Nice workaround, but I didn't have to do that in older versions. I'm too used to click, ENTER, ENTER

i just upgraded to 10.10 (from 10.01) and i cannot get the captcha right at torrentleech?? also not in pochta.ru. when i enter the right words it always fails...

but when i go here to the recaptcha demo page its always accepted.
anyone else for torrentleech not working with 10.10?

edit:/ now they changed the ANNOYING login procedure to an even MORE ANNOYING one! argh,.. at least this way my login problem is gone.

Didn't have any problems with Opera 10.10 and TL's captcha if that still helps.

A shame SCC adopted that system as well...

Hey guys, here's my opinion about the Opera 10.50pre-alpha:

Since my last post in this section was some time ago, I decided to give you guys an update about the recently released version of the norwegian browser.

First of all, there's the appearance. There's a massive change:

What can be seen is, that all the menus have moved and are now accessible through the upper menu in the left corner. (Kind of the start menu in the OS's)
See for yourself:


Other things that I can say about the pre-alpha version is, that is uses much more ram on my system. ~ 127mb with 3 tabs openend atm. But since this is an early version I think they will tweak this so that in the end it will use up as much memory as the other browsers.

On the other hand I can say that its much faster with the new engines build in and once loaded into the ram, I much more like browsing. (+ it's fits more into the windows 7 style and makes use of the windows super bar:
)
I haven't seen a single error since I'm using it. (Even though I only browse my normal pages + tracker sites)

So, if you want to give it a try, I think it's worth it.
And since I'm not that into multitasking I can afford those 130mb too. ^^

I've been searching for weeks on how to get back to the old method!!
the whole enter enter thing was perfect!
I was struggling with that so bad.. finally I gave up to always open with torrent client :\

I'd love to know how to make that work like the old way again

The final release of Opera 10.50 comes closer and closer...
Today, Opera released the first Beta build of its upcoming version 10.50 - at first, only for Windows. Linux and Mac versions will follow up later. The most important changes aren't visible to users. One of the major ones made is the implementation of the JavaScript engine "Carakan", which Opera hopes will revive its former slogan "the fastest browser on Earth": after comparing the SunSpider benchmark results against the stable 10.10, the new Beta could convince testers, since its results were 12 times better. And when it comes to Safari and Chrome, Opera still has an edge, with 1.5x faster results. Another new feature in the release is the vector graphics library Vega, which will ensure smoother and faster picture transitions.

Das hört sich ja alles schon sehr gut an, wenn die Geschwindigkeit passt fehlt es Opera nur noch an den addons um nach den Firefox zu greifen...
