[OU] Opera 10 does not show yahoo mail text

[Patrick E Charles]

Greetings

I am using opera 10, but when i open my yahoo mail classic, it does not show any text,
anyone else got this problem?

[Finnigann]

I had to copy and paste each contact into the new folder, and I was
wishing that I could just drag them.

The standard (well, for windows anyway) is that you hold down <Ctrl>
during any drag & drop to force a <copy> action - similarly, <Shift>
should force a move action.

Oh sure. I've used this method to save multiple linked images for
sometime. It just recently started to cause me trouble.

I have the technique down. It's prolly something coded wrong on the web
page that's stopping it. But althou I'm _NOT_ a web page designer, I can
follow HTML well enough. I don't see (HTML)code errors.

Have you considered adding "jpeg" to your search
parameters? Some files still have the extension of
"jpeg," and, might be ignored unless requested.


Yes, that's what I do. Howwever in this case the extention I seek is JPG

The list comes up and I high-lite the files I want and RMC and select save
attachments as... When the first screen comes up (Where to save the file
at, the name selected is DEFAULT.HTM instead of the linked files actual
name.

In the games they want me to select drom my 'Friends' list a few I want to
send gifts to. The list wont show in Opera, but it does in IE.

How embarrassing!

Facebook is definitely a necessity for me these days, and Farmville.
Opera 10 is managing Facebook on my desktop, but Facebook does not work
at all in Opera 10 on my laptop. This used to be the case on both
computers, and I don't know why. If you don't want to use IE (and until
the Opera problems are solved), I suggest getting SeaMonkey as a
secondary browser. Version 2.0b1. This is a great alternative to
Opera. I love the mail client, Composer and NoScript. As far as IE, I
literally never use it "straight", and use SlimBrowser when absolutely
forced to appear to use IE.

Opera 10 is pretty good, but has some annoyances like when customizing
toolbars/feeds/mail, I can't click "OK" but have to X out the box.
Still saves though.

Dear Finnigann,

[David Hayward]

I usually have problems with Opera 10 and the Facebook games, specifically
FarmVille, FarmPals, and YoVille. Usually the first time I access one of the
games on a fresh Opera session it'll work fine and all the page links work.
If I then go to one of the other games (Say FarmVille to YoVille) things
start to go wrong.
Firstly, the page links stop responding. They just act like normal text. Not
even the chat/notifications/bookmarks works. I can usually fix this by
hitting refresh and then clicking one of the links.
Secondly, some of the games fail to load correctly. FarmVille will continue
to play its music and display messages in the Flash area, like when you have
gifts, but you just can't interact with it in any way. It acts like the page
links act in the first problem. This one I can only, temporarily, solve but
closing the tab and going back to the game again. Doing a refresh doesn't
solve this problem. It'll also come back if I change to another game.
YoVille also has problems properly loading its data. The loading progress
bars will stay at 1% until the very moment that I switch to another window
or even another tab, and then it'll start loading. It also fails to properly
load rooms when switching, some times taking me to outside the complex, some
times still loading the room but just telling me that it failed.

I'm guessing that this is all some problem between Opera and Flash, not
Opera itself. I don't have problems with any other pages until I try to use
the games.

The only real problem I have with Opera and Facebook is that it doesn't
display quiz results for me. I get a starting blank content area, but if I
scroll down a bit then I get a list of my friends, but that's the only thing
on the page. I can view the source of the page and get my score from that,
but that gets annoying after a while.

Hello David,

I can't comment on this as I only play FarmVille. I've no experience with
switching between these games.

I think the problem is closer to FLASH than the browser as those
pages/games [for me] act weird with Opera OR IE. In fact on one of the
Farming games there is a note near the top RHS to upgrade FLASH if you are
expereinceing problems. They know, they know.

Yeah, I guessed it was more something that Flash was doing wrong. I just
wish I wasn't already on the latest Flash version and that the problems were
fixed! At least I know what to do to work around it. Just annoying though.

