      Opera 18 missing three essential things, A and B and C:

      A. I can no longer paste personal info from the past personal clipboard like I could in other versions of opera.

      In previous versions of Opera:
      1. Open a fill in form on any web page
      2. Right click to bring down the INSERT PERSONAL clip board choices
      3. No clipboard is available.

      In 18, I expected that I can insert personal info like previous version. This is a BIG plus for me that no one else has as good.

      B. I can no longer drag and drop the URL into a folder of the desktop..

      Previously, I could:
      1. Go to a web page.
      2. Try to drag and drop the URL onto the desktop or into a folder.
      3. You get the BLOCKED ICON (black circle with line) that says this can not be done.

      In 18, I expected that I can drag and drop this URL like previous version. This is a BIG plus for me.

      C: Opera 18 Speed Dial can no longer be configured to have smaller or larger icons or have more or less than 5 icons across the Speed Dial page. Begin able to spread the Speed Dial across several monitors is a very important feature which gives the Speed Dial strength over other browsers.

      Thanks jax and Pesala for help and suggestions on where/how to put this post 🙂

        (Sorry if this should not be posted here, but I have searched for 30 minutes trying to find a place to post this. Where should this be posted?)

        The original thread was about the My Opera forum, not the Opera browser. Moving to the right place.

            If you look at the Forum Index each forum has a descriptive title telling you what topics should be discussed there.

            Feature Requests belong in the Desktop Wish-list.

            The current thread is a request for support, “How to do this in Opera 18?” so the Opera Browser forum is the right place for it, and this being the most active forum will likely get a response more quickly than the Windows or Mac specific forums.

              Me too. Insert Personal right click was a brilliant feature. Maybe not revolutionary but makes Opera user friendly. It saves me a ton of time every day.

              How can we get this back.

                  Insert personal is not present in Opera 20 here. I added an address in Privacy and Security, Manage autofill settings, but it doesn't appear in the right-click menu. Maybe it only works in special types of online forms?

                    That was for the old forums. Now, feature requests go in the Suggestion Box:
