Anyone here use the browser Opera? Got some questions

[Ofuh]

Hey got a couple questions to anyone here that may use Opera, thanks for any answers.


First of all, one annoying thing I noticed, you can't click and drag stuff to your computer. Say for example I want to save a picture to my desktop I have to actually right click and save it, I can't just click and drag it.

Is there a way to change this?



Periodically, things will not load anymore (images, backgrounds, funky fonts, videos, flash, etc) and I have to delete all my browsing history for it to be able to load again. I assume the space gets filled so there's no room for anything anymore.

I've looked around, but haven't found a way to increase the space available to browser history. Is there a way to change it. Is it posssible it be another problem?



I think opera is a great browser. But it's user-friendliness isn't the best..

No. click and drag saves the page.

It is actually a RAM problem (where it uses RAM to store the history causing the internet to time out.)

Ctrl-Left Click to save images, and set your download folder to %userprofile%\Desktop

Tools > Preferences > Advanced > History and look at your disk cache settings. It's not the problem though, the cache will "roll over" when it's full, just like any other browser. It's probably something with how often the browser checks for updates to cached files.

Don't worry about not being able to click and drag, I havn't done that for years (except for dragging an image into MS Word or something). You get used to the right click and save, it just takes me a matter of 2 seconds usualy.

As for not loading, try refreshing page, if not, then it's probably not the browser.
