We are trying to make it as easy as possible to communicate with us and the Opera user community. We believe a news server is a sound and solid way of keeping the exchange alive, and have therefore set up a dedicated news server for you. In order to post messages to this server, you will have to change your news server setting to 'opera.nta.no' as we are not using the public USENET which can be accessed through your ISP. The name of our news server is:

• General discussion forum
• Technical discussion forum
• (HTML) Page Display Issues
• Announce: Official Opera announcements from our side
• Beta users discuss current public beta versions.
• Bookmark exchange and other worthwhile links
• Buttons: Opera's User definable toolbar buttons and buttons exchange.
• Off-topic; for anything not relating to Opera
• Offline version of Opera
• Plugins: Plugin programs that work with Opera

• Italian language forum

These groups are ideal for support or other complex or complicated issues. Many users are there to help you, and we are also actively monitoring and participating when appropriate. We would really appreciate you using this service before contacting us with general issues. Opera users are extremely helpful, and will be delighted to assist you wherever they can.

Over time we will add more groups, providing you with more choice and a better place to communicate your ideas, suggestion, problems or gripes.
