Opera 7. Worth it? - Page 4

/edit: nevermind, I've just figured it out.

Since we're updating, I went back to IE... The advantages of Opera just didn;t outweigh the bugs.

I'm guessing that Microsoft will steal the best features long before Opera is even reasonably bug free

Problem :

In some forums, one of them is CGN, I have to re-login every time I visit. Well, if I leave and enter again after a minute then it works, but 20-30 minutes of not being on the forums forces me to login again when I come back.

Any ideas?

FrustratedPoet · April 24, 2003, 04:35

No, no ideas, sorry. Personally, I have no problems using Opera at CGN.

Check your CGN Control Panel, buddy. I had the same problem too, and then it turned out that my CP settings were set at "browsing with cookies - OFF"...

Hey, same thing here!

I was just going to complain about it in the community forum one of these days

The fact is, while I had Opera 6 I had it so that I was always logged on on Apolyton - when I surf from home ofcourse. I do not remember setting it somewhere specificaly so I am guessing it was a cookie thing.

I usually use the quick reply feature and I am on 56k modem so this was great for me.

Now, about since I have upgraded to Opera 7 the whole thing gone wild and I sometimes have to re-log in in very short periods of couple of minutes.

I have no idea what is going on. Yesterday when I went to civfanatics I discovered I was still logged in although some six months or so passed since my last log in

So, do cookies expire?

If so, I am guessing the problem is on Apolyton side, since other sites do not give me this problem. If I can confirm this I ll pettition MarkG to remove the expiry. What is it for, anyway?

If it is not cookies but Opera setup .. anyone know how I can fix it?

Zopperoni thanks!

Man I feel dumb. It is right there in the options and seems off by default

I hope it works now

Eli · April 24, 2003, 06:47

Zop :

I checked the relevant forums and they all have the "Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies)" and "Browse board with cookies?" options selected as "yes".

hi ,

cookies can be made to have a certain date , the best way to get rid of them is to clear the temp internet files in the cache , clear history also , .....

have a nice day

St Leo · April 24, 2003, 12:27

BTW, I recommend setting History & Cache: Check Documents to Always for purposes of forumming.

I was not trying to get rid of them but to keep them

Seems all is working now.

Since Apolyton's Resurrection (should have known that Apolyton would operate on the Orthodox calendar, not the Roman one), I haven't had any problems with Opera at this site. Having to use IE now and then for a couple weeks reminded me of how retardo it is.

Skanky Burns · April 24, 2003, 19:59

I installed a hotfix yesterday for XP that fixed some vulnerability in windows. As a side-effect, all websites that don't have javascript enabled now don't show images or anything. As I can't find the hotfix that caused this mess, I decided to change over to Opera. I'm liking it so far.

Skanky Burns · April 26, 2003, 00:51

Is there a way to get alt-s to work in Opera, so that I don't have to click on the submit button?

Frozzy · April 26, 2003, 01:17

I don't know where I've been without gesture back(hold right mouse, click left mouse) and forth (hold left mouse, click right)

Pressing 1 on the horizontal keypad is great for when you want to sift through pages

Skanky: Press tab and enter (do not hold any)

uh Clem · April 26, 2003, 07:14

The trouble with mouse gestures is that they don't work anywhere except Opera. So after an hour or so of surfing, I keep trying left-right-left to close whatever app I'm in.

Sometimes it takes several tries before it dawns on me.
