@DeeBeeEff Aria was replaced by Opera AI.
Don't know why the button doesn't work for you. What Opera do you use?

Hi!
I was using Opera that had an Aria button on the left sidebar.
At the bottom of the flyout section for Aria was a link to upgrade to Opera AI.
So I did that.
My Aria on the sidebar disappeared and then the annoying one on the upper left appeared.
After that, I checked to see if I needed updates, and I did.
Then I followed the "news" page you sent me to and there was a download link there, so I downloaded that, which I think was what I already had.
So here is what I have:Opera One(version: 124.0.5705.65)
Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System:Windows 11 64-bit
Chromium version:140.0.7339.249Thanks for your help.

Correction - New button is on upper right, not upper left as I misstated. -

@DeeBeeEff What happens when you click on the Opera AI button?

@leocg Flyout or whatever it's called from the right side, totally blank. Reduces the screen area. Creates a computed box size of 397 px wide by 100% screen height.
CSS only with no content.
Right clicking that space shows me two options: oddly one of them is for a plug-ing setting and the other is to inspect element (open the developer).
I did disable the plug-in to be sure that wasn't causing it, and it was not.
What is the button supposed to do? -

@DeeBeeEff It opens a panel similar to the old Aria panel, where you can ask Opera AI

@leocg There is no place to type anything. No text box, no icons, nothing.
Wierder still, when you search the settings there is nothing for Aria or AI. I only found out how to turn it off by searching Sidebar in the settings. It stil is in there to turn off, which is what I did, since the button placement is also annoying. -

@DeeBeeEff Right, something seems to be wrong with your Opera.
Maybe you can try a new profile directory.

I don't know what this means:
"Maybe you can try a new profile directory."
If it means starting out fresh and losing all my settings, I have been using Opera for years and don't really want to reset everything because Opera effed up their interface.
I also have seen where a lot of people hate how Aria now takes up screen space instead of being an overlay like it was before.
I did today load Opera update again to get a clean update, and the only thing that changed is the settings for turning the AI button moved in the settings.
So I take it from all of your talk that there is no way for me to go backwards?
Thanks again,

@DeeBeeEff The idea is just to check if the issue isn't being caused by a broken profile directory. You can keep your current data and, if a new profile doesn't fix the problem, you can return to the old one.

@DeeBeeEff It's just a temporary solution, since the flag will be removed a while after it starts being enabled by default.
