Help us help you!

Attention: This build is experimental.
It contains a feature reporting system that will report back usage of a number of features to Opera once per week. This allows us to know more about how you all use our product in an anonymous way.
The idea is that while some people tell us about their wishes and concerns in the blog and forums, thousands of people download the weeklies without giving direct feedback. By using a build with feature reporting, they will also contribute to improving the product for all of us.
Yes, you can turn the feature off:
opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableUsageReport
Normally we don't ask you to install a weekly on top of a final version, but if you dare do so this time it will help us get more correct data, making sure that we continue to make a better browser for YOU.
So, what does the report contain?
You can check yourself, a copy of the next report is stored in the Opera profile directory, under usagereport/report.xml. It reports things like what preferences you have enabled or not, whether you use Widgets or not, and how many bookmarks you have. Only numbers*, no domain names or other sensitive data.
*) Excluding Visa and MasterCard
Changelog:
Windows MSI
Windows Classic
Macintosh
Unix

Go Opera!
Smokescreen
By smokescreen, # 19. January 2007, 19:41:49
I would think it is OK to place in the final version too, just directly add the option to turn it on or off in the initial info-screen.
@Fyrd: you have to type(or copy paste) opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableUsageReport in the addressbar

I saved (right click save image) the last hour over 150 picures.
All works perfect but when I open this site:
Warning! Celeb Site: www.celebdaily.com
I have only damaged pictures.
-When I save the picture with Strg+Click it´s perfect.
-When is save the complete!! loaded picture with right
click "save image" the loading-progress begin a second time??
So when I klick save without waiting the second time load
process is ended its damage.

Maybe is just in this moment, but Yahoo Mail Beta is not loading.
I tried deleting cookies but doesn't work.

Usability Testing! Nice work... one of the hallmarks of usability testing is "never *ask* the user what they want... just observe them!" Asking a user could lead the developers astray for several reasons (which I'll outline in a blog post

It still didn't appear for me until just now, I restarted the browser.
@kennycrudup
You could try adding more data to that xml file yourself, I guess...though I'm not sure if it'd stay that way when sent.

Try a text editor.
Edit: Well I guess Firefox would have the same effect as that, so never mind. Looks like Opera's trying to do something else with it...

pr0..pictures with Opera since I'd started using it in 2001 and have yet to have one be saved improperly. As myself at one point being the only one crying about a bug endlessly for months before anyone noticed it happening before it got eventually fixed I'm not exactly the one who should doubt you, but have you considered it might be an issue specific to your system? (Note that over time, I either rebuilt or checked nearly every relevant library on my laptop before I was convinced my (now squashed!!) "random rendering bug" wasn't a "Kenny" problem vs. an "Opera" one.)By kennycrudup, # 19. January 2007, 21:02:33

Include the usage-reporting in the next final, and I will definitely turn/leave it on!
