News » May release

By EspenAO. Wednesday, 14. May 2008, 10:18:48

New month, new release. This time we've focused on adjusting parts of our new file upload policy by adding a warning page for users trying to download a file with no My Opera referral. Previously, you got a message stating that access was denied, but not anymore. We've also added a sharing functionality to some of the other major social networking sites. We hope you like the changes.

Some video files which were not identified (such as .wmv) could be uploaded. This has been fixed.
Cosimo now has a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations!
Previously, the blogs section only showed global blogs, even if the selected 'tab' was 'New (local)'. This has been fixed.
We've added a functionality to share good posts on some of the major social networking sites. This feature is enabled by default, but if you want to disable the social links you can do it from your blog settings in the account page (uncheck "Enable content sharing" and save your profile). The social networking sites we provide a service for are:

del.icio.us
digg
Facebook
ma.gnolia
reddit
Slashdot

Blog posts dated in the future now works as intended (yeay!). This means that if you write a new post, date it one week ahead, it actually gets posted in the feed one week ahead.
We've added a warning page for users trying to download files with no My Opera referral. To avoid abuse and spoofing/phishing we've implemented a landing page with a link to the file in question.
Attaching files now works in forums again.

There has also been a lot of under the hood fixes (as always), but the visible and most important ones are mentioned above.

cool

, but i dont like much some social networking sites added ,del.icio.us ,digg , etc...

By brokenheartvn, # 14. May 2008, 10:25:02

Is there any way to configure what networking sites should be supported (would be best to predefine a default setting and edit that for each post)?

Still a good update.

Thanks!

By Schalandra, # 14. May 2008, 10:29:58

Can I get rid of those "social"-website links on my blog if I don't want them?

Cause I don't want them. They just clutter my page with more virtual insanity.

By TheAtilla, # 14. May 2008, 10:31:42

the feature with social networking sites is really cool! I love blogging on My Opera now! ))) Especially del.icio.us and Facebook!! Thank you guys!!!

By kumenova, # 14. May 2008, 10:31:56

Not as cool, as the previous release, but..

Adding a sharing feature is great!

By melnichuck, # 14. May 2008, 10:32:38

I hope you'll fix as soon as possible this photo comments problem.

Ciao, Igor

By igorditerni, # 14. May 2008, 10:35:15

other updates are great, but i dont want social webs link added, coz i dont want any other blog during blogging on opera.

By brokenheartvn, # 14. May 2008, 10:37:23

awesome!

By Kraid, # 14. May 2008, 10:37:57

Great!

For everyone who want to make the social-sites invisible:

I noticed that all the "social" can be "hidden" be editing the 'custom style sheet'. (Go to 'my account' - 'design' and click on 'custom style sheet') Just add:

.sharethis{
display:none;
}

(Don't forget to press the save-button)

(I've tried it on my blog and after adding the above 3 lines the "social" sites seem to be gone.)

By sirnh1, # 14. May 2008, 10:43:42

^that.

.sharethis { display:none; } will hide the Share icons.

Although, I quite like them. I just need to edit my stylesheet so they look correct. As opposed to now... where they're all over the place. Hehe.

Edit: heh. I just noticed that it's MY blog in the screenshot in the original post.

By coxy, # 14. May 2008, 10:48:43

Cool update

By wallpearl, # 14. May 2008, 11:00:45

awesome update !

By VegaTheTerrible, # 14. May 2008, 11:13:22

I think it's also an idea just to hide the icons you don't want to see:

/* SOCIAL NETWORKING */
// .sharethis { display: none; } /*all off*/
.facebook { display: none !important; } /*facebook off*/
div.sharethis ul li a.delicious { display: none; } /*delicious off*/
div.sharethis ul li a.magnolia { display: none; } /*magnolia off*/
// div.sharethis ul li a.digg { display: none; } /*digg off*/
div.sharethis ul li a.reddit { display: none; } /*reddit off*/
// div.sharethis ul li a.slashdot { display: none; } /*slashdot off*/
div.sharethis ul li a.technorati { display: none; } /*technorati off*/

By Schalandra, # 14. May 2008, 11:20:35

It's not necessary to hack the CSS to disable the social links.
You can do it in your blog settings in the account page.
Now there is a new option: Enable content sharing which is checked by default; just uncheck it and save your profile.

By edoardos, # 14. May 2008, 11:21:42

Oh no...

All images in 365 group albums are not visible!

Correct it!

Ciao, Igor

By igorditerni, # 14. May 2008, 11:24:03

nice one

By lamarca, # 14. May 2008, 11:32:22

Cool update...

By Sreeramu, # 14. May 2008, 11:33:29

Is there any way to change the mobile stylesheet to display and wrap the social bookmarks line according to screen width? At the moment it hides a few if they don't fit on the screen.

By Furie, # 14. May 2008, 11:34:00

why u have to hide the icons share?

thanks to Opera team which already worked hard for it.

