There is an oddity in the last posts. At this comment (http://my.opera.com/jax/blog/2014/02/25/the-d-d-nachspiel#comment114695452) My Opera had been read-only for a couple minutes, both ensbb3 and I were posting when the door was shut in our face.

Which led to my (mistaken, I now believe) claim that "Your account won't be reopened." was the very last sentence.
I think there was a last post 15168142 but that it doesn't display. It would be be fitting too if My Opera didn't end with a whimper or with a bang, but with a bug.
I've found out that I have a history! there!;)

Contrary to what D&D-ers might think, the Lounge is/was not the end-all of My Opera. The part that has a limited replacement, the forums, has been shut up, but is still available. Whatever I might think about the strategic decision, the way they have gone about implementing the shut-down has been fairly exemplary.

Back on topic-- well, at least sort of: I tried to see the new forums that Opera has put up. No good on Firefox, can't drag them up no way no how. Reason: For some reason, Firefox adds an "s" to "http", producing "https". That "s" is enough to throw off the system and make it non-functional. I had to use Internet Explorer, of all things, to actually get to see the new forums. IE got in and works well enough in this case: Well enough to tell me that those of us who are exclusively Loungers and D&Ders have no place there. If you're looking to find out how to make the latest version of Opera work with your system, they may have something for you-- except if you're using Linux of course, nothing worthwhile for you there.
So-- I'm looking forward to ignoring the new forums the same way they're ignoring us. The feeling is mutual now.

I don't think Obama or any President is actually in charge, much less an emperor. I don't think Bush was either. The President is merely the face presented to the public. The sheeple don't get it. Probably 95% of what happens in any given president's term as little to nothing directly to do with him. Some people hate Obama. Putzes. Some all but worship him. Also putzes. "Obama expended government" say Conservatives. Guess what, so did Bush, and Clinton, Bush I, and Reagan, go all the way down to Washington. Turn off the Liberal and Conservative media and just get the facts for once in your sheep lives, folks.

So the statement that "important threads" would be carried over meant currently active threads. Not such a bad decision actually. But change of place really means new attitude and new usership. Of course, it's a new product too. It would all have been easier if they acknowledged it from the beginning. They still haven't.

Well I tried one last time (http://forums.opera.com/discussion/1830566/looking-after-old-friends) to get a response and some sort of acknowledgement from Opera that we exist (and Vivaldi for good, balanced, measure). Nothing, so far at least, but then the message has been trampled on somewhat.

It's time to embrace the scraps we're managed to hold on to rather than cling to a lost past.
From Thomas Wolfe's
You Can't Go Home Again:
“Child, child, have patience and belief, for life is many days, and each present hour will pass away. Son, son, you have been mad and drunken, furious and wild, filled with hatred and despair, and all the dark confusions of the soul - but so have we. You found the earth too great for your one life, you found your brain and sinew smaller than the hunger and desire that fed on them - but it has been this way with all men. You have stumbled on in darkness, you have been pulled in opposite directions, you have faltered, you have missed the way, but, child, this is the chronicle of the earth.
Remember, though, that Opera will never die! Try this on for size.

It will last for a long time. All that is needed is to archive it (paste the URL in "Save page now", as well as other less ad hoc approaches, so there you go (http://web.archive.org/web/20140302194706/http://my.opera.com/mjmsprt40/blog/2014/03/01/going-down). You're welcome.
There is as mentioned a nachspiel (http://my.opera.com/jax/blog/2014/02/25/the-d-d-nachspiel), but there won't be a countdown as we don't know when exactly the plug will be pulled. It would be a silly party, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, bye!" Uh. Not yet. "10, 9, 8..."

I wouldn't worry too much about the Vivaldi/DnD message getting through, it will through the overlap. It would however do so better with an official acknowledgement.
Rather, if there is something My Opera-ish you like to keep, use the archive URL above. There might just be hours left.

I begin to suspect it's not a glitch. A glitch might have been fixed by now, instead it's getting worse. My attempt just a few minutes ago to get to the right place-- the comments on the blog we were replying to-- was fruitless, instead redirecting as you've indicated.
I never saw an organization so intent on "flipping the bird" to its users as Opera seems to be. Even the notoriously bad outfits here like Comcast and AT&T have better relations with their users--- and that's saying something because both of those outfits have well deserved reputations for atrocious customer service.
It's still working. I just replied here (http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/2013/10/31/important-announcement-about-your-my-opera-account?cid=114747862&startidx=2250#comment114747862).

