What was it he said about that I can't remember? "silly story about cheese" or something like that wasn't it?

To be fair, that's after I accused him of waffling. But really, bookmarks were never really gone because you had Stash or extensions? I stand by calling a spade a spade—and that's waffling.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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!!!
