a life anymore.

Looking great...
But: try putting the page bar on left or right and open up lots of pages. The bottom ones still get lost, no way to get to them from the bar. (Bug report submitted long time ago.) Doesn't matter to me though, I wouldn't use it that way.

web-page menu still not fix
e.g. [url]http://www.anandtech.com/
have css memu mouse move over problem and can't not show
the dropdown menu problem

the list of fixes and improvments are big to

Olli is really mean... what is your role in Opera software...do you code?

Are you saying the Page bar extenders don't work when you choose left or right, or that you didn't know what they were? On the standard (Top) page bar, when you have many windows opened and extenders enabled, an arrow is displayed, you click on it for a list of the other windows. Try it. Right-click on the Page bar and select Show extender. Then open 40 pages.

Quality Assurance, apparently, so I would assume there's not so much coding as testing. But then I have no idea what the job would entail, really.

WOW...it feels a LOT faster

Bigtime cheers to the Opera team...you guys must not sleep -- each new beta is packed with fixes and feature tweaks.

Great work. This round's on me.
