Opera 7.1 realeased - 3 new features

[Force Flow]

http://www.opera.com/products/deskto...atform=windows

Here's the 3 new features:

-Notes- Speed up researching with the new Notes features. Jot down a note in conjunction with a Web page, drag the note to an e-mail to send it to others, or simply store your notes for future reference. -FastForward and Rewind- The FastForward and Rewind functions let the browser anticipate where you may want to go next. -Slideshow- The FastForward button displays photo files on the Web in a slideshow. To see photos full-screen on a black background, simply press F11 to invoke Opera's presentation tool OperaShow.

force_flow2002,

Just d/l'd 7.10 and it is much faster.

Anyway, 7.10 is what they call it.

Yeah - I dunno what else they did, but it's a LOT snappier than 7.0x. This is one high performance browser.

[Doobie]

Im using 7.02 and wasnt thinking about up grading but I think I will now...

[Force Flow]

I just installed it and Wow! It's moving along pretty past! I'm impressed! And I'm even connecting at 24k with my dial-up

I wonder how it works...

[Kubie]

force_flow,

Do you have trouble getting rid of the splash screen? I click the box in the lower left hand corner to get rid of it, but each time I open Opera, its back.

Carl

[Force Flow]

Which one? The one that sets preferences? If it's that one, leave it checked.

Lol, take a look at the wording. It says the opposite of what you would think it should say.

[SARGE]

Geez, you guys are baiting me. I got every browser known to man so guess I'll try this new one.

Do you guys get the JAVA version?

[Kubie]

HEHEHE,
Guess they figure you wouldn't want it anyway, so they check it for you.
I've tried the big three browsers and until Opera 7.10, I always figured Mozilla was the fastest. Not any more.
Carl

[SARGE]

JAVA or not?

[Kubie]

Sarge,

With Java.

Carl

Got the w/o version before seeing your post. I already found a snafu - it won't redirect from email when someone responds to a thread over here.

[glc]

If you already have the Sun JRE installed, you don't need the Java version, it will link itself fine.

I don't know exactly what you are getting at, but when you click on a link in your e-mail it will open it in whatever your system default browser is.

Houston, we have a problem..........this happening to anyone else with 7.10?

After surfing for a while (long enough to fill up the cache), closing Opera results in a spontaneous reboot (Win2K with reboot on error turned OFF). A friend experienced the same thing with XP Home.

[Kubie]

glc,

Not yet. Haven't experienced the problem.

Now that you mentioned it, I probably will.

Carl

[Force Flow]

Hasn't happened with me on 98SE. Haven't tried it with XP yet, though.

[SARGE]

What if you raise the size of cache in preferences ?

[glc]

Just raised it from 20mb to 100mb, we shall see......

[SARGE]

I can't use my wheel on mouse to scroll in Opera.

[Kubie]

Sarge,
Did you go through the mouse/KB features in preferences?
Carl

[Dangermouse1]

I have 2 comps each with opera and with different wheel mice and am fine with both and dont remember having to do anything in prefereces.

[SARGE]

Mine don't work, period. OK in Mozilla and IE. Still same problem when doing email and it says "****has responded to a thread...". I click it and it errors out. Default browser nothing, as IE is default and Mozilla does ok with it.

[glc]

Bumping the cache up fixed it!

Go figure - I've had it at 20mb with all previous versions with no problems........

[SARGE]

Good for 'ya. Now fix my scroll mouse (Logitech).

[glc]

I use a M$ scroll mouse with Intellipoint software and it works fine with Opera defaults - are you running windows default mouse driver or Logitech Mouseware?

[SARGE]

Bought it a few weeks ago after building the pc. Just plugged it in with no software. Scrolls nicely on IE and Mozilla but not Opera.

[glc]

You might need to install the Logitech drivers.

Update - Opera rebooted the machine on exit again today, now I'm trying an earlier version of Zone Alarm. Grrrrrrr.

You're going back to an oldie just to get Opera to work better? I'm using Pro just like you and it doesn't reboot on me (Opera).

[Force Flow]

Sygate here. The combo works fine on my machine for both 98SE and XP Pro.

[glc]

I'm not using Pro - I'm using Free. I'm also using Win2000, and I use RASPPPoE for my DSL.
