When clicking on the tabs the border around them should vanish afterwards (especially the bottom one). In IE and Firefox it's working this way. I tried several workarounds, none of them functioned (and I don't like hacks that much anyway).
Oh, and the smilie in the code should of course be ":<nospacehere>p"
(the board-software really shouldn't do that inside code-tags, tsktsk ;-) )

That's not true for me. It doesn't matter if my window is maximized or floating. The startbar always drops down when I drag a link from the window or the bookmarks. (I installed from scratch, not over a p2 installation. Are you different?)
Though I really wish I could turn off this behavior. I'd rather only be able to add links to the start bar when I'm customizing. It's annoying for the startbar to drop down all the time. It would be better (for me at least) if they start bar only dropped on a new page or when I click in the address bar. That would be ideal!

1) I've checked 7.60 P3 vs 7.54 JavaScript speed at:http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/benchjs.html
And the result is... Wow ! Well, probably it was also true with P1&P2 but I have not played with them.
2) Blocked pop-up notification - yeah, finally ! I need it sometimes.. Unfortunately..
I am happy-happy-happy.

Well, OK. I am glad that pop-up notification exists, but certainly there should be a way to turn it off. An it could be even turned off by default, why not.

Looked at it a couple of days ago. That one test with the random background colors was ... well, incredible. 1.1 seconds on a 500 MHz processor! On the other hand, the layers test is still pretty slow ...

No, that will also happen if your URL bar is on the Main Bar.

Well, you made a little typo:
You can enable the Start bar by View > Toolbars > Customize...; and checking the option for Start bar in the Panels tab.
Actually, it's View > Toolbars > Customize / Toolbars tab... that's why I couldn't find it at first

I'm talking about the position of the panel, not whether the window is maximised or not. If the panel is on either the left or right of the screen then I can drag from the bookmarks or windows panel to the start bar. But if the panel is floating then the start bar is hidden when I click in the panel, so I cannot drag items to it from the panel.
By me the dropmenus and the site is total correct, both the gray
and yellow too. I've registered me to "Kispál és a Borz", and
could download the video.

Wand data is encrypted. At a guess, the key is in your ousr600.dat file, if you didn't back that up too then you have a new key and your old file is unreadable.
the positioning correct. I agree, small error is error, too.
I'll much more listen to these tests.

I wrote them a mail, and they said, that it is because Opera cannot handle layers. Is this true? If yes, you should fix it for 7.6 final...
yea for me its off the left about 2 menus over.. but honestly, any site that is 1.3 MB for the indexpage doesn't deserve to be viewed.. you should be emailing them to learn some web courtesy.

I noticed a couple font white-out problems that I never noticed in p1p2 or even v7.54...
Two places I've noticed this issue: IHT and WashPost. http://www.iht.com/articles/2004/10/21/yourmoney/macao.html and http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57209-2004Nov17.html
IHT link, scroll through to later pages (far right column) and you'll notice the middle column white-out on the 2nd or 3rd page...highlight test in first column and drag through middle column to reveal text...
WashPost link, notice the "most viewed" window in left column and story links are whited out. Mouse through window and links will reveal themselves.
Strange, eh?
(v76p3 is very, very fast...great work!)
Enhancement request: the start bar is cool idea...please consider <history> button..was trying to figure out if I can add a <history> button via customize toolbar, but I couldn't...
Customize window and "My buttons", and from there can you put this button to
startbar.( If you had this problem.)

Opera just recently (this preview) added support for encoded characters in INI files, but it isn't working right with URLs...

Further research indicates that apparently the progress bar does not appear unless there is actual comunication with the server. If the entire frame can be loaded from cache, the progress bar will not appear at all. I've watched traffic (or lack of) in Ethereal with progress bar appearances. Seen the progress bar come on and off while loading a frame, coordinated with Ethereal traffic. Can anyone enlighten me on whether progress bar handling was changed this way in P3?

I'm getting a fair number of random P3 crashes, and it seems to occur more often in forum-type web pages, including this one. In fact, especially in the Opera forums, although they have occurred at other locations. This is on a clean installation and profile, with no apparent calls for flash or any other plug-ins. On two occasions since the release last Friday, Opera also crashed after waking the PC from power saver suspension.
Might be connected with Preferences/Windows/Loading. Try a higher redraw delay, like 2, 3, or 5 seconds. See if that helps. See quiris post in this thread:

Some sites that support RSS feeds produce a little blue button in the URL bar of Opera where, when clicked, it adds the feed to your collection.
Anyone know the trigger for this? I'd like to add that to my sites.
Thanks.

