The preview/beta is an older version than the stable release…?

Preview is currently older than stable release - it is there to test bittorrent support.

Steve, thanks for feedback.

How to make links for opera:config work in here?

GspuSi (2006-09-05 18:23:32)

Hello All,
From my bad experiences, the 8.54 version is the latest stable AND trustworthy AND wihout error console AND making no problems while editing the contact properties. Take care, and do not trust this software - any software. Do backup, do separate installs, do not migrate before your own tests are satisfactory for you.
Greetings,
Backup4Ever?

Every time I connect to Opera with my hotmail (is my default page) the Error Console pups up and I have to close it manualy; can the Error Console be left close all the time and oppened only if I want to troubleshoot Opera? I tried all the Manu Bar options and can't find how to disable it. Please let me know how to do it.

Thanks, Robert (murillorobert@hotmail.com)

some people can't use Opera because they aren't programmers, and the error console jumps in the face with information that means nothing, and what could i do about it anyway, maybe sign up to anothr forum, or just go back to firefox because i dont want to be a computer expert,not everyone must be a mechanic to use a car.

Eirenic0n (2007-10-06 13:35:46)

I think you're wrong, opera is more simple than firefox. AND if you know a LITTLE of web development you can do crazy things with it.
If you get error console without telling opera, something is wrong with your settings.
