Where to find more help
If none of the help sections help you to solve your problem, or you are receiving error messages you do not understand, you can ask in the forums, IRC, or contact us, but before you do we have some general guidelines which may help you to find an answer or to post your question in the correct section.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of Opera.
Do a search before posting. Your question may have been asked before, and an answer may already be available. Give a brief summary of the problem in the subject header of your post, to make it easier for others to find your thread and contribute.
Be specific and to the point. 
Remember to include all relevant information. Describe the problem briefly, but completely. Include the full error message (if any). If you are having problem with a Web page, include the exact URL and explain what the problem is and how to reproduce it. List your operating system, system specs (CPU, RAM, etc.), and so on.
Report back to us if your problem has been solved. If the problem is solved, no matter who solved it, report the solution back to the same thread you posted the problem in! Other people will most likely benefit from this information.
Remember that there are real people behind the usernames in the forum. Treat them with respect, and you will be treated with respect.