String told me that Operamail will continue to function after Opera closes because it is run by Fastmail.
I clipped this from the Fastmail site.
Why has Opera sold you? Are you in trouble?
Not at all. Opera has undergone an internal change of strategic direction and an email service no longer fits within their long term vision. With Opera’s investment in development and infrastructure over the last 3 years, FastMail has continued to increase its rate of growth and profitability. We came to the mutual conclusion that FastMail’s future would be better served as a separate company.]

The Quick reply box does not stay open. At least not in Webkit browsers I use.
The Quick quote procedure is like this:
1. Open up the Quick reply box
2. Select (highlight) some text from someone
3. Press Quick quote (in the corner of the same post, right?)
4. This should throw the highlighted text into Quick reply box as a quote
Ah, thanks! I can fix that.
In your forum looks (https://dndsanctuary.eu/index.php?action=profile;area=theme) near the bottom, I recommend to turn on "Use quick reply on topic display" by default. That's the default now, but it wasn't at the very beginning when you guys registered.
I'm not convinced the existence of that setting is a good thing. Perhaps I'll look into removing it.

Back on topic.
While we're not expecting anything to happen any time soon. Let us express ourselves: let's say a word to our passed Home... If you wish, as you wish, how you wish...
Myself, I was registered back in 2008, IIRC, when I started to explore Internet from a feature-phone with Opera Mini. Maybe it was earlier - '06~'07? Not sure...
It was great experience!
And I registered from phone, but wasn't really active on The Site till I purchased this mini-laptop. It was... well? 4 years? 5? some such time ago.
Yup, my memory is a mess..:/
Why I registered? Not sure either - maybe for fun, or having issues? Both? To have a company? (Nah, not that time..? Hm..) I just say that back then, I already registered for "the main board" - the English speaking community.
I loved (liked) English!:D I thought "my English was good":lol: Much later, attending the University (partially a bit earlier somehow), I realised quite well what a crap was what I tried to "sell" for "good English":)
Well, the Red O site step by step became a home for me. Quite undoubtedly I migrated to the forums. Blogging - I played with that, but didn't succeed, I think...
Had some photo. Get friends:))

English is supposed to be one of the harder languages to get right, so for those of you who are doing this as a second language-- my hat is off to you for doing so well at it. American Midwest English is my native tongue, and sometimes it gets the best of me-- so I kind of get it that it's a struggle.

How My Opera ended (Opera being Denethor of course)
[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGfnOydG-Vo[/video]
Why I registered?
I recalled one thing!
A great factor was that my Opera Mini had a preset bookmark to the community. That bookmark stood second, since that I always placed MyOpera bookmarks second:)

I can't help but feel a perverse kind of Schadenfreude—then again, that's probably a tautology—that Pesala made exactly the kind of post he's been constantly accusing of trolling. I felt that was just a cheap way of sweeping complaints under the rug. And yes,

Why throw away all that hard work and start over again? Don't you guys have enough to do with rewriting Opera?
We're using an existing forum solution, and I'm guessing it's much easier to maintain than the old My Opera forum.

Markup or markdown sucks.
That seals it fore me. I haven't got time to learn new skills just to find my way through a morasse of spam in order to help users get to grips with Opera — whether that's the new version or the old one.
This (http://forums.opera.com/discussion/comment/15168964#Comment_15168964) is funny :D
For me that's it with Opera I'm not using neither browser nor forums anymore because I found them basically retarded and unusable. Last post and account removal after more than a decade...
EDIT: for f***s sake, even account deletion doesn't work...
FWIW, they finally got the new forums to work in Firefox. Not that it matters a whole lot, I'm hard-pressed to find reason for fooling with it. No use trying to trouble-shoot the new browser, from what I've seen of it the new browser IS trouble so shooting it seems to be the right idea.
Right now, I'm camping out on Windows 8.1 and Firefox. At least it works.

