Thanks on the ability to edit after you post -- even if the window is short. In terms of the forum, be nice to be able to follow a discussion, by receiving a note that someone has commented on what you are following. That's what we had before, but I can't see anything to suggest it's still there. Otherwise, it's hard to keep track after you post, of whether someone has commented on an item you were interested in.
Thank you on the extension thought for bookmarks, Pesala. I downloaded Tidy Bookmarks, and I think it might fit the bill. I'm still hoping for a context menu that lets me by right clicking on a web page, send an email link, or page. The extensions available are still very limited. At some point it might be good to have a forum group for just discussion extensions -- thought we need to wait, perhaps, till we have more of them.

Bookmarks is an essential function of ANY internet browser, so without bookmarks, funtionatlity goes to hell !!
As i say in the title, NO other browser has ever abandon users leavin them WITHOUT bookmarks no matter how many times they updated or redesign their product......bookmarks were ALWAYS there !!!!
IE - Chrome - Safari - Firefox - Avant - pale moonlight - lunascape
If opera is a good browser, yes it was and is as it concerns the way it works and behaves.......but no bookmarks for over a year now????? I think this is not only dissapointing, but speaks a lot about what those devs take seriously or not... they surely don't respect users, no matter how many have complained about this, and i have seen MANY of them who have every right to be furious about it..
A good name can easily turn to bad when u remove usefull features......Opera has just began to fall, cause not havin such feature the way u r supposed to, it's not just a detail.....it's essential ! Patience has limits, and those people there just crossed the line.Imagine how many users they lost by pulling this stunt. I still haven't got Opera back on my PC, why bother until its finished

Pesala, am i supposed to take this answer as a smart one? bookmarks from bookmarks bar is NOT the same at all
And who told u i want to have opened an extra tab just to switch to it when i want to go to another link? and who told u that i want my bookmarks in dial?
I really hate such answers, i didn't ask for substitutes, i asked for bookmarks the way every browser has it, not for alchemy. U may go and do tricks for your bookmarks if u want.I wouldn't bother, he is like that with anyone who criticises the O

If you haven't even installed Opera on your computer, you really don't know what you're talking about, do you. One might equally ask: why are you even here? Since you now claim to be using a browser different from Opera, why not go over to THEIR forum and share your wisdom? :-p

I saved about thirty important bookmarks and when I upgraded they got eaten. I got the addon that allows me to have bookmarks and each time you upgrade you eat my addon for bookmarks and I have to start over. Getting pretty tired of this.

doncolleyir,
that's a good argument for a bookmarks menu item (in addition to the personal bookmarks bar) to be part of the browser, not an extension. I'm using the Tidy Bookmarks extension. I would definitely be upset if a browser update ate
all bookmarks not in the personal toolbar. I haven't seen it happen yet, but you have me concerned.If you sync your Opera, the bookmarks, I think, are saved to the cloud. So hopefully, you don't have to start over completely. It's hard to believe there will be an Opera update, and no bookmark extensions work with it. At least
let's hope. -

It's really about convenience. I've enjoyed Opera from the very beginning and lament the loss of customization in the new versions. The bookmark bar is ok, but there is no convenient way to turn it on/off when you want the screen real estate. (Going to the settings menu is NOT convenient.) On my Presto bm bar, I have it set for text only and abbreviate the titles so I can fit most on the line. Even as it overruns, the older environment conveniently provided a dropdown for those bookmarks that wouldn't fit. The new environment forces a useless icon to hog space on every bookmark and there seems to be no dropdown when the bar fills.
It is the little things like this which made the Opera environment so useful, and I hope that the developers can appreciate this element of what has been lost.

That's precisely how I've long used the Presto Opera bookmark bar: no icons and custom text only, with most of my text titles abbreviated to just 1 or 2 characters. With that arrangement, I can instantly access any of currently 73 critical bookmarks (or bookmark sub-folders) by title and bar position without even having to use the dropdown. Many of the sites are 'technical' sub-sites bearing the same icons (9 with the same icons, in one case), so even if the icons were tiny (which they're not), there would be no way of telling them apart without having to mouse over them and carefully hunt for the right one by URL.
Even though I realize many users never go to such customizing lengths since they don't use a browser as a tool but instead more as a browsing appliance, I'm still rather surprised at the reaction from the various Opera devs last summer, who apparently had no realization that some users had so wedded their browsing techniques to many of Opera's unique features. Whether that realization had any effect in returning at least some kind of bookmarks bar to Opera, I don't know. But I do know that if a capability of nicknaming the bookmarks on that bar using custom text instead of icons were added, along with a dropdown/scrolling ability for out-of-sight bar bookmarks, the bar would again become considerably more useful to some of us. Many times the simplest, seemingly minor things can make a great difference in the usability of a tool.
This is one of about 5 such things keeping me using Firefox as my primary browser instead of New Opera these days.
