    Fabulous! Last build worked A-OK!
  • jonspencerbx17. November 2006, 17:20:00

    Crasher with master password is fixed. Thanks for that.
  • ziwiz17. November 2006, 17:21:34

    Im getting a error when I press "Go to homepage" in the fraud warning window. It says its an unknown adress/the adress is not supported. My homepage adress is "www.gmail.com".

    But I found out why, its because I havent used "http://" in front of the adress. But that should be unnecessary, and easy to fix.

    Yours,
    ziWiz

    I can't see the new fraud protextion icons? Just did a clean install; the mac way = replaced the old Opera app folder.
  • cielkisu17. November 2006, 17:25:56

    thanks again :D i really appreciate it much
  • jonspencerbx17. November 2006, 17:28:20

    @frisby: Just did a clean install on windows too, no new icons.
  • yokey17. November 2006, 17:30:38

    thanks new build
  • babox17. November 2006, 17:32:02

    Thanks!

    Just a question: when will you remove the dot after "Enable fraud protection" ? :rolleyes:
  • gun17. November 2006, 17:38:22

    When will we see the new dev-toolbar? Will it come with the final?
  • AKA Panama Jack17. November 2006, 17:39:08

    Well, they didn't fix this javascript problem with this release.

    And yes a bug report was made.
  • MisterE17. November 2006, 17:42:07

    I think the fraud protection dialog should be color coded (green=verified, red=scam site, gray=not verified). After a manual check it would be far easier to see the site's trust status.

    (Not related) The latest builds seems to me they are very stable. Keep up the good work :wink:
  • krusha17. November 2006, 17:42:50

    Just interesting...

    Does this blog still consider me as spammer?
  • xErath17. November 2006, 17:44:03

    A week of work and the build number only increased by 4 ?
    hum...
  • FataL17. November 2006, 17:44:33

    Something wromg with this build?...
    When I try to open http://my.opera.com/community/
    Opera opens also new tabs with http://my.opera.com/community/%5Btype%20Function%5Dshare?p=%5Bobject%20Object%5D&embed=1
    (I did a clean install)
  • kyleabaker17. November 2006, 17:46:38

    Excellent! Google videos are indeed working! :D

    I see nothing new with... "New Fraud Protection icons." Does it require a fresh install? The icons appear to be the same as last weeks icons.
  • rseiler17. November 2006, 17:47:03

    @MisterE: I wouldn't hold your breath for color coding. Remember about a year ago how the Three Families (MS, Mozilla, and Opera) had a sit-down and agreed on the color coding of the URL bar for various levels of https?

    That never happened--in the case of Opera, which maintains its own alternative way of handling it (involving some coloring, yes).
  • superjoppe17. November 2006, 17:47:31

    Yay new release!
    But I must admit I Really want to see the dev toolbar and some OS X improvements soon -_-;;
  • FataL17. November 2006, 17:48:03

    When user has disabled auto fraud protection and does a manual check state of page - icon should be changed to a proper state.

    Thanks a lot !
  • szotsaki217. November 2006, 18:00:41

    I have no new icons. Or the change is not so markable.

    Page preferences on localhost don't work. Bug-230350. It was reported three or four weeklies ago.

    Opera hangs on http://wikipedia.com since a month or more. Wikipedia is one of the most visited sites.

    I can report a site more than once. I have only to do that report first normally then click OK then report again and again. I think the last OK button should close the window.

  • cafesote17. November 2006, 18:03:03

    Great job.
    Could be considered a change of the layout program and icons. A current younger style; crystal buttons, a new opera icon... with a competition maybe... To marketing more.

    :yes:

    Hey, how do y'all determine who gets to make the weekly "Desktop Team" Blog post?
  • ytsmabeer17. November 2006, 18:10:57

    People who don't see the new icons, try the Opera skin.
    I could be wrong but it's small(the changes)
  • CharleneFerrara17. November 2006, 18:12:00

    Still wonder why some websites are not displayed the correct way, so http://www.seelenfarben.de/kalenderblatt/20061028.htm still misses the flower pictures. Firefox loads and displays the two pictures, Opera keeps on lacking here on that issue.

    Doesn't it? Works fine here... :smile: Which OS are you using?
  • wupperbayer17. November 2006, 18:17:30

    @ytsmabeer: The only difference I can see (using the standard skin) is that those icons look more 3-D-ish. And i don’t know for sure but isn’t that triangle with the "!" inside (visible when you visit a fraud site) wasn’t there before?

    Do you by any chance use user stylesheets for my.opera.com ?

    SEARCH depends on WORD-BREAK.
    are you ever going to fix the bug??
    http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=144564

    try to search for "fresh from the build servers" in this page.
    yes, there it is, on the top of this page (above the change log).

    but Opera CAN'T find it ... :mad:
  • omeow17. November 2006, 19:03:22

    Thanks for fixing bug 238151. :smile:

    Can't confirm the crasher dfyfe described. Build 8653 on XP Pro SP2.

    Shame you guys didn't add the ability to go into block mode or block images by right clicking on them. Seems like you almost don't want people to use it to block images.

    Seconding the question by babbox, which I also asked in the previous build thread. Hopefully you guys can address such a tiny issue, even though it's trivial.
  • Zybex17. November 2006, 19:10:31

    Why no 'Go' button by default? This confuses user who tries Opera for first time.
  • olli17. November 2006, 19:14:08

    consalt: I'm not getting a crash here. Could you please file a bug report and attach a crashlog (http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=432) so we can look into it?
    Thanks

    No. As I mentioned I did very clean install.
    I'm using Windows XP SP2.
    And actually after typing in http://my.opera.com/ in address field and hitting "Enter" key I got 2 new tabs with same content: http://my.opera.com/community/%5Btype%20Function%5Dshare?p=%5Bobject%20Object%5D&embed=1
    Anyone else? Or it's just me unlucky?
    I tried being logged in also - same effect.
  • FataL17. November 2006, 19:22:20

    @operic: confirmed
  • olli17. November 2006, 19:23:07

    kennycrudup: We just agree in 2 sec.. It's just very random :-)
