Good news, everyone! We've been working hard fixing bugs and generally improving the My Opera community over the last couple of weeks. 
Changelog

Today's release includes several fixes on My Opera. Some changes are visible, while others are not.
- The status field no longer displays your username on the blog-, about-, and info page. We also added support for cancelling a status update (you can either click on the "x" mark, or just hit "Esc" on your keyboard and the status field will disappear).
- We know many of you have received spam in your inbox, so we've added a feature where you can mark selected messages as spam, click on "Mark selected as spam" and they will be removed from your inbox to the spam folder.
- Photo management for albums with many (200+) pictures has now been fixed.
- Fixed member count for groups. Banned users were also counted as members from the "About" page, but they weren't in the member listing. The about page also includes that now.
- Delete comments no longer redirects to top of the blog post, but to the "Comments" section.
- Fixed issue with editing and deletion of comments in your own blog.
- Fixed newsfeeds and notification e-mails for dev.opera.com.
- Fixed the comment text area on the Desktop Team blog. It was sized incorrectly, causing it to overflow the background around it.
- Fixed the issue with forum search only showed one page of results when searching for posts. It was not possible to search for older posts as there was only one page of results. It now shows all.
- If you went to an album you didn't have permission to see, you were shown an empty page (no error message, no "authorization required", no nothing). It now displays correctly that you are not the owner of the album.
- BBcode and HTML is now turned off for anonymous user comments.
- Fixed error when trying to send message to a user with blank in username.
- You can now remove friends who have you on their ignore list.
- Fixed photoblogging watches, at last!
- When logged in you no longer see the signup form, but you can still review the My Opera membership terms and conditions. Also added some text changes.
That's it boys and girls.

We have just released some new code. There are some bugfixes, for instance the bug that would reset your language preferences should be gone. Then, there are a few highlights from Fred:
- On the "home" page, logged out users will now see a new bigger section for signup. And the signup page has also got that same picture on it.
- There's two new blog designs, "Early bird" and "Garden of Dreams", designed by Khadgar! (Thanks Khadgar, it has been great working with you. We're looking forward to the upcoming 3rd blog design)
- We have changed the design of the My Opera header a bit. The My Opera logo now has a new shiny Opera "O" in it, the robot is gone (on vacation in Greece), and the header is a bit more slim.
- The sticky threads and announcements in the forum now look a bit different.
But the biggest thing this time is about Opera's dedication to building open standards. Therefore, we occasionally implement things that are not even finished, so that we can gain experience and provide feedback for the working groups. This time, we have added support for
SKOS and
POWDER. We use SKOS as formalised way to express your tags, and POWDER can be used to declare something about the contain, such as if it contains nudity. Both these are features of the Semantic Web, and if you're curious, read more about them in the
Semantic Web blog.
Finally, we have enabled a module that does even more to enhance the memory use of the backend servers. It monitors the processes, and if a process has grown too big, or doesn't share enough memory with the other processes, it will finish what it is doing and quit, and a new one will be created. This also makes it far easier to know how many boxes we will need to run.

As Kjetil said, we had a minor update recently. I was going to announce it and talk about the recent changes, but he was faster and spoiled my announcement. Oh well.
However, he forgot a couple of things, so I'll step in and mention some more details:
- The shoutbox should work now in OperaMini.
- We have changed the blog access permissions so the one you specify when creating the blog becomes the default, and then you can just change it for individual posts if you need to. You can change that setting at any time under "My account" / "Blog" (right panel, in "Account navigation") / "Blog settings"
- Now you have the nick field in the FOAF data.
- Other, minor enhancements and fixes, and the performance improvements Kjetil mentioned.
Please report all your problems in the forums or in the #MyOpera IRC channel. Enjoy!
