    thx!!

  • Mike9. September 2010, 08:17

    Is there will be another 10.63 release? Because most of bugs are still not fixed :(

    For example:
    - DSK-298346 (Start Bar blanked out after opening background tab) - is not fixed in this release (but in 10.70 it's fixed!)

    - DSK-308381 (When "Start Bar" is enabled, it is impossible to click the search bar in speed dial)

  • nimu_chan9. September 2010, 08:24

    Oh... very nice.
    Thanks :cheers:

  • GwenDragon9. September 2010, 08:24

    Bug DSK-310281 not really fixed.
    You had fixed a problem with Focus newspaper media rss feed, but you did forget to check other media rss feeds.
    Media feeds from BBC News or Cooliris do not display images in preview.
    Bug already reported.

  • anamorphose9. September 2010, 08:34

    Uff. It seems, that DSK-310142 bug (crash on blox.pl blogs when urlfilter.ini contains */cookiecontainer.blox.pl/* entry) is fixed.

    Doesn't work. Blank screen after starting Opera.
    (Win-7x64).

    Reinstallated 10.70-9044.

  • christianschneider9. September 2010, 08:58

    I have a problem with the site http://www.bytics.ch/

    In IE it works, but in Opera 10.62 not (also in Opera 10.61).

    You shouldn't mix up older branch (10.6x) with newer (10.7x) there are changes which can cause problems. You cannot install Windows Vista and then "upgrade" to Windows XP SP3 even if SP3 is newer than Vista.

    You can choose to follow path 10.61 -> 10.62 -> 10.63 (if there come one) or 10.61 -> 10.70 -> 10.71 etc. But it's not wise to jump 10.61 -> 10.70 -> 10.62.

  • Hans-Jürgen Bardenhagen9. September 2010, 09:13

    I don't know if this is a known issue, but there seems to be a problem with a popup JavaScript box in the new Myspace upload manager for band profiles. Here is the screenshot:

    http://bluezzbastardzz.kilu.de/screenshot_myspace_upload.gif

    The popup box listing the newly available upload formats is broken, i.e. the line wrap does not work, and the page has a horizontal scroll bar instead. But you cannot use that, because the mouse is needed for hovering over the "See all" link to initiate the popup box. ;) Firefox seems to be able to wrap the long line, because a Myspace forum user already showed me the complete popup box, so I'm not sure who to blame here, Myspace or Opera.

    In fact, it seems a problem with the website. Identifying as Firefox or Internet Explorer magically "fixes" this.

    They are probably using browser sniffing, mask it as Firefox and it will load, at least in 10.70.

    The whole 10.6x-branch will be available for PowerPC. so if there will be another version 10.63, then you most likely will find a powerpc update.

    confirmed, it is a website problem. I'll inform the admin.

    Are you joking? This isn't SUPPOSED to fix "most bugs." It's a minor release for important bugs only!

    Who gives a crap? It's not SUPPOSED to fix these, so stop spamming.

  • qwoco9. September 2010, 09:59

    Has the build-in Auto-Update function ever worked on MacOS when your account does NOT haven Admin-rights?

    Other Programms just promt for an Admin-Password --- Operaupdate just fails!

    Is this already known, or should I file a Bugreport?

  • artmil9. September 2010, 10:06

    1) It does not remember the last action after closing the browser, eg closing a tab before closing opera and then opening opera the tab is still opened...
    2) Skins: The close buttons with negative margins still don't work.
    3) Menus: While navigating(up and down with the mouse) menus with submenus (eg bookmarks with folders) the submenus sometimes popup sometimes not and sometimes just blink and disappear...
    4) The https pages don't always work http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=6915712 !

    And now I eagerly wait for 10.70

  • toyo9. September 2010, 10:12

    Hey and thanks for the release. Should I update from the latest RC (10.62 Build 3500) ? Is the same build?

  • cascarudex9. September 2010, 10:25

    The family keeps growing :yes:

    :cheers: thx Opera DesktopTeam!

  • Ismo Hänninen9. September 2010, 10:35

    Is it too hard to put the number of the release above? Every time a lot of people have to ask is it the same as the last RC.

    I don't know if it's just me but it seams like builds since 10.54 forget "visited links".
    I'm stuck at older build because every time I close Opera all links I visited change to unvisited.
    I deleted global_history.dat file but it it doesn't help.
    Or is it just me?

  • israel9. September 2010, 11:28

    If you identify yourself as FF or IE, it works. If you choose to identify as Opera, it doesn't. In a case like this, the cause is normally that the server double compresses the file served when it does nor recognize the browser. There is nothing Opera can do (AFAIK), the problem is on the server. Try to contact the webmaster and explain him his server is doing stupid things.

  • Михаил9. September 2010, 13:03

    I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but in one of the development threads they said support for Windows older than XP has been dropped. :(

  • Dale P. Baker9. September 2010, 16:33

    Better fix the NON classic install of 10.62 first.
    If you have a previous version of Opera Classic installed ,the download will fail. Did it on 4 of my machines. Easy fix get 10.62 Classic installer

    I first ran into that same problem with Opera 10.60, and I then found that installing the KernelEx kernel extension package ( KernelEx ) for Win98 resolved the issues, allowing me to go ahead and install 10.60. Supposedly, one of the 10.61 "fixes" dealt with the Win98 issue, though I didn't test it but simply left my KernelEx package in place for my 10.61 install. Perhaps there was a regression in 10.62 back to 10.60 involving the Win98 missing dll issue? In any case, I just used the Classic installer to put Opera 10.62 successfully over top of 10.1 on this ancient Win98 First Edition system (which had the KernelEx package) and am using it to type this message.

    Really like the menu fix. No more waiting *forever* on the widgets menu when I go by. :yes:

    I don't particularly like flash.... it's just that it would be so much more awesome if I could actually use it. And I get this sinking feeling that I'm gonna keep having to use Safari for Grooveshark and the like, as the 10.6 series slows to it's death.
