@gren Unless you install Opera using the stand alone method, your second installation will use the same profile directory of the old one.

Thank you for your help so far.

Where is the profile? Can you give me a clue? I've searched and it's not obvious to me. Sorry, Windows 8.1 by the way. Thanks in advance.

@leocg Thanks for the clue.

Renamed the profile and run up Opera again - that created the new profile just as you said it would. Noted that all login's and passwords had gone - could be awkward! However...

Logged into Twitter again and it's exactly the same. Twitter screen constantly refreshing.

@gren In this case i guess you can go back to your old profile.

@gren By refreshing you mean that the page is reloading or that the content is being updated? The last is supposed to happen.

@leocg The page is constantly reloading (flashing screen). You can't read it due to the rate of reloading. It's so fast you don't have a idea as to what it's trying to load. If left Twitter eventually shuts you down with some message saying you are flooding and to try again later.

The exact message says "Sorry, you're rate limited. Please wait a few moments then try again."

@leocg That is what is so annoying. It only started when I upgraded to the latest version. Can I go back to the previous version of Opera but keep all the settings?

When I say settings, I mean keep the stored passwords really. I need those!

@gren Just install the old version. Don't forget to block auto update.

Now there's a thing.

I was having problems on version 64.0.3417.73 and had given up on Opera completely and uninstalled it.

However I didn't feel very comfortable using either Chrome or Firefox so after 5 days of using them I downloaded Opera again and found it was version 64.0.3417.83

The problem has gone. It now works perfectly.

Weird.
