Nope, doesn't work.

1. Collapse subforums

2. Refresh

3. All collapsed subforums are not collapsed anymore.

;)

Not only that. I can't collapse more than one subforum.

When I click on the '-' for another subforum, it just turns to a '+', nothing more happens.

Anyway, I've reported it as a bug. It'll hopefully be fixed soon :)

this build seems to be the buggiest release so far for me . crashes very often ( unixbuild ) and many bugs reported :cool:

I like it so far, and can't wait for the final release. The UI certainly doesn't feel faster than the official version of Opera (which is what 9.23?) I don't know how they're making that claim, oh well...

The only problem I have is that sometimes, when I click around pages, it will just stop, take 100% CPU power, and just freeze for 5 seconds. Everything else is looking good.

Yeah the repainting is annoying and I also get the freezing while browsing. Maybe it is related to RSS? I know in previous releases like 9.2 I would get a freeze while it checks all of my RSS feeds for new messages, and freeze upon opening the first time as I load and it retrieves RSS. But I am not sure if it is related, just an idea.

I might be wrong, after watching the habits a bit more, it doesn't seem to freeze on a regular battern of 15 minutes like my RSS feeds. But it does freeze again when first starting up and checking feeds, which was supposed to be fixed in the first alpha correct?

Overall this build is a bit buggier, but that should be fixed soon from my experience haha

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