I can drag buttons onto the 'page bar'
( called [Pagebar Head.content] in toolbar file.. )Also the 'start bar' ( [Start toolbar.content] ) now has 'not often used' stuff like author mode, find, & zoom.. )
This means I can have address bar + status bar at max size - (half screen width) - I can live with smaller tabs...
another advantage is, the buttons are not 'lost' when there are no pages..

Get a skin!! Get a button!! Dont believe the myths!! I can't browse Al Rai News Paper web page it causes opera to crash !
20. November 2004, 18:11:13 (edited)
Hopefully somebody can help as I don't see the solution.
Basically the wand works fine on most websites I use.
However when using the well known hotmail it never asks to save a password.
Cleaning all cookies, history and related stuff doesn't change this.
Also there is no entry for hotmail in the password list of the wand.
Problem occurs on a clean install of Windows and Opera 7.6 P3.
The wand did (more or less)work with hotmail in P2.
(it only failed sometimes to fill in the password for hotmail)
Any sugguestions on how to get the wand working for hotmail would be appreciated. :-)
Behaviour is definitely not as expected here...
ps) Alien_Zero is completely correct about Opera crashing on that website. Opening that website takes all processor power....shows memory consumption steadily increasing above 100 MB and crashing. Pretty nasty...hope that this kind of bugs get top-priority. I've seen Opera crash way too often since version 7!!
ps2) found another example were the wand fails : www.theisonews.com
Yes, I want that button away. Yes, I want those X in page tabs away and old _[]X back. But I don't know how, and I don't know how to use search :-(
Also why some menu texts are empty, like navigation -> under reload every. Shortcut is shift+g, nothing reads left from it. Same thing below right click -> customize toolbars text.
[Edit: oh well, trick is just to right click -> remove. Fine. But I can't remove those pesky x's from my tabs... or maybe I can. The right option was "advanced mdi". Still I had to edit skin's ini file to get tabs work right. For some resaon I had to make them a few pixels thinner while using multiline wrap]
Reading the rest of your message, I suppose the 'search' you mention has to do with searching in the help files?
Anyway, the only question for which you didn't figure out the answer yourself has to do with the menu: apparently you use an older menu setup file, probably a customized one. The feature 'Load all images' has been rmeoved from the default menu in preview 3, and inadvertently the text string has also been removed from the language file that comes with Opera. So older menu setups can't use this string anymore. This is a bug.

I just feel that reinstalling Opera from a scratch is so completely useless and eats up too much time to tweak everything again.

Then why are you installing beta versions of Opera?
The recommended (and useful) way to install previews and betas is to do them fresh -- that way whatever issues you see are confirmed to not be holdovers from your previous installation. Part of testing the beta *is* to make sure the customizations etc work as designed.Originally posted by ihmemies

The proper way to install a final Opera release is to install on top of the previous final version installed (if you are trying to upgrade).

It just happened on this forum few minutes ago :/
I saw this one few times in 7.54, it happens now with the same freqency in 7.60 B3.
next :
when i browse pr0n (hehe) and download lots (LOTS) of files simultaniously (like 20-30 at the same time) some files get stopped and cannot be resumed (clicking resume doesnt work, server by itselfe supports resuming), selecting "restard trans.." works ok on those files.
This never happened with 7.54!

When I want to close a tab by right-clicking on it, and choosing "close", there is a nice [X] next to this element of the menu. Thanks to this, it's easier to quickly close the tab without reading the menu

Unfortunately, when I do so with an inactive tab, the [X] is missing. I want it back

Just recently posted that answer in another thread (somewhere in here) ...
Go to Preferences, File types. Uncheck the box at the top that says "Hide file types opened in Opera". Now find the type application/octet-stream. Click Edit.
If there are any extensions listed for this type, then remove them. Make sure that "Open in Opera" is checked, and click Okay. In the Preferences window, make sure that "Determine action by file extension if MIME type is unreliable" is checked, and then click Okay.

but it happens at random on different pages (with proper mime) ! like Sourceforge for example, or this very forum !! Its not a server with broken mime problem. Its "Im blind opera at random" problem.
Possible to revert to the previous way which opera handle new page and homepage command?
There is no existing setting to force new pages to open a particular page, but you can use a custom button to achieve the same effect. Drag the link below where you want it, then remove the original New page button:
