Signatures are up to the individual to fix.

Can you give examples of what is broken, makes it easier to find and fix the problems.

Also, are you using the Mobile interface or the full desktop interface with frames? If you're trying to use the later on a small screened mobile device, you've got nobody but yourself to blame.

No problems in Android/Opera 12 with mobile mode. (Not even had any login issues there for a while, though desktop continues to need it every day.)

 

In full mode in it the navbar is missing but no other obvious problems - since it all works fine in native android browser, it's probably an Opera bug, not a Beehive one.

That's not the way Open Source software works!

An issue that is caused by bugs in other software (Opera), only affects one person, and only occurs for an explicitly non-supported action (desktop mode in mobile browser) is highly unlikely to get fixed in any OS project - least of all Beehive, which is almost entirely Matt working in his spare time.

You are of course welcome to contribute a fix yourself, or (if you don't have the time/patience to do that), you could also offer to sponsor the development of a fix. (i.e. pay for the time it takes to solve.)

Alternatively, you've got the workaround of just bookmarking the pages you use from the navbar and going directly to them when required.

(and, no, I have no vested interest in a fix for any Opera)

Opera (Desktop browser for Windows) is shit.

The installer has the "Set Opera as my default browser" checked by default AND hidden from the user. You have to click Advanced to be able to see it. It even does this when you're upgrading it, which seems to be more frequently than Firefox and Chrome combined at the moment. If Google, Microsoft or Mozilla pulled this trick, you can be sure they'd be shot down for being "bad sports" by the other camp's fanboys.

Once it's installed it sticks shit althrough your Windows Registry at the Machine level that makes software that runs with elevated privilleges think it's your default browser and not whatever you really have.

And it now (recently) includes a fucking Bittorrent client, which it helpfully sets as the default for .torrent files everytime you start it up, unless you go to the trouble of finding out how to disable the blasted thing.

I could keep going, but I won't.

It's had bittorrent for ages (though probably didn't set it as default which may have been your point).

It also has a built in webserver I believe.

There's definitely some Xzibit themed meme going on there. Yo Dawg, I heard you like to browse the net, so I put a web-server in your web-browser, so you can browse the web, whilst you browse the web.

Also I like the idea of Xzibit saying 'whilst' :D

Yep - that just means you can quote the time to fix accurately. :)

So Opera is akin to malware? I'm so happy that I choose Safari, the browser for Steve's bottom.

Not malware, they're just annoyingly egocentric.

An egocentric bottom with much to be egocentric about.

It was, indeed, a rather fine bottom, to be sure.
