Stng84, за тексты можно не беспокоиться, всё равно они сохранены в Веб-архиве. Вот пользовательские JS и прочие файлы погибнут. :(

Stng84, the texts do not worry, they are still saved in a Web archive. Here is the custom JS and other files will perish. :(

[Stng84]

Blogs is not problem... It's possible to download whole blog's content (userjs, images, configs etc,)

But i have a problems with forum archiving :(

[srgloureiro]

Yes! +50 for this!
When I will go visit my homeland (I predict it will happen before the March month), I will search an old computer for skins!
I remember I installed a lot of skins in that computer!

@Stng84: this is a great idea, one that I had hoped to do myself but haven't yet had time (and don't currently have access to the computer I'd like to do it with). Have you figured out a way to do it efficiently (e.g., all at once for each blog?) If so, I'd appreciate any tips/suggestions you might have.

I wonder if you would be willing to consider 7-Zipping all you've downloaded into a sngle archive file and uploading it somewhere for me and others to download?

[vlad-ivanov-name]

I've downloaded some of opera community themes. After looking inside theme download page at web.archive.org, I've found that themes can be downloaded using the following link:

http://my.opera.com/USER/skins/get.pl?id=ID,
where USER is uploader's username and ID is a file id. Fortunately USER changing doesn't do anything, so I made a simple bash script:

#/bin/bash

for i in {0..9000}
do
   wget --content-disposition http://my.opera.com/user/skins/get.pl?id=$i
   sleep 1
done

Why 9000? I haven't find any themes with greater ID on web.archive.org. Someone may try to download 9000..11000 range, for example.

Some files were missing, and there were a lot of trash like random pictures, broken archives, etc. Here is what I got after doing some cleanup:

./old_opera_skins (106 files)
    contains skins for Opera 6 (maybe 7, I don't know. Some skins look really ancient)
./opera_skins (1500 files)
    archives that contain skin.ini file were interpreted as Opera 9/10 skin
./widgets (1700 files)
    for some reason some IDs return widgets instead of skins
./symbian_themes
    these are symbian themes, I don't know if they're somehow related to Opera. I think they aren't.
./unrecognized_trash
    guess what!

1000 files doesn't mean 1000 skins — one skin can have different versions and duplicates are possible.

@gdv22 I am using program called "Offline Explorer" (Trial version) with my own set of downloading rules.
Yes, i have plans to share the entire content with public (later). I just need more URLs.

[lollox]

@Stng84
I'm trying the "Offline Explorer" too but I'm not sure all is going well... Actually for the Desktop team blog I've download about 500Mb of data and it says there are still 11.000 files in queue .... If you've yet downloaded it, can you tell me if this is correct and what to expect as final result?

Thanks in advance :)

[vlad-ivanov-name]

@lollox I'd suggest you to set up cygwin (it looks like you're running Windows) and use wget or curl; these programs have a rich set of functionality that might be useful for "dumping" wesites.

I've shared my backup of the entire My Opera forums here:

http://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?topic=69.0

(post IDs over 15 million are still being added)

Also see http://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?topic=183.0

@resetnow Thank you so much; I didn't realize the skins were still around.

[lollox]

The entire content of my.opera forums? O_o ... how much space it takes?

[Frenzie]

Not so much. It's all text.

[Frenzie]

The last little bit is now up.

[srgloureiro]

I am still using Opera 12.16. Please, where can I get extensions for it? I am seeking for the text field auto-complete extension.

[Frenzie]

They still exist on the extensions site. However, they don't seem to be clearly delineated. Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

It is not directly regarding this topic but if someone is looking for Turkish My opera forum content, here is backup archive.

@Frenzie: Yes, THANKS! When I saw "Supported Chomium" in the Changelog section of that page, I taught it was only for Chropera, but I tested it and it really works in 12!

Seems to me there is a bit of intentional confusion in the Opera site, for demotivating people out of Opera 12.

[Frenzie]

@srgloureiro Actually I missed that. But I've changed at least one of my own scripts away from opera.addEventListener to more generic GreaseMonkey. That being said, some uses are just inconceivable without Opera UserJS.
