Opera and FastForward are working just fine.

What has happened is that you are seeing that there were posts made to the website in-between days of the series.

The post made after this one was Google Sidebars (you can see that below)

As for how to properly markup a page, see http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=608 but the best way is to use the proper HTML markup for “next” as shown here:

<link rel=”next” href=”http://operalover.tntluoma.com/sidebars/google_sidebars/” title=”Google Sidebars” />

Note the ‘rel=”next”’ part. If you View Source on this page you will see that.

If that is not found, Opera scans the page and tries to guess.

If your page uses a graphical arrow for “Next” without proper markup, it probably won’t work.

I hope that helps.

On properly marked up pages, Opera can try to guess what the next page would be. If enabled, this button will bring you to the next page in a series”

It doesn’t always work! For example, if I click fast forward on this page, it won’t go to the next day which is where I expect it to go.

What is properly marked up pages? How could I design a site so that fast-forward goes where I want it to?

STnp: The IE6 look-and-feel??? That’s odd :P Anyway, try this: http://portal.opera.com/startup/customize/

wally: An easy way is to use the personal bar (empty) and drag the bookmarks. If you want another bar (if you use the personal bar for something else) you’ll have to edit the toolbar .ini file, where you must create a new toolbar (not really for beginners, but not that difficult). Maybe the best way is to use some .ini files that someone else made. Try a search on “opera toolbars” or something…

Marty Graw: I don’t think there’s an easy way to do that. Anyway, take a look at this page: http://djvulibre.djvuzone.org/doc/man/nsdejavu.html

I my IE, below the title bar, I have a following setup:

Line 1: Menu Bar + Address Bar

Line 2: Standard buttons bar + Links bar

I haven’t yet figured out, how it can be done in Opera 8. Better yet, I would be grateful if someone could create a theme that would reproduce looks, feel and behaviour of IE 6. So far, I have only found loads of ‘cutesy’ and ‘master-blaster-graphics-maniac’ themes, all uninteresting to ones, who like more Windows 95/NT4/2000 plain interface. This skin-theme thing has really aberrated useability, and that is where IE still has currently upper hand compared to Opera - in my opinion.

Width is the most precious space since scrolling up down is easier than left/right. With O8 I am now using left/right a lot more — a REAL PAIN.

So is there a way to get 7.23 functionality on this item. i.e. I want to move the Bookmarks, Transfers, History, etc buttons to a horizontal place, like above the bookmarks area.

opera 7,2 (?) i think allowed me to use all the web as my preferred search with , now its google , how do i change that

thanks David

{{TjL writes: simple… just follow the directions I’ve already mentioned… change the first search engine URL to be something like http://www.alltheweb.com/search?q=%s}}

(Note: I didn’t write this day, as noted in the article. Personal Bar will be discussed later, yes — TjL)

Whenever I want to see the stylesheet of a page, I follow the hint from LiteraryMoose, who proposed the following mouse gesture for this task:

GestureRight, GestureDown | Duplicate page & Go to link element, “stylesheet” & Switch to previous page

This works perfectly fine for me, the original page is still there.
