Opera 9.5 Released

Just upgraded (think last version was 9.27) and does look rather different. Haven't fully tried it out yet but supposedly quite a few improvements (including speed) and added features. It's apparently the "stop gap" version until 10 is released.

Thanks - I'll download it, I like Opera the best

Ok have found a problem, when I have viewed a post on here the thread is still highlighted like a new post has been added, but when I check there is no new post, anyone else finding this?

It's ok, found the problem, the update changed one of my setting, probably to make the speed improvement more noticeable, tut tut naughty.

New problem since updating, and this one I can't find the solution, I keep getting logged off the forum, if I am idle for a while.

I'll try and keep an eye out for that and see if it happens to me.

Thanx, basically if I stop browsing the forum, minimise to the taskbar and do something else, whenever I bring the browser back uo and go to navigate to another forum or thread, I notice I have been logged off. Cookies are enabled as is the option to remember my logon.

Latest Opera 9.5 runs VERY fast, Firefox 3 beta still too buggy, Safari nice but not intuative, Firefox 2 memory hog, IE7 no thanks.

Opera is my winner at the moment.

Strange, I can't repeat that problem. I stay logged in.

Thanx for checking anyway, I found if I stopped browsing, browser minimised for about an hour and then say checked the forum index I'd be logged out, I'll keep an eye on it and see if it persists.
Worse was to come, since other than this minor annoyance it was working well on my laptop, I updated my desktop. On this machine it made changes to the appearance, which I couldn't work out how to fix. I had a small Icon of a magnifying glass top left next to google search field, when clicked on this opened a drop down tool bar with the zoom feature and a few other icons. The update binned that and added this as a permanent dirty great toolbar along the bottom. So I binned it. I'm not having an update rearrange my setup
