How strange as if you have turned the show sidebar slide control to off it should have disappeared but then again i still have the customise your speed dial still flashing on when i start up so maybe its opera not us

What I see on the speed dial page is something a new user might get that looks like part of https://www.opera.com/client/welcome where once you see it, you can click the x and you won't see it anymore. I suspect the OP here is experiencing the same issue but with the "customize speed dial" tutorial at the top of the speed dial page.

These are the setting that I have under the sidebar tab. I have opera on 2 other desktops and 1 other laptop (the browser was installed approximately 1 year ago on the other devices). The first picture is from my desktop where nothing shows up other than the small "+add a site" icon. Is the large message that now shows up the replacement for the small "+add a site" that was used in the past?

Ya and it happened just after you updated Opera. I updated mine two days ago and there are all kinds of changes, like the one you mentioned.
I also noticed like Chrome, they took away my bolded fonts on the menu bar and replaced all my fonts with ones you can barely read. -

Goto the URL
opera://aboutand take note of the profile path. Then, use JSONedit to open the "Local State" and "Preferences" files in the profile path while Opera is closed.In the Locate State file, you can try deleting the ab_testing object and rich_hints objects. In the Preferences file, you can look at the "hints" object. There are some things like "startpage configuration" that you can delete to see if that helps. There's an ab test object under "startpage". There might be something under "UI" that you can delete. Backup the files first though.

You have to make sure (with your heart in your mouth) that you dont save your user profile or details when you uninstall it -

we think we have the answer. You have to uninstall opera but dont save user profile or details when it asks which way to uninstall. Start from scratch. It worked for me -

Actually you dont. I uninstalled then downloaded it again and the banner was gone but all my bookmarks and settings were where I left them. Go figure -
