It asks for an FTP password and then says that the maximum of 20 users are already connected :S

[MarcLister]

I must be one of the chosen ones! :D

[LeperousDust]

Oi get off my turf :p
I still don't think this is ready, although i haven't used this release just yet i've got the RC released only a few days ago, and there are so many little niggles, for instance iPlayer has stopped working now! Loads of little things don't feel "finished". Although its still a great browser :p

[LeperousDust]

Ok servers are being hammered, i'm getting an increadible 0.4kb/s.... Any mirrors?

[LeperousDust]

Ok sorted a mirror, installed and as guessed iplayer still doesn't work :p

This should not be a final release.

[Mondo]

Cough.....ahem...Firefox...ahem

[Flibster]

Cough.....ahem...Firefox...ahem

Go buggier
Go insecure
Go Firefox

:p

[divine]

Go massssssiiiiiiivvvveeeeee meeeeemmmmmoooooooorrrrrrryyyyyyyy uuuussssaaaaaagggggeeeeee too.

(mine is at 515MB RAM and 650MB VM with just six tabs open, it's appalling really)

[Mark]

Haven't had major memory issues with FF 3.0 RC2, but then again that machine does have 4GB RAM, so I wouldn't notice anyway. :)

[LeperousDust]

I've thought as opera as being totally and utterly lightweight, but mines sitting at 150Mb after being used on and off now without closing since install, visited sites, watched youtube videos, and currently have 4 tabs open including gmail 2.0 (which i consider to probably be pretty "big"). Seems alright i guess!

Denied.

I'm watching Have I Got News For You with it now.

[LeperousDust]

Wtf have i dont to deserve this then, keeps telling me theres a problem with all the videos... Meh :(

[divine]

reinstalled flash?

[LeperousDust]

Nope, but flash is working for everything else, and if i right click on iplayer i get the flash options :huh:. Might as well try though...

[LeperousDust]

Downloaded didn't make a difference, fixed it by disabling content blocker and userJS for that site though, so it was my fault and one of those two were causing the problem :)

[MarcLister]

Oi get off my turf :pMuahahahaa. ;D Beat you on OcUK as well. :cool:

Not too sure on the default skin so I've changed it to the Windows Native skin. :)

[Joe 90]

stupid bag o'crap wont sync!!!

almost converted back to FF now though :eek:

[divine]

Is there an AdBlock plug in?

I'm pretty much ready to fully change over but the reappearance of adverts everywhere is a touch offputting! If that gets sorted I will be a happy chappy.

[MarcLister]

There is a good ablock.ini file that LeperousDust has. :)

[divine]

Also, anything like GreaseMonkey?

OcUK has gone blue again, I hate it, I want my custom grey back!! :p

[MarcLister]

Where did you get the custom grey from? If its a CSS file, which it surely must be, then copy the code into a text file and save it as ocuk.css.

Then go to OcUK, press F12 and select "Edit site preferences". Go to display tab then in the "My style sheet" box navigate to the css file and choose it. Click OK etc to get back to the site then either Opera refreshes itself or you need to do it but then OcUK should have your custom colour scheme back. :)

I use it for a few sites to hide bits of the page I don't want, that aren't ads.

[LeperousDust]

As Marc says for custom CSS, but if you want greasemonkey stuff, you want to look into Opera UsesrJS, for instance use the spell checker (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=182282) i've linked to a few times. Its perfect :) I also like autosizer (which resizes .jpgs and such to fit however you would like them too).

[MarcLister]

Alex, do you use the Opera email feature? I'm trying to get it to work how I want it with folders on my Gmail for Boat Drinks, Hexus etc so that I can filter emails from those places into their folders. However the filters don't seem to work and the emails intended for folders end up in the main Inbox.

[LeperousDust]

I personally don't see the point in using Opera's email for Gmail webmail, much easier and quicker to just leave gmail open in a locked tab.

[MarcLister]

I see your point about Gmail. But there is another email account I'd want to check and that doesn't auto login and whilst the web interface is OK I think the Opera mail would be better.

Is there any way to get Opera to inform me of new Gmail messages?

[LeperousDust]

Nope, i either use Digsby or Gmail notifier, or you could connect the Opera mail to Gmail IMAP, it just seems a little over the top for me.

Operas mail client has always seemed functional, but pretty bare to me...

[MarcLister]

When you say connect Opera mail to Gmail IMAP do you mean adding the Gmail account?

[LeperousDust]

Yeah

[MarcLister]

Thanks. I need to think about how I want to manage my email. I have three at the moment but my Uni one will stop soon now I've finished my degree. So I'll have two which can both be accessed through a website. The Gmail interface is pretty decent so that is OK but the Fastmail one isn't as pretty. :p

So control both through Opera or just access the sites through Opera? The reason for all this thinking is that I'm getting fed up with Thunderbird and I can't see very many reasons to stay with it considering Opera's mail functionality and both email accounts' web interfaces. :)

Decisions! :D
