I just leave plugins disabled in Opera (along with JavaScript, Java, animation, iframes, etc.) unless it's a site I trust enough to enable them. You can't enable/disable specific plugins, but you can enable/disable plugins on a site-by-site basis.

Can anyone I explain why I get a login prompt for imaginatorium.org everytime I visit this thread by clicking a link in an email notification?
 As you can see in the task bar I have no other browser windows open.  No, I'm not joking. It isn't a montage. |

QUOTE(pandy @ Sep 21 2006, 06:54 AM)  Can anyone I explain why I get a login prompt for imaginatorium.org everytime I visit this thread by clicking a link in an email notification? I can't remember seeing that before, but now I noticed it on another forum where an image was hotlinked. Could it be some anti-leech scheme in play (but PW-protecting a image seems a bit drastic of the image owner)? Or has something in IE6 changed suddenly? |

I guess he put his avatar in the wrong directory.
 I had scrolled the avatars off the window and I saw nothing in his single post that could cause this so I was really confused. Didn't occur to me that he could use an avatar since I hadn't noticed one before. |

Didn't occur to me that he could use an avatar since I hadn't noticed one before. Can't understand the last sentence. It was just that I was using random images to replace the pie chart things that my web server stats analyser thingie is supposed to provide but doesn't for some reason, and therefore this (irrelevant) file just happened to be in a password-protected directory.
