Three times in the past four days all of my Speed Dial thumbnails images (~100) show unloaded upon reopening 12.17, i.e., text only no thumbnail images. Opera really slows down while they reload. Any idea why this might be happening all of a sudden? Nothing I know of has changed. I use CCleaner, but that only clears Opera download history and internet cache. Thanks,

The Thumbnails folder is in AppData\Local. Here's some screenshots of all the CCleaner settings: http://tinypic.com/a/p7gr8/1. Btw, this also occurred in Opera 12 on my laptop a couple of days ago. I had copied in the current speed dial file, but it wasn't the first time recently I had done so.

If you haven't got a "Thumbnails" folder it is possible that they're not being stored anyway!
Do a Windows search for "Thumbnails" and see if there actually is a "Thumbnails" folder anywhere.
If there isn't, it looks as if your Opera installation has become corrupted somehow.

BTW this thread doesn't seem to be jumping to the top of the board when I post to it as it should do, I have no idea why.

Deleting internet cache and download history wouldn't seem to fit.

If you open up the operaprefs.ini file in Notepad, the profile path should be in there near the top, in fact usually the first entry in the [User Prefs] section.
Mine is "Opera Directory=C:\Program Files\Opera\Profile", but mine is a single user installation.
Yours will be a path to a Windows User folder if it's set up for multi user.
I'm very surprised that there's no "Thumbnails" subfolder in the folder you sent the screen grab of.

What is the folder actually called if it isn't "profile"?
Maybe it's only called "profile" on single user installations, but I wasn't aware of that.
There should indeed be a "Thumbnails" subfolder there, which is where your Speed Dial thumbnail images should be stored.

The profile folder path is listed as "Opera directory".

Check to make sure that CCleaner isn't trashing that folder.
