117925 2003-02-06 10:29:00 Susan>What I'd like to know is how can I have a similar bar to IE's "Links" that I have on my IE toolbar? I really miss those quick shortcuts and don't want Opera's "Hotlist" taking up valuable real estate. Anyone got any ideas?<

Susan, list your favorite sites in the "Personal Bar" heading under bookmarks, then go to "View" and turn on the personal bar, all your favorite links will be along the top of the tool bar.

Neil, the adds will appear after 2 weeks, unless you pay for them not too.

What I would like to know, as my other post has disapeared, is how to manage cookies so that only the ones I want will download, and all the others I block without being asked each time.

117926 2003-02-06 19:41:00 In reply to Danger, your prevoius posting is still there. Go to privacy in the Preferences and you can edit all the filters there, or just tick throw away new cookies on exit. That will allow cookies for sign in them delete them on close down. Tony S. (450)

Clueless, that's fantastic!! What really handy tips - thanks for that! :-)

Thanks Danger, I've just tried doing that but maybe I need to restart Opera because the links aren't showing on the Personal Bar yet. I did learn last night however that I could add and subtract my own links to that bar just like in IE's Links and that made my day. :-) All I need do now is figure out how to squash things up in order to claim some screen real estate back.

I'm with you on the Cookie issue though and hope that someone can enlighten us as to their management. We could tell Opera to delete the lot of them on exit, but that might mean we would have to sign in to PF1 each session and I don't want that. Just have to experiment I suppose. ;-)

Neil: hold down Shift when you click on the Emoticons link and it will open in a new page.


> Boy this thing is different.

Yes, it is. I do a lot of mouse dragging to highlight text to copy and paste and Opera doesn't select to the end of the last line in a paragraph easily like IE does. Is taking a bit of getting used to. It has lots of good features tho -- SPEED being one of them! ;-)

117929 2003-02-07 00:46:00 Tried that Susan!Now it works.Mustn't've been pushing hard enough on the shift key. ;\
Now I'll try to find my copy I was going to post when F1 disappeared this morning.
I've set up preferences the following way.File,preferences,privacy.Enable cookies,display received cookies.Don't accept 3rd party cookies.And throw away new cookies.Then when starting up in F1,the login screen comes up and I signed in.And a screen comes up asking me if I want Wand to save my password,yes.After I enabled display received cookies,a screen came up and asked if I wanted to save F1,which I accepted.So when I go to F1,I click login,then Wand and I'm in.So till someone explains how to go straight in like IE6,where I can save the cookie but no others,this is it!
