Broken in Opera 12, astonishingly badly. Literally no way to contact anyone of their team in any way (email, twitter) but through ello itself. Edit: It was pointed out that there is an email adress, though a very skillfully hidden one.

On Chrome, the back button wouldn't take me back here to make this comment - it kept switching between the first two items in their list.

  FF too. Same issue.

  Same here. Looks like their javascript is adding a lot of history entries so the fastest way to get back is to hold down the back button so you see the entire history list.

> Literally no way to contact anyone of their team in any way (email, twitter) but through ello itself. From the FAQ (https://ello.co/wtf/post/faq https://ello.co/wtf/post/faq) "How do I contact Ello? Ello is run by a small team of real people who are very busy building Ello, so we ask that you only contact us if you can't find help elsewhere. If you are having a serious problem, please send an email to hello@ello.co. We'll get back to you as fast as we can. Forgive any slow replies. We're busy working on Ello!"

  You're right i missed that. It was hidden too well. Amusingly it doesn't help either. Sending mail to that results in a google-ish auto-response that virtually says "yeah you're gonna be really lucky if we read this at all, and don't even think about getting a response".

Isn't Opera at v24 now?
- freehunter 12y ago
  Only the Chrome version on Windows and OSX. The previous engine (or the Linux version) is v12.

    > the Chrome version That's like calling Windows 98 "the DOS version". While factually true, it's utterly irrelevant. We're on Windows 8 now. And there is now a version of Opera 24 for Linux.

      I don't understand why you had to pour anger into your post. That version of Opera uses the Chromium engine, that's important to distinguish the old vs new versions... Perhaps the OP was simply unaware of that?

  Opera ASA had a management shift. The new management abandoned their old codebase (and users) to suffer the slow decline of bitrot. Meanwhile they took Chromium, repainted it, added 2 features nobody cares about, left out 99% of the features people used in Opera 12 and called it a day. Then to add insult to injury and cause maximum pain to their old users, and confusion to everyone else, they called the new software package Opera and gave it a higher version number, despite it sharing no code and no features with the original software. And, just because that wasn't enough, their new management forced employees to lie on public forums and twitter about how they were going to work towards feature parity.
