History Page is broken: Old history not displayed

I've been having this problem for the last few days and it's really, really annoying. Suddenly all my previous history is constantly overwritten and even clicking the "older" text still only shows today's history.
I've now lost some semi important pages I needed and had forgotten to save to either speed dial or bookmarks because Opera no longer allows my to view older history.

@jaknet I just found out Opera deletes my history everytime I close it. When I close it suddenly asks if I want to close several tabs at the same time. It never asked before. Strange thing, for specific tasks I use Firefox. That browser I set to deleting history at closing, but not Opera, I even can't find a setting ordering to do so. It is indeed very annoying.

I am using opera browser for long time. I have noticed that, previous browsing history is being deleted automatically. What is the reason? Can anyone explain please? Thanks in advance. And can I get back the history that is deleted automatically?

If you are claiming that Opera keeps no history at all, that is not normal (though private windows forget history when closed). If you are expecting history from over a month ago, forget it - mine seems to have about 5 days. though it may depend on how many sites you visit a day.

@sgunhouse Mine used to keep it for far longer. I purged it regularly to remove 'useless' entries, like google searching, searching in webshops and google maps.

Why? Other browsers have no issue with this. Regardless of how many days it used to be a long history and never limited to only a day or 5 regardless of how many sites and pages I visited.
Regardless of exactly how many days / pages it should or should not store, is there going to be any official response to this as all I can see is "Topics Merged" when this thread has been going since June and it's now late August?
It's hardly a history when it only covers a few entries and then deletes everything else.

@jaknet Someone clearly messed up. And they have no clue about the issue nor the development process in this.

I noticed that the story appears if the scale of the express panel is 100%. If the scale is different, then the story is visible in two days.

@zauberfritz It's sickening how nothing happens and there's no sign that Opera even gives a flying f... about their users, as shown by not a single reply by Opera in the 2 months that this is consistently going on apart from mods merging threads and mods posting complete BS about how long a history should contain items for.
Opera if you don't want users to use your products, ignoring issues and letting your mods post BS stating that the users are expecting far too much, is a perfect way to lose users.
Either start to fix your products or watch people choose other browsers, Firefox does exist for a good reason.

@jaknet I agree it's a strange degree of neglect. It's a crucial and serious, privacy-sensitive function, not some fancy gimmick for the easily bored.

The devs are working on a fix. A change in Chromium broke things.

@jaknet it seems to work again. I can see history from june again. Didn't check fully yet, but not as broke as it was. And data not gone, apparently.

Hi all,
I downloaded a useful file but can't remember where from! I know the date it was saved so hoped I could look back in my history to identify it's source.
Unfortunately, it seems that none of my useage prior to 10th Sept has been saved. I was wondering if there was someway I could access this. I haven't deleted any history.All the best

@clhughes As far as I understand, the problem was accessing the history, not recording it. Mine works again. Maybe updating you version will help? I lost all my history, but now it seems to be back. But I didn't check for completeness. If your filename is rather unique, you might try to google for it.

I'm on the latest version (63) and I have the same problem. I can't see history before Sept 10th, which is really annoying because I wanted to find a youtube video I saw a bit over a week ago. In the search bar, when I type things in, no suggestions based on websites I visited before a few days ago, show up either.
One site I viewed several hundred pages on today isn't showing anything from it beyond today, on the history page. Everything in 'today', 'yesterday' and 'older' was from today (the 15th). This is utter garbage and is honestly making the browser unusable. I can't believe this.
At least I'm glad this isn't just me, a fix better come soon.
