I've been working on the style sheet for my blog and I've got a problem - the style is fine in normal viewing mode but if I hit F11 (to go to Full Screen) it's displayed more like Print Preview mode; hitting F11 again returns it to the correct style.

I have this problem with Opera 8.5 on both Fedora Linux and Windows 2000; I don't see the problem (i.e. it behaves as expected) with Firefox on FC3+Win2k and IE6 (spit!) on Win2k. (That's all the combinations I have available for testing.)

Any ideas? Does Opera use a different media type in Full Screen mode? (Sounds odd but that's all I can come up with.)

Every time I try to send an email anywhere at all, I get the following error message:

lordlucan@paradise.net.nz
Recipient error [553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)]

What the hell does that mean, and how do I fix it?

Did you notice on download.com that opera has been downloaded well over 5 million times already?

Hey all. I've got a few people in the office using Opera 8 now that it is ad-free, and to further sell the browser (though everyone is understandably impressed) I've made sure to have some cool search.ini tweaks available for them.

Latest one I came up with is for Google Maps. "map" is the key, so to get directions you'd enter (if you knew the addresses, of course):
map 151 Andover Street 01960 to 90 Pleasant Valley St 01844
(From one Borders bookstore to another, heh.)

I also made sure dictionary.com, merriam-webster.com, and wikipedia were available as those are popular places for myself and I think others would find them useful.

I also have some LJ-specific searches. Use LJ * for a livejournal page (such as: lj login.bml or lj poll/create.bml), lju for a user's page (such as: lju erislover), and ljf for a friends page (such as: ljf erislover).

Is anyone else having a problem with gmail using the new Opera 8.5? After I log in, I get the "Loading..." screen and then it just stops there. Yesterday I was able to reload it a few times and get it to work, but not this morning. I've tried identifying as Opera and as IE. Suggestions? Comments?

I upgraded to 8.5 and now I have an Opera icon in my systray -- this is annoying me to no end :) I can't seem to find anything in preferences. Do any of you know how to disable the systray icon?

ETA: the icon appeared because I accidentally created a chat account by joining an IRC channel in Opera instead of my usual IRC client. In case it helps anyone else in the future, deleting the chat account made the icon go away.

When you can't access the necessary pull down menu to go back to the normal view. And there's no keystroke shortcut. I did find how to get the scroll bars back (va the only function key that worked), but I couldn't get tabs, instead just hop between the tabs I had open. Eventually I just closed all tabs/windows (by mistake) and the new one opened up ok. I would have quit but I was downloading something and fortunately that kept downloading, even with all windows closed.

All that aside, with no keystroke and no pull down menu, how did you get out of full screen view?

Oh and I have a mac. Which might just mean the mac version is beta as it is with other browsers that shall not be named, and this is the burden I have to bare.

*dusts self off, checks bruises and decides that despite misadventures, opera is worth it*

Thanks for reading and any replies.

Due to some balls-ups I made while importing email settings from Mozilla, Opera was acting upon the assumption that I have four email accounts, instead of just the one. And it would send all my emails to all four of those accounts (then repeat) when they were all the same bloody account!

Having figured this out, and deleted all the "phantom" accounts, I now get all my emails once, and once only.

Therefore, Opera is no longer pissing me right off, and therefore I'm an official convert.

Tra la la.

I'm as psyched as everyone else about version 8.5. I'm on 8.02 right now but have not upgraded yet. My question to you guys is... are there any changes to be made to any of the .ini files? For instance, having to change the version number of the search.ini after going from 7.5 to 8 (or was it 8 beta.. I forget now). I don't really want to be the guinea pig on this, heh. Is the layout any different? Anyone have a screenshot? (Not important - I will upgrade eventually. Just curious as I hadn't heard anything about that yet.) Thanks people.

P.S. Good reads here at Opera Watch if you haven't seen it already.
