Bring back the minimize button

That and that alone will keep me from upgrading.

Also, how about properly passing credentials via forums. Heck, even here I can not:

1) Drill down to a part of the forum I want to be in
2) Login
3) Post something

Rather, I have to:

1) Clear everything out (have a script that I will post elsewhere shortly)
2) Login at the beginning of the forum
3) Drill down to the part I want to post in
4) Post something

PLUS, it times out and wants me to start all over again.

They brought back the minimize buttons, perhaps you should check the <a href="http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/05/11/a-couple-of-more-fixes">latest releases</a> before making a wish-list (menu bar ones were brought back quite awhile ago, minimize on page title bar was brought back a few builds ago)

As for "proper credentials"...what? For me all I have to do is scroll to the top of the page, login, scroll back down to "Quick Reply"... even easier if you use Wand... Click Button, Scroll, Post... and even easier if you allow Opera to save cookies, then it will stay logged in for days (probably a month or more) without having to log in. This is the first time I've logged out/in on this computer in probably 2 months.

Edit: if you mean remembering stuff in text boxes, that's a different issue, and not really one at all since if you are not logged in, you don't have the options of "Quick Reply" or "Reply" so logging in can't erase something that isn't there. If you are using multiple accounts... why?

Just so everyone knows what I am talking about: If you upgrade from 10.10, the "MINIMIZE "_" symbol is missing. It used to be by the "Maximize" box and the "Close" X. It is supposed to be a "feature" in 10.54 and should've never been removed to begin with...but, I digress. At least it is coming back....slowly

This has been an issue for a variety of boards. I login, I scroll around, I go to post something and it tell me to login again. Sometimes it will let me post, other times, it requires me to do what I described above. It's been that way for so long, I am simply used to it. Where other sites I can leave up for hours before it ever kicks me out. I simply found it funny when I clicked on "Log In" on this board it did the something similar: Kicked me back to the start of the forums, let me drill down to here and when I went to do any type of post, it required me to log back in. Which, of course, repeated itself.