*although the icons make my blog look not good,
haha
may be i should consider that css code, lol*

By bayanga, # 14. May 2008, 11:41:18

yes, furie u right.
the icons are not fit in mobile view.

i just can see 3 of them

By bayanga, # 14. May 2008, 11:48:04

ma.gnolia

Slashdot

No no no no...we don't need that!

By MizzMartinez, # 14. May 2008, 11:48:48

I agree with brokenheartvn .
I can't figure out why did you add those social networking sites here.

Their place is not here..I think. Adds..

By zoligrg89, # 14. May 2008, 11:49:50

not good, I don't need digg or anything ext...

By nguyentuanngoc, # 14. May 2008, 11:58:02

I think that this feature have not to be activated by defalut.
Thank you Edoardos

By lor74cas, # 14. May 2008, 12:01:00

mail notification not working !!

By lamarca, # 14. May 2008, 12:01:24

You can switch off the social network links by going to "account" > "edit blog settings".

they should have been off by default. not sure why someone turned them on... we should change that. sorry

By fred, # 14. May 2008, 12:01:47

Why all our nice individual header images are gone?

By ALLY_G, # 14. May 2008, 12:08:12

Cosimo now has a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations!

I LMAOed.

Grats.

By drlaunch, # 14. May 2008, 12:21:56

Wow, I didn't see so many people being against this idea. Boy is my thumb not on the pulse of Opera.

By Furie, # 14. May 2008, 12:31:12

Finally; I was looking for these. Thanks.

By yeeliberto, # 14. May 2008, 12:36:09

Oh! The last news' header on the main page is now highlited! Cool!

By melnichuck, # 14. May 2008, 12:40:15

Why all our nice individual header images are gone?

Are you talking about the top image header in your blog? AFAIK, it's working just fine.

We've also removed the social networking links from the blog overview mode. Now it only displays in the single post overview, as it should.

By EspenAO, # 14. May 2008, 12:41:17

Ah, that looks better now! Thanks.

@Furie
I think many bloggers on Opera aren't much into blogging things that could change the world (like CSS that can change the look of your car or such). That's why many don't need/want it. But I still think the idea is good.

By Schalandra, # 14. May 2008, 12:50:01

Hi EspenAO,
thanks for reply.
Yes, that I'm talking about.
Wow, that is magic! Now it's back again.

By ALLY_G, # 14. May 2008, 12:50:24

Hi, the share this links, should be less intrusive now.

I have to agree I used to think they were bad, but now I have already shared this article on Facebook I really like it, maybe I will start blogging things I can post on other sites easily, also helping people getting aware of our nice community ;-)

By nicomen, # 14. May 2008, 12:55:53

Yeah, I just don't get the point of complaining. Someone doesn't want it, they can turn it off. Simple. Saying they don't belong here or we don't need them just mystifies me when some people will use them anyway. It just seems a little selfish.

By Furie, # 14. May 2008, 12:58:51

I hope you get the photo links fixed soon and the:
401 Authorization Required

You do not have the required credentials to view this page.

Possible causes may be that you are not logged in, or you are trying to access a restricted area.

When I try to delete messages in my group. We have 45 messsages we can't delete.

By Dacotah, # 14. May 2008, 13:01:38

I think it's largely dependant on what you intend to use your blog for. A personal blog you could share on Facebook... but that might be the extent of it. A post like this one would make use of the Digg links, Reddit links and the majority of them. Technology blogs would use the Slashdot and Digg links, etc etc.

Myself, I hid a few of the icons because I won't need them. It all looks quite nice now it's been removed from the main blog listing.

...which can't be said for the rest of my cross-browser incompatible CSS. *cough*

By coxy, # 14. May 2008, 13:03:18

Yay! Although I would have liked them being shown in blog overview mode, (as I mainly wanted this for N+, and I don't know if people will actually click through into the blog post page if we put all the information right there up front), this is nice too.

Maybe could have had the option of blog overview mode?

By G-off, # 14. May 2008, 13:07:23

Now I can not open the full size photos

Yay for useless social bookmarking buttons i never asked for, but got them anyways!

Yay for not fixing an obvious bug with restricting me to edit my own tags i reported month ago!

By Kingnutin, # 14. May 2008, 13:54:27

Muy muy bien !!!

, cada vez mejorando Opera. Opera ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Good work guys!

By vladrodr, # 14. May 2008, 13:58:01

I personally think this is a great idea. Share share share and share some more. I was actually thinking about adding those types of things manually, which I did at one point in time but became lazy and put the idea back onto the shelf. Blogs that are not posted as 'friends only' or 'private' are PUBLIC. So the ability to share what you have posted publicly, in my opinion, in a great thing.

Thanks Opera Team

By angel292005, # 14. May 2008, 14:02:12

I just tried to upload pics to a blog post & all I got was LINKS to the pics so people have to click to see them. NOT good. Please fix!!!