It is. But at least he was able to use "edit". Some can't https://forums.opera.com/discussion/1830579/post-edit-function-not-working-properly#Item_4
Btw, irc.opera.com is still up. They really forgot to pull the plug on that one. Who's responsible?
When I was there, "edit" was PARTIALLY WORKING - "partially" meaning it didn't work in Opera, for example.
I don't remember checking Firefox, though...

While the site is seemingly simple, many of those simple functions depend on silly Javascript. Although what I don't understand is that in my testing, Vanilla seemed to work fairly well without JS.

Maybe they enhanced the JS and the users are now enjoying the results.
There's also lots of users complaining about lost mail https://forums.opera.com/discussion/1830699/please-return-me-my-mail
This is beginning to look like the bookmarks situation. The company made a survey and discovered nobody uses bookmarks. The same way, I guess they made a survey and discovered that everybody has everything synced across several cloud services.
Granted, people are appallingly stupid and inattentive in this increasingly virtual digiworld. It's not at all easy to help them against their own ignorance. In my opinion, companies and other authorities and highups should do their best to educate and show good example in all areas instead of screwing people around and digging their hell deeper, but this is only my fallible opinion of course.

At least one good thing about Google is that your data can typically be liberated from its services.
Having opened the Firefox, I got a surprise - a "cached" MyOpera page:) (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=483353111776282): (https://dndsanctuary.eu/imagecache.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fscontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ash3%2Ft1%2F1653631_483353111776282_738747959_n.jpg&hash=116a5dd99c05aa6f88511afb10603046" rel="cached" data-hash="116a5dd99c05aa6f88511afb10603046" data-warn="External image, click here to view original" data-url="http://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/1653631_483353111776282_738747959_n.jpg):D
When I opened another installation of Firefox, the picture got lost (the new site shit appeared).

It's like "there, there" :P

Before that, I already saved that page as a "Webpage file" onto my machine... :rip:! :spock:

So, this thread's going latent... On MyOpera - I doubt if something can go on anymore. Elsewhere in that other place? I doubt if something's going on there either:lol:

Looks like Opera ASA still has a browser product, namely Coast. It seems to be exclusively meant for your iThingy - yup, that's the word they use http://www.opera.com/help/coast
I'd surmise Coast is in development at the cost of all other browser products - Desktop, Mobile, and Mini. The Coast team says they've been busy. Yesterday they released version 3 by screwing up version 2 https://forums.opera.com/discussion/1833795/opera-coast-3-0-for-iphone-and-ipad
Is it a special effort on iThingies to avoid updates? Can any iThingy owner here comment on this Coast thingy?
This is not a thread about Opera.
This is not a thread about Opera.
Wait, what? If it's not a thread about Opera, then just what IS the thread about? Seems like the title(s) say it's about Opera so I'd hazard a guess that you're wrong.
I seem to recall that there was chatter way back when we first got notified of the closing of MyOpera that the development teams were concentrating more on the phone browsers at the expense of other platforms, so the news about the I-Phone stuff comes as no surprise.
This is not a thread about Opera.
And you're not the forum police.
If it's not a thread about Opera, then just what IS the thread about?
About certain services (sites/places).
Seems like the title(s) say it's about Opera...
Read titles more attentively.
And it's not about opera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera) either.:sing:
And you're not the forum police.
I'm the author.
And when I started the topic, I perfectly knew where to start it and what it would be about. The latter being clearly expressed in the title.
Indeed, my post demonstrates more interest in Coast and iThingy than Opera's websites, but:
- My info was gathered from Opera's websites
- You joshed an interesting discussion-starter - again!!!
No, I didn't josh - I was serious like a tombstone! :lol:
And you're not the forum police.
I'm the author.

