Is Opera Hanging or Has Gone Slow?

Has your Opera browser gone slow all of a sudden or started hanging? Does it take a lot of time for a page to open? Well, there isn't much to it. All you need to do is to change your browser settings a little for it to function, just like it used to before. And this is what you need to do:

In your address bar, type: opera:config and hit enter.

The browser page that would open is titled "Preferences Editor". In there, click on "Performance"

In the "Performance" area, for the following, change the figures to: Max Connections Server: 16 Max Connections Total: 64 Network Buffer Size: 32 Reduce Max Persistent HTTP Connections: Uncheck the box Click on "Save"

Next, go to "Tools" menu, and select "Preferences"

In the "Preferences" window, under the "Advanced" tab, in the "Browsing" section, for the "Loading" select "Redraw instantly" from the drop down menu and click on "OK"

Problem Viewing Pics on Imageshack

Incase you are unable to view the pictures that you have uploaded on Imageshack on your web browser, this is the solution for it. The solution given here is for Firefox and Opera users, but the problem still persists for IE users.

FOR FIREFOX BROWSER:

Open the Firefox browser and in the address bar type: about:config Press Enter

You would probably get a certificate stating: This might void your warranty! You can ignore that message this time and click on the button: I'll be careful, I promise!

The following page would open up:

In the filter box, below the address bar, type: network.http.sendRefererHeader and press enter. The details of the preference name network.http.sendRefererHeader would open and the remaining entries vanish, which makes it easy to work through.

Double-click on that entry and change the default value which is given as 2, to 0 (zero).

Now u can view the images posted on Imageshack with your firefox browser.

FOR OPERA BROWSER: Its a single step. Open the Opera Browser, press F12 and disable "Send Referrer Information"
