First, both "Recent Headlines" and the Search for Unite users were on together and I switched both of them off without seeing which one was contributing to the download. Second, the usage meter is that of the ISP. I sacrifice a bit of screen real estate to keep an eye on it. |

Live bookmarks in Fx correspond to feeds in Opera. If you do not see a feeds entry in your menu, that will not take up network usage. Many other things in Opera can take up network usage such as Opera checking for updates, or if you have enabled Opera Link, that one can. |

I've already come across web-pages that "work better" when Opera is identified as, or masked as, Firefox or Internet Explorer.
So what's the difference between "Identify as" and "Mask as"? Since Opera provides both options, there must be a functional difference. I looked on the Opera site and Googled but couldn't find the distinction. |

Identify as IE or Firefox retains Opera in the UA string so a site that is actively trying to detect Opera may still detect it. Mask as has a UA string identical to that of Firefox or IE. |

Second, here's one site: http://selfcare.wdc.bsnl.co.in/irj/portal It belongs to a Government of India concern, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). This link is to the login page and throws up the error. On someone's advice, I had identified as Internet Explorer and logged in successfully, but subsequently I could do nothing. Please see if you have the same experience at least in viewing the login page. I also understand that the site uses SAP which has some sort of adverse history with Opera. I will try the mask trick and see if I get further. By the way, the site works fine with Firefox 3.6.3. |

Login issues will be hard to debug if the Opera guys don't have a login. So I don't expect this to be solved unless someone co-operates with them with a login id. (This seems confidential data so I don't advise you to. ) Best to use Firefox for such sites.

Then from within Opera, View > Styles > Manage Modes > Display tab > and pointed to the .css file on my desktop. I left everything else as default (I presume). |
