@seriousgigi History seems fine here, at least on Opera developer 68.

yeah when i was typing here it got fixed but i realized it displays too slow. i have i56500 cpu and 16GB ram but it takes too much time to load old history. you have to wait like a minute to load next 100 records.

History tab shows only about 60 lines, no more.

If I want to reach older addresses I visited before (this morning or yesterday), I have to use the search function. But if I don't remember the name of the site I can't find it anymore...

How can I display more lines

Anyway, on my PC, there is a folder AppData (C:\users(you)\AppData, this is a hidden folder, so you should make it visible (simple, google how to do so). Don't do this, and the next, when you're totally inexperienced or insecure doing things like this. On my PC in Appdata there's a folder Roaming, and in that folder there's a folder Opera Software, with in it a folder Opera Stable. There I found a file History (maybe the exact location may vary, so you might have to look around in your Appdata, however, of course, always in a folder Opera Stable). You might want to copy this file to some 'working' folder.. Since the bug is about accessing history, you might find your youtube link in this file. I opened it with a text-editor like Notepad. You get a lot of incomprehensible characters, but for our purpose just use Ctrl F to find 'youtube'. There will be plenty, but just glance at the link and see if the title of the video rings a bell. Search on untill you find what you were lookin for. When you find it try to copy it, or, probably easier, write it down and search on youtube. This mighf work (unless Opera stopped recording history), but I got links back from june. When you're done, don't save your file, and you might want to make your folder invisible again, it's a safety measure, to prevent you from deleting essential files, by accident or 'ignorance'. Good luck.

PS I don't understand the edit-remark.

Urgh, you can't edit your posts?

Anyway I'm an idiot for doing these things while sleepy, older suggestions based on history that don't show up in the history page, do show up in the search bar suggestions, actually. I tested it more thoroughly. So yeah, I guess history being hidden not gone is personally confirmed for me. (the suggestions stuff is kinda bad though, I can type in something precisely from a page I visited a day ago and it doesn't show up).

There was a link to the issue in Chromium above, I went to it but I can't make sense of it at all due to not being remotely tech-y. Is that actually the issue, it doesn't seem directly related? Can someone summarise it?

I lost all my history, but now it seems to be back.

Yeah, from my understanding, the missing entries on the page were just hidden due to a bug. They weren't actually gone.

One site I viewed several hundred pages on today isn't showing anything from it beyond today, on the history page. Everything in 'today', 'yesterday' and 'older' was from today (the 15th). This is utter garbage and is honestly making the browser unusable. I can't believe this.

At least I'm glad this isn't just me, a fix better come soon.

I downloaded a useful file but can't remember where from! I know the date it was saved so hoped I could look back in my history to identify it's source.
Unfortunately, it seems that none of my useage prior to 10th Sept has been saved. I was wondering if there was someway I could access this. I haven't deleted any history.

All the best

The devs are working on a fix. A change in Chromium broke things.

Thank you very much for posting this info

Opera if you don't want users to use your products, ignoring issues and letting your mods post BS stating that the users are expecting far too much, is a perfect way to lose users.

Either start to fix your products or watch people choose other browsers, Firefox does exist for a good reason.

If you are expecting history from over a month ago, forget it

Why? Other browsers have no issue with this. Regardless of how many days it used to be a long history and never limited to only a day or 5 regardless of how many sites and pages I visited.

Regardless of exactly how many days / pages it should or should not store, is there going to be any official response to this as all I can see is "Topics Merged" when this thread has been going since June and it's now late August?

It's hardly a history when it only covers a few entries and then deletes everything else.