Good news / bad news deal:

Opera 10 works fine with FACEBOOK [for me anyway] Bad news. Switching
ain't easy. It's not as bad as it could be and not nearly as easy as it
should be.

I was about to detail the switch problems but I'll save it for a different
message with a better subject line.

Stay Tuned...

[David Hayward]

I kinda just got it to work properly after it stops responding. I tried
randomly left/right clicking over the Flash movie to see if that did
anything (while praying that the mouse gesture doesn't kick in and navigate
me away!) and the Flash started responding again, plus the page links
worked! It must be some focus issue between either of Flash itself (which I
doubt as I'd still be able to interact with it if it had stolen focus) or,
most likely, between Opera and Flash, with either one of them getting
confused and not realising that I want to interact with it.

Still trying to work out the mail/filters business. Just moving the
..\mail folder over didn't help.

If you type 'about:opera' on the location(address) bar you get to see
where some things are in the opera you're using. BUT where that info is is
a secret I have yet to learn. I would like to point version 10 to the
folder(s) holding version 9.xx's mail. Hopefully the filters will show up
too.

This is the only problem I have run into so far.


As I said below Opera 10 makes the Flash pages for Facebook work. But
having two versions of a browser is a bit annoying.

And... if anyone at Opera is reading this... Is there a 64bit version in
the works? I have both versiions of IE 32bit and 64bit) and the later out
shines the former which gives me hope for a similar improvement for opera
(I hope).

A short note about Facebook because my statement previously in this thread
may be missleading: Facebook and its games continuously change. I use
Opera 10 and IE 8 concurrently on my Vista notebook. While I prefer Opera,
in case of troubles it's worth trying IE; usually it will work in IE.

Currently FarmVille is definitely (contrary to my previous note) not
playable with my Opera 10. Flash games and Opera don't get along well.
Otherwise, depending on what you do at Facebook, Facebook with Opera can
be quite enjoyable.

I concur with that. Normal Facebook usage is fine, and *some* of the games I
play work ok with it (like Farkle and the Bejeweled 2 game) but most of the
social games (FarmVille, Fish Ones, YoVille, etc.) seem to go 100% cpu usage
without actually doing anything (like registering that you've clicked
anywhere). For them ones I just open IE8 and use that instead. It goes slow
there, but they at least work.

One thing I've noticed is that even just going to your news feed and having
the chat turned on seems to cause Opera to use up more memory. Not it's main
memory (this is just done using the crude way of checking the Mem Usage and
VM Size using the task manager), that seems to hover around 60 MB if there's
no flash on the page, but the VM Size shoots up (currently 120 MB, but was
230 MB earlier) whereas before it was probably about 40-60. I know it's not
a great measurement, but it's all I have time for.

I don't seem to have many problems with other flash games though, like the
ones found at armourgames, addictinggames, newgrounds, unless they're too
graphics heavy as this current computer is 7-8 years old.

Now the Facebook games *did* work when I first updated to 10.10, and even
when I updated to the newest flash version. Then they suddenly started
playing up, like some secret update was installed without me knowing. I'd
say it was the facebook app developers fault if it wasn't for the fact that
some of the games are by different developers (not like FarmVille and
YoVille both being by Zynga).

Then I had a problem where flash seemed to have forgotten that it was
installed, in Opera, IE8 and Firefox together. Had to install it again on
all of them.

Dear Finnigann,

[Bill Nipper]

Thanks for the help.

For some reason, now the site & Opera work OK together.

I tried both the search and the new URL
< http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8223717.stm >

I also tried it 3 times,
because it failed on the 3rd try for John Lewis.

I assume something is (was?) weird about the site content/structure.

Opera 9.64
Win XP SP3
Java 6 Update 15
Adobe Flash Plugin 10.0.32.18

Thanks again,
Bill Nipper
