Effective to redirect links, I recomended

The Options page was a completely empty black page; showed up after disabling "general.css", but all captions were placeholders like "[:Operation::ShortcutKey::RequireKey:]". The interface was not intuitive, the help links redirected to empty MyOpera forums and the webpage was in Japanese with no English option. An absolutely shoddy piece of work, and I couldn't even get to the actual functionality it supposedly gives!
