If they're not broke, don't fix them

Need for speed

, ,

Lately, we've been introducing some speed improvements to the Opera Community code. So, if you're experiencing any problems with this, or just want to comment on areas that are still slow, please send a comment :smile:

New future: Anonymous blog/image comments

, ,

If you go to your blog or album settings, you may now specify that your blog or album should be available for commenting for not-logged-in users. They'll be asked for a name to go with their comment.

Enjoy! :smile:

New future: E-mail notifications for blog entries

, , ,

E-mail notifications for comments to your blog entries FINALLY works. Edit your blog settings to enable this feature.

Note: You need to enable this even if you have done so previously.

Enjoy! :smile:

Fix: Blogger imports work again

, ,

Due to some changes in server behaviour on Blogger's side, they didn't work for a while. This was really something we should have expected, sorry about that.

However, I now fixed this so that it will work again!

Enjoy! :smile:

New future: "News" on your personal pages

, ,

You may now see who commented on your blog + photo album pictures in a special "News" page available through a link at the top of your pages :smile:

Enjoy! :smile:

Tech Preview: Friend connection finder

, ,

I just completed a small demo of a new feature. This allows you to enter a username from any user's page and see how the two users relate with regards to the Friend network.

For example, if A is a friend of mine and B is a friend of A, I get the path "stephan => A => B", telling me the shortest connection between me and B.

You can try this out by testing
http://my.opera.com/username/demo/network.pl

Where you replace username with any username in the community.
E.g.:
http://my.opera.com/stephan/demo/network.pl

Any good ideas as to how to integrate this into the community are very much welcome.
(Oh, and this is not the feature I mentioned yesterday. That one is delayed till next week)

Enjoy! :smile:

Warning: A new feature will be added soon! (Panic!)

,

We've been updating a lot of the community with bug fixes and some extra functionality lately.

Today, you can see the most recently commented blog entries on the community blog page. Tomorrow something else new. :wink:

Challenge: Name the number one thing you want to get fixed, and I'll reply. Tomorrow. :smile:

Enjoy! :smile:

Snow. Oh, and server problems.

, ,



October 25. Snow. Sigh.

October 24. Problems with MyOpera's storage space took down the servers. Sorry about that. We're now running on a backup solution and will make sure everything is fine before going back onto the normal one. We're very sorry, but these are problems that were really out of our control :frown:

Optimized community database and content parser

, ,

We added some further optimizations to the Opera Community backend today. These should hopefully increase speed and reliability for all users.

Enjoy! :smile:

You may now upload a ZIP file with images :)

, ,

And tag the images, too, in the photo album upload images screen!

Enjoy! :smile:

You may now rotate

, ,

I just added some code to the site to allow you to rotate images in your albums :smile:

It will rotate the image by 90 degrees each time you click the "rotate" button.

Enjoy! :smile:
