I don't see anything wrong with it? What is really bad with it? Simply CTRL+ENTER and bam, you're logged in?

Automatically, without your consent for each site? I would hate that. I only want certain passwords saved, ones that I don't care much about. :tongue: The Opera "Wand" is pretty good IMO.

i use Opera a Bit in linux when im on me other system,  depending how lazy you wanan be in windows DZ, i believe netscape does the same to, Cookie can verify that, but you do have some saught of Control over the password manager, , you can either get the  usernames/passwords  remembered or Never or Not for This Site, just makes things more easier an user friendlier IMO

hmm well they have added everything needed for my wysiwyg editor to work... might see how well it runs on opera when i get bored

edit:

wow the wysiwyg uses <STRONG> tag to do bold... :/ it shouldnt use them in caps and it should use the css method insted rawr.

with some hard testing with my editor i crashed the designMode iframe (wysiwyg) quite a few times..

anyway heres a copy of my editor which works on opera

and heres a screen shot
[Image: wysiwyg_on_opera.JPG]

Known bugs :
Emotcion panel loads down bottom.
Inserting an emotcion from that panel makes the wysiwyg not able to select text untill that emotcion is removed (opera bug i think...)

No. When you put in a username and password in for the first time, the option to save it, not save it now or never save it comes up.
