Opera 6 web browser available

[Andyfr]

To all those who use Opera, version 6 is available for download at Opera 6

I have been trying it and they have fixed several bugs.

I've got v6 as well, but the problem with posting here on TBN still exists /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif.

Since using the non beta version I haven't had any problems posting on TBN. There again it didn't happen every time, only occasionally so maybe it will happen this time.



Yes it has!!! /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Andyfr,

I had no idea what Opera 6 was, so I went to the link you posted. It is apparently another web browser. I guess my question is, how and why is it preferable to Explorer or Netscape?

Opera is faster.

Hi Wal

Thanks for pointing out that I hadn't put what Opera was /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif, I have now edited the title to include it. Serves me right for making assumptions. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

As Mike says it is faster. This is more noticable if you are on a dial up modem line. There are also some other really nice features, if you would like to have a look at the following link they are explained far better than I could. Opera Features

A good test of the speed difference is to have IE, Netscape and Opera all started and open the same page at the same time. I didn't know how slow Netscape 4.7 was until I used Opera.

Andy & Mike,

I basically put Opera on the back burner because of the posting flukes with TBN... {other places are ok???}

So let us know when that workaround is fixed for good.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi John

There are occasional issues with other sites, but no more than there are with IE or Netscape. I admit that it can be slightly annoying when trying to post on TBN but as I don't make that many posts I'm prepared to put up with it. I will keep you informed of any fixes.

Regards
