    Why not? What does not work? All the more odd because the obvious things are default: you have to accept (some) Cookies, but Opera does do that by default; and you have to allow redirection -- which again Opera does do by default. Still, if it does not work you can try setting options specific to the ORG (forums.totalwar.org) by right clicking and selecting “Edit Site Preferences” from the context menu. Same preferences can be set for *all* sites from Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced.

    Which version did you download? 10.0.1 or 10.5a?

    I think I found the the reason about the problem I had before. It seems that Opera (or myself) may have logged on to the .Org with an account I haven't used in a few years. I didn't spot it until today, given the fact that I usually don't have to bather with those things.

    I'm still getting the hang of Opera. I'll have to read up on it before it truly becomes better for me then explorer was. Any good info you might point me at?

    In what way was IE better for you?
    I use IE now and then but prefer Opera and FF by a long shot.

    Tabbed browsing has already been taken up by IE, so that's not such a big plus any more. Play around with opening links and closing tabs with mouse gestures. It's only implemented, rather clunkily, with add-ons in Firefox, and AFAIK not at all in IE. Also, get Task Manager up to monitor resource usage, and load up something big in Opera, and see how much resources it uses. Then minimise Opera, and check the figures again. For sheer efficiency of browsing, nothing equals Opera.

    Can you get Adblock for Opera?

    For the search, try: Tools -> Preferences -> Search.
    For skins if you are so inclined; try Tools -> Appearance.
    For help; try visiting `opera:help'. This causes you to be redirected to a http://help.opera.com (with a help page relevant to the version of Opera you use).

    Note that if you add your sites/search engines to the list in Tools -> Prefernces -> Search that %s denotes the search query: e.g.: www.google.com/images?q=%s is expanded to www.google.com/images?q=hello+world when you search for "hello world" using the keywords.
