This is the most frustrating thing ever* - Apparently I'm successfully logged in, I can match the code numbers by scanning the QR code (it knows my phone is here) but I just can't get the blasted thing to connect - It's all unclear (and not like the ghastly glib video that's supposed to show you how because it doesn't show anything useful).
My phone just goes "failed to connect".
Can anyone help me clear this hurdle please? I'd be very grateful Many thanks.
*I managed to sync once a good few years ago but my occasional subsequent tries have been defeated again & again. I'm clearly not alone.

I'm not generally bothered with messing around with the cosmetics of programs, but I find the recent-ish Opera change/facelift to be disorientating at times, as there are no "edges" to the windows and the elements therein are are not obviously "contrained" .
Is there any way of changing this? Even if the pale blue background was darker, it would at least show up (tried dark theme but really don't like).
My Linux Mint desktop puts a drop shadow round windowed objects, so you can see the extents readily, but this doesn't happen with Opera, it's just pale or white fragmented elements on pale or white whatever's underneath and the boundaries aren't clear to me (yes, I'm old. Happens to everyone, bear that in mind... ) Are there any sensible solutions to this, or is it just a question of living with it (or changing browser)? Thanks.

Hi, I've just had another session on trying to achieve this - have never got it to work.
From my android, I scan the PC QR code and it says "follow the instructions on the pc"
but on the PC I then get taken to sync settings and nothing more happens. The phone gives me a 6 digit code, but I don't get an entry field on the PC.
I've been round in circles for nearly two hours now (pretty much the same as previous attempts - loads of time, no success)
I've looked at youtubes and read loads of responses here but still not managed to make any progress.
Can anyone please give me any pointers as to what critical (undocumented) step(s) I'm missing. Is it an Opera thing or a linux issue ....? Many thanks

@frmg Absolutely agree.
I'm only an end user, but the process is a maze of inadequate/incomplete instructions and basically not fit for purpose.
On teh several attempts I've made to sync, I've run out of time/the will to live before reaching synchronised nirvana and remain unsynched.
They should either abandon it if they're not prepared to put some effort in, or sort it out.
It's got me actually looking for an alternative browser, which is not appealing.

Linux Mint 17, Opera 41.0.2353.69
On some web pages (ebay, talktalk, western union - all big names), sometimes elements like buttons won't work or some fields don't show up.
Anyone else experience this? How to resolve?

Hi, Running Opera 38 on Linux Mint 17, 64bit, 16gb RAM

Recently I've found that on some pages, buttons don't work - typically a "submit" or other action button. (Yahoo groups "reply" & Western Union "Login" spring to mind)

If I do stuff - refresh, restart Opera etc, I can sometimes get it to work but not sure what the successful action is.

Any pointers to where I should look would be appreciated.
Thanks

System monitor show Opera using 100% CPU

Not fixed. Doesn't seem to have been a completely clean reinstall as al my extensions are still there disabled.

Thanks for that. Disabling everything didn't do it so I uninstalled/reinstalled. Definitely functioning better, possibly properly!

I copied the whole opera directory - which of the subfolders do I NOT want to copy back (potential troublemakers)?

Thank you for your time.

Thanks, I'll work through these although I have the same extensions (fewer actually) than in my previous install.

Two points: what are flags? and I'd like to keep my bookmarks, do I just copy yje bookmarks folder to somewhere safe, then reinstate it?
Thanks

...and (some, eg ebay) buttons are unresponsive, paste & scroll are laggy to the extreme.
I'm writing this on Chromium as Opera not functioning

LM17 Rebecca, i5 cpu, 16gb RAM, Samsung 250 evo pro SSD

In the last few days Opera has become unuseable with pages failing to render/hanging or taking far too long.

Any ideas where to start looking would be gratefully received.
Thank you

As well as (linked to?) the screen going black in an earlier post, I am getting a serious amount of "Page Crashed" messages to the extent that Opera is virtually unusable.

I disabled my (few) extensions - same, I updated to Opera 27 & still the same.

A year and a half later & I'm getting the same. Running Linux Mint 17 64 bit 16gb RAM i5 cpu with Opera 26. Updated to Opera 27 & still get it.
It is all but unuseable.

Linux Mint 17 Qiana, 16gb RAM, Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz. ATI Radeon HD6670

Upgraded to the new version a while ago (V26?) & it functioned OK.

Recently, on occasions, all the open tab content areas have gone black. If I shutdown & restart all is OK, but this is no way to continue.

I've also just discovered that one set of tabs are blank (white). In most cases, the System & tab bars are present but on one (of 3) windows it is all black apart from the page title at the very top.

It first happened when I had 90 tabs open + other programs & I wondered if it was a memory issue, but I now have 69 & nothing else running.

If I search for "black" anything, I've only found stuff IRO video/youtube, which this is not.

Can anyone offer any helpful advice please?
TIA

This is something that Opera doesn't seem to get.
Years ago it was ahead of the game with its Sessions, but it was always clunky & a PITA to deal with multiple windows.
To me FF has the best solution with the Session Manager extension & Session Buddy in Chrome is not too bad (now loaded into Opera thanks to some kind soul- I was on the cusp of having to give up on Opera).

You should be able to pick tabs to save, from any window. Ideally consolidate them into one window.

The 'save as speed dial group' just saves ALL the Opera windows to a group. What use is that if I want to segregate & compartmentalise my browsing? It is a huge productivity hit.

And my Opera 12 sessions - what can I do about them?
