My Opera August 2007 Release Changelog

Posted by EspenAO · Tags: , , ,

monkey spanked again

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. :love:

Fixed photoblogging watches
You're too modest, the links to the individual blog entries being watched work also :yes:

:up: for linking to the proper album. Keep working on pointing to the proper photo.

Also, Watch notifications for a new photo album still point to the generic my.opera.com/USER/albums instead of the specific one.

The comments in the photo section, don't work correctly! The comments appear by album group and not by photo!

:up:Excellent work! But all my emails are deleted.

Great - but something messed up my posts which were made today - also Non-English posts don’t show up as they should.

Also I get a "301" when I try to comment on different blog's posts. Just a blank page with 301....

Inbox & Sent items shows,

Everybody has....

When you post new reply within 30 seconds, now Post Reply page is shown instead of following message.
Sorry, but our server monkeys won't let you through here...

You tried to post more than one post within the last 30 seconds. This is not allowed.

We apologize for the unexpected bug on My Opera today. We're having a bad day, but we are aware that your messages have disappeared and the "301" errors.

Stay tuned...

Also if a friend list is private it dosen't show everybody on it shows only the first 20 and their status.

By Stomyr, # 21. August 2007, 14:56:14

Oww. Any chance I can get my previous messages back? Some rather important messages are missing from my messages.

Too bad the bug that killed my blog wasn't fixed. :cry:

Any chance it will be fixed soon? :worried:

By drlaunch, # 21. August 2007, 14:59:54

Yes I have important things in my mails too:cry:

By zetorres, # 21. August 2007, 15:03:47

How about this for a suggestion? What about a spell checker for blog/forum posts?

Hehe, 301 changed to 302... :D

By Stomyr, # 21. August 2007, 15:34:42

Thanks, but there is also a bug with textarea#message in comment form for anonymouse users :wink:

By Wasacz, # 21. August 2007, 15:36:41

There is some rather big lag associated with updating watches.

I'm getting a new item watch, go there and it's marked as read after couple or more minutes.

I would expect it be marked as read immediately.

By d.i.z., # 21. August 2007, 15:47:56

Great work :up:

But, my group members still cannot access group photo albums that are optioned for member access only :left: :cry:

By Saddle Magic, # 21. August 2007, 16:31:52

Great :up:

All messages after 21/5 are missing :frown: :worried:

Sorry you are having a really bad day.
Thank you for the great work you guys are doing. :cheers:
One suggestion though, someday may-be you can get the friends list in the New Messages on pm's to be in alphabetical order. :love:, :cheers: Have a stress free day.

By Dacotah, # 21. August 2007, 16:57:46

Forgot to say THANK YOU for fixing the blinking pages cause by the photo slide show, THANK YOU :up:

Hope someday the photo will show on my watch list that I have a watch on for other peoples photos. Also hope I will be able to someday log in from my blog page using the wand. :smile:

Blank Post reply appears after editing/submitting a reply .. bug
Getting a "Post reply" screen after submitting a response.

I've just noticed there's a hand mark on that monkey's arse.

Who's been spanking the monkey?

By coxy, # 21. August 2007, 21:40:23

Hey, you didn't mention that the update brings back the Visitor count to the Statistics. No more need to login to Hitslink for a quick check.

By theoddbod, # 21. August 2007, 22:21:21

avatar
Seems the watch list on new post don't clear off your watch list yet after you go view it.

By Dacotah, # 21. August 2007, 22:36:22

avatar
The links appear to have changed to point at the post rather than the blog, which means that it doesn't register you as having read the blog.

By theoddbod, # 21. August 2007, 22:42:01

coxy: That's probably me. They've been going on my nerves a lot lately. :D

By drlaunch, # 21. August 2007, 22:46:49

:lol: Good thing it isn't a lipstick mark there. :D

By Dacotah, # 21. August 2007, 22:48:42

Sorry, what? :confused: Sorry I don't know what you mean by "or OpenID, or maybe OpenID using the Wand".
:smile:

By Dacotah, # 22. August 2007, 07:27:50

Why have one login for every page you use, when you can have only one Login for them all*


*Secure pages would probably not be the target for this.



[Edit]Seems like my PMs are back. This is the first time I am happy my inbox is spammed :smile: Great work.

:up: for that!

Opera, could you link to https://www.hitslink.com/login.aspx instead ? My wand thanks you in advance.

I haven't been able to load photos onto my album. Is that because of these new changes? Please help. Thanks you.

I'm still not sure what has happened to PM's from June this year - both sent and recieved. They've vanished! :left: I got a big gap between May and July... :right:

By Spaggyj, # 22. August 2007, 17:11:33

Great Job :up:

Now I just need my New blog post in my watch list to go off after I go view it. :smile:

By Dacotah, # 22. August 2007, 19:49:46

avatar
Nice changelog. But perfection is unattainable :wink:

By Ilya Shpan'kov, # 22. August 2007, 19:50:41

I found one way to get them off is to click on the persons name, if it takes you to their about page click on what it was that's new, either photo or blog. That's takes it off the watch list.

By Dacotah, # 22. August 2007, 20:13:54

avatar
Dacotah: There's a mark as read button below your watched items. You can use that to mark all your news as read.

By drlaunch, # 22. August 2007, 20:42:09

That's a bit excessive though.
