Can I, like, sign up here? Is there to be a "Opera Users and Support Group"?

Welcome, hands out membership badge (you unroll your trouser leg now) 
I hope to be able to expand the page to be more useful over the next few weeks, and hopefully the threads hanging off this page can be used to promote the use of Opera, to share tips & tricks & to help those with technical problems.
I’m pretty ok in terms of technical competence with the windows version, but I would love & co-author(
) who knows about the Linux version.

Hum... I use the 5.0 for Linux. Looks good. Works fine. Rather similar to the Windoze one.

There you go. One other thing. As I'm also a member of SPAM (Society for the Prevention of Apostrophe Abuse), shouldn't it be "Opera Users' Group" or "Opera User's Group"?

Hello hello! Opera user reporting in!
I use Opera 5 for Windoze. And I got rid of the irritating banner ads in the free version

version 6 is out (if you registered for V5 the upgrade should free (I think
), so you should be able to contiue ad-free browsing)
Hands over badge

I'm not really here Posted Dec 1, 2001
Yes, add me please.
I've put my google search in the address bar, so I don't even have to click anything to find what I want. This is very interesting, because I only use what I know, I've been too lazy to investigate everything that Opera does, finding the panels was very handy, I'm going to put the menu frame from my personal page in there. I'm also going to put the who's online window in as a panel, then I can use the pop up killer. Hurrah!
Thanks.

Now that's a good idea. It means I no longer have any use for Ad Subtract, so I can get rid of that

Other things which are good about Opera:
- Very small programme, thus it can be run on older computers... which other current browser can you use on a Pentium I 90 MHz?!
- The "Open In Background" feature
- The "Google Search" panel / "double click on a word" menue
