Do apt-cache policy grase-www-portal to see if it actually picks it up. It
won't offer it as an update if it can't satisfy dependencies, which is
certainly what's happening due to smarty3. Can you pull the smarty3 package
from 12.10 or something?

Whoops, fixed.

I've added a popup under the successful login message. Not sure how to best
do that, I've done lots of work on just the look of the initial login, not
as much work on the after login.

I've been trying to remove as much "clutter" as possible. You can add
things back in via the portal customisation section in the admin. However,
it might be good to make that one an easy toggle on off to show the
bookmark link.

Not sure why it's not working for you. Is that mobile or desktop Opera? I
just tried Opera in windows and that appears to work fine.

Thanks for the initial feedback. New build is currently being uploaded. It
may be useful for all future feedback to let me know the installed version
you are on, as it's now so easy for me to do a build, I'm building more
often. (just apt-cache policy grase-www-portal is enough)
