Opera 8.02 - FREE FOR A DAY!

also on the bottom of the apperance panel you can change the color scheme also with the skins and the color scheme you have hundreds of different options.

 

Do all websites display properly or would I still need IE for some?

 

I have never found a web page that didn't seem to display properly with opera, I am sure that there must be some but I haven't found them.. But I do keep IE up to date and secured even though I don't use it. Windows uses IE as default for several task's so it pays to keep it updated.

 

The only time I use IE is for Windows Updates.
Opera should work for most websites.

The free reg code link worked great!Thank You for posting it Ailric.

 

thanks BigC here's a picture of my opera.

 

here is the one I am useing right now

 

Opera rules, loads in a jiff compared to bloated FF, runs like a dream, cache reading is lightning fast.

Great of them to offer this wonderful browser for free, it is truly a nice gesture which would make many followers.

 

how do you get your bookmarks on the toolbar? are they all your bookmarks, or your toolbar bookmarks? i looked at the toolbar options and it doesn't have a bookmark one

 

Here's mine:

To get your bookmarks on the toolbar, right click on the toolbar, click on customize, tick "Personal Bar" then click on OK.

Then go to Bookmarks and Manage Bookmarks. If you don't see any bookmarks, click in the white space in the left window pane. Then right-click on a bookmark and click on "Show in personal bar" ^_^

PS: The skin I'm using is Occhi Blu. (Here, the first one, not the last one)

 

thanks, Kye-U. i can't make up my mind whether i should use the Personal Bar, or not.

 

here is my current opera, Ice do you think we ought to start another thread on how to configure opera??

 

Good Idea BigC.

 

i need all the help i can get

 

well ice come here and we will try and give you a hand

 

thanks, i think i've set cookies correctly now. i should be able to stay logged in from now on. i'll go through the other thread.

 

This is a great idea. I've been messing around with Opera for a few weeks, but don't really care for it so far as compared to Firefox. I will have to check out your other thread bigc.

Thanks.
