Hey everyone, I'm going to show you how to make the Posterous bookmark work in Opera - that the company claims to not work at all and presents a page to 'change the browser'.
Well, I won't!
Step-by-step picture instructions, so everyone can understand them:
- First, by using Opera ofcourse, go to the bookmarklet page and click F12 on the keyboard. When the menu opens, click on Edit Site Preferences (see pic on the right) and click the Network tab. The last step is to choose Mask as Firefox from the dropdown menu (do not choose IE - because Posterous doesn't work in it). In the end refresh the page by clicking on F5. Here's a picture:
- Then you should right-click on the
button and click on Bookmark Link like in the following picture and write a title (if you like) in the box that comes out.
- You should click Ctrl+B to open the bookmarks panel in Opera on the left and the bookmarklet you just made will appear as a bookmark with the name you chose in the previous step. You should then add it to the toolbar (any toolbar you like - I prefer the address toolbar) by holding Shift while dragging it with the mouse to the place you want. It'll appear as a star (or another picture - depending to your Opera skin).
- IMPORTANT! You must revert to the default identification as Opera on Posterous, for the instructions see the first step and the picture, and choose Identify as Opera from the drop-down list and accept by clicking OK. Then refresh the page for the configuration to take effect. We do this because the bookmarklet frame's links won't work with the FF identification.
- Click the bookmarlet 'star' on any page you like, the same thing you will do with other browsers and a frame will open which you'll use to post to Posterous :)
Have fun and use the first step in the instructions to ignore every page that says it doesn't work in Opera by masking the identification.
Cheers and thanks for reading me!! ^_^
ps. I wrote these same instructions to Posterous by clicking the Send Feedback button at the footer of the page. You don't have to report this, already reported by me and btw - really nice of them to add it overthere!
