miniM3 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I just switched to firefox cause opera 8 was getting too much buggy for me. My most common bug is that a page would load/render very fast and will stop at the last image or something and stay there waiting..... After a month I had enough of that.

trigger_my_passion Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Even tho the installer for this 8.01 Peview 1 suggests that it be installed to a separate folder, I installed right on top of 8.0. So far everything's smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniM3 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thanks for sharing that with us... 585881591[/snapback] Thanx for the ironic comment. I've been using opera since version 6.5 something.... I just lost my patient with 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme $niper Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thanx for the ironic comment.I've been using opera since version 6.5 something.... I just lost my patient with 8. 585881997[/snapback] That comment wasnt even ironic... Do you know what ironic means? Anyways, I've experienced almost no problems with Opera 8. There was a few times where I closed a tab and the whole browser closed but I opened and I chose the option to open up where I left off so no harm done. I'll update when its a final release.

Chode Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Thank for the update (Y) I was getting one of these frequent crashes at Gigabyte's site. It's good to see Opera managing to keep up-to-date with their customers problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zkal Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 why do they disable SVG animations and GIF? 585886353[/snapback] They didn't disable them, they provided an option to disable them if user wants so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 why do they disable SVG animations and GIF? 585886353[/snapback] On the F12 menu there has always been an option to disable GIF animation (great to stop some annoying ads or bright flashing colours). My assumption is that this now also controlls SVG animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can test it at Opera's SVG page. http://www.opera.com/features/svg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worbd Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Preview one? Shouldnt this just be a patch or somthing? :/ 585881566[/snapback] A patch? This is not a release. It's a preview (alpha) - a version for public testing. It is not a new release. It isn't supposed to be a patch, because there's nothing to patch. I just lost my patient with 8. Naw, you didn't lose him. He probably got better, and is now using Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