Completely irrelevant.
Again, you're not the forum police. Everyone is free to do whatever the rules permit, wether you approve or not.
Consider yourself warned.
Again, I have to ask: If a thread titled "What's going on on MyOpera & Opera.com" isn't about the Opera browser and the Opera website--- then just why in thunder did you name it that? Yes, Josh, I DID pay attention to the title.... though it appears that you, the author of the thread, have no clue what it's about.
Look, pal-- no more vodka for you, you've had enough.
Mac, have you had your coffee today?:rolleyes:
...If a thread titled "What's going on on MyOpera & Opera.com"...
The thread titled "What's going on on MyOpera & opera.com", the latter being a URL.
...If a thread titled ... isn't about the Opera browser and the Opera website...
It isn't about any browser:
And when I started the topic, I perfectly knew where to start it...
You see, it's not at all in the "Browsers" board, huh?
...then just why in thunder did you name it that?
???
...it appears that you, the author of the thread, have no clue what it's about.
???
Yes, I do.
I am a mere proletariat on this great forum, and make no claims further than such. I greatly appreciate what Frenzie, Macallan, String, Luxor, Jax, etc, have all done.
That being said, I have rather grown tired of an un-named poster's persistent trolling, posting of another user's personal info, etc, and from what I have gathered ( @Belfrager), I am not the only one.
However, I am not one to back down from any form of conflict, and while I think this might be better handled via a PM level, please let me officially state for once, publicly, that I have grown exceedingly tired of one user's trolling in particular. If someone gets tired of me trying to rustle Mr. Howie, please do let me know, as it is a rather fun sport for me but I will stop, if asked, but the trolololololol'ing I mention that irritates not only myself but others is in full seriousness. That shite needs to stop. It isn't funny, nor is it amusing.
I do hope this all can be peacefully resolved, but I do have my doubts about it.
To be fair, this distinction between Opera the browser and Opera the web sites and services, is one taken from My Opera/Opera Community. It made eminent sense there (at least it did to us), given that My Opera was one of the said web sites and services. Whether it makes sense here is a different question.
Presumably it has historical reasons, this forum is one result of the exodus from My Opera, and we don't have one, but two threads on the topic (this one, and the one for the new Lounge in the new forum), as well as at least one Vivaldi thread. There is actually no universal thread on the Opera browser, but several Opera-related threads in the browser forum. Neither is there a thread on Opera the company, there wasn't at the old forum either, nor one for opera the music.
I can't really see a thread about the web site opera.com two or three years in the future, but I can see why there is one now.
I don't think whether this distinction matters is what rubs everyone the wrong way, but that it is a part of a pattern. Bateson defined information as a difference that makes a difference. Josh, with his corrections and "corrections", has showed a vast number of differences that make no difference, to us anyway. I find that annoying, but it also makes me curious why I find that annoying. Having had ample time to reflect on that I am curious no more, and we're back to it being annoying.
What isn't merely annoying, but disruptive, is flaunting the rules by trying to assume responsibility for them. What angered me most as moderator for the old forum were people who tried assume the role of a moderator, saying you don't belong here, or you are not allowed to do this or that. This applies here too.
Whoever Frenzie, in his infinite wisdom, put in this forum as his moderators enforce the rules are the only ones to enforce the rules. Frenzie, in his wisdom as infinite as in the previous sentence, has not put you in this forum as his moderator. Thus you don't make or manage the rules, but you still have to follow them. Griping about the rules you may do in the assigned griping place, which in the lack of alternatives would be in private messages to admin or moderators.
The rules in question (https://dndsanctuary.eu/index.php?action=rules) that apply are:
Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are forbidden on this forum including material which is clearly defamatory, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, contains sexually, racially or gender-oriented slurs, or is threatening or illegal in any way.
Respect the privacy of all members. Do not use the information contained in this forum for any purpose than that of contributing to this forum.
Try to keep on topic, but not at the expense of a valid digression of the discussion.
Post in English but remain tolerant to those who are not well-versed in that language and make errors, remembering that this forum welcomes global participation.
These rules actually differ from the old rules (http://web.archive.org/web/20131106073928/http://my.opera.com/community/forums/rules/) in a number of ways, otherwise I would also have thrown these two at you:
Don't write in all-caps, and leave swearing, rudeness and flaming at the door.
If you disagree with a moderation, contact a moderator directly rather than posting in the forum.
(Me, I prefer "swearing" to vulgar or obscene material. There doesn't seem to be any "quarrel with moderators in private" rule, so you are off the hook there.)
...this distinction <...> is one taken from My Opera/Opera Community.
Exactly!
There is actually no universal thread on the Opera browser...
"Keeping an eye.."'ll go, won't it?
...nor one for opera the music.
It's up to you!
:lol: :sing:
Mac, have you had your coffee today?:rolleyes:
Apparently I wasn't clear enough.
You are not the forum police. Read jax's posts above if you still don't get it.
Cut it out or you'll get the boot.
Stay on topic, please.
