You might want to correct that to Opera 19 while you still can.
Thank you, Pesala!!

Thanks!
I found it tiresome to look through all the posts and forums to find this stuff. I don't mine using Opera 19 now as much as I did though I still prefer the old Opera with full skins and customizable toolbars.I do notice Opera 19 is working better for more sites, though, which is great!

I'm still looking for help to learn how to:
(1) Open new tab (from link) to the far right rather than right next to tab I'm using if I so choose
(2) I want to be able to do what used to be under Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads.
(3) I want to be able to do what used to be under Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Programs.
(4) NEVER reuse tab to open links. Open NEW tab any time I click a link, if I so choose.
Anyone know how to do any of these?

Have you tried Classic Tabs? It has a setting "Open all tabs at the end of the tab bar" which makes all new tabs pop up on the right.
http://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/?display=en
It also has an option to force Shift Click to open a new tab instead of window, but it doesn't work for me.
Side note: Anyone know of an extension to fix the address bar? I've given up on being able to ever see the HTTP or query parameters ever again, but it should AT LEAST let me copy an URL fully. I had to manually type the http onto that pasted URL above, for example. Took me a minute to realize why it wasn't auto-linking. :doh:

I believe that it does. Just focus the field and copy.

By habit I cut and paste URLs, likely due to cut being above copy when right clicking. I just noticed that. So the issue is with cutting. Would that count as a bug? Maybe I should report it.

Thanks, Pesala. Done.

It's not that either. Cut also works, from the menu or with Ctrl X. Try to diagnose the real cause before reporting any bugs. It's probably by design if there's a way to cut or copy part of the URL.

When I highlight a field now in the address bar, the entire address is displayed. Great!
The classic tabs works perfectly, GFREX, thank you so much!

Thanks. I'll disable some extensions and try to figure out whats causing it.
EDIT: Disabled all extensions and looked through opera:flags disabling anything it could be yet it still does not work with cutting. Both on Opera 19 and 18 and both by right clicking and cutting or just Ctrl X. Copy works just fine for me, though. Oh well.

Dang, I cannot edit my post.
(7) Make new tab from a link open at end of tabs OR beside current tab.

I'm sorry Opera team, but fix this shit. Pardon my french.
I can't find anything. Where the heck is Opera Link? I was completely happy Synching all my bookmarks with my Android device and Opera Classic, now you've turned the PC version into the awful Opera browser beta. Performance has improved but everything else has been messed up. Why would I install extensions and who the hell what else just to see my bookmarks? I just want to check them at a glance, well organised like it used to be, period.
I just can't bear this, I think im going to Chrome, Firefox, or even Dolphin.

(4) To get a Booksmark button on your Search toolbar: (where you can have ALL your bookmarks organized as you wish in folders and sub-folders)
Go to extensions and get extension:
Download Chrome Extension (https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en)
(this enables many other extensions to work on Opera such as the Home button and the bookmarks button, etc.)Then download:
Bookmarks Manager (https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/bookmarks-manager/?display=en)
This puts a button on your Toolbar for all your bookmarks (separate from QAB)
OK, I did those things, but I still don't see any bookmark button or my bookmarks. My bookmarks - about 4,000 of them - seem to have been imported somewhere but I don't know where...maybe the speed dial...
I just want to have my bookmark panel on the left like Firefox has it and like Opera always used to have it, but which Chrome doesn't, which is basically the only thing I don't like about Chrome. Is Opera morphing into a bad copy of Chrome?

Did you restart Opera every time it asked you to? You should see a button on the right of your address bar where all your bookmarks should be.
It worked perfectly for me and my hundreds of bookmarks are now all there.

Oh, I see there's a button on the right, and it opens up some sort of truncated "bookmark - manage and import" thing that apparently shows a few (?) of my 4,000 bookmarks, but unless I'm doing something all wrong this is no good at all for me. I just want my bookmarks to stay open on a left panel like they used to, plus Opera used to have an additional nice feature where you clicked the left edge of the screen and the bookmark panel opened and closed. Something like this is, I think, like Chrome, only worse, at least for me. I want my many bookmarks to be easily accessible without going through multiple steps.

Ah!!! Okay. I just wanted my bookmarks imported period. I never use the panel. Thanks for the clarification

Interesting but I cannot figure out how to import my bookmarks to this extension? I must be missing something
