Is Pinboards going to replace My Flow? From my understanding, the main difference between them is that items in Pinboards you can share with other people. Other than that, both functionalities are very similar.

As already was mentioned in developer thread (https://forums.opera.com/post/255523), there should be direct access to existing pinboards list in right click menu. Like it works in Edge for collections.
Also, in Edge it works for images, links and selected text. And this is correct in my opinion.
In Opera right click works only for pictures. When I right click selected text or link I don't see 'add to pinboard' option.

I think I've found a bug:
When I'm dragging a tile (inside pinboard) I see the weird picture which includes headers and other tiles instead of the single thumbnail (green arrow) I'm dragging now.

*And I didn't get it how to rearrange or sort pinboards
in Edge collections are sortable and can be rearranged by dragging and dropping

So you guys just removed the old wallpapers without the option to get them back? Brilliant. Truly impressed by the skill and ingenuity.

Why we can't search in google or other when we press : Ctrl + space . Now it's only on opened tab

@andrew84: Selected Text to Pinboard would be great, then we would have Notes.

@max1c: the new default wallpapers are so ugly. I'm gonna install an older version and extract those wallpapers.

Edit: never mind, they're gonna add them to the opera add-ons store.

@smnstrk No need, just download them from here:

Opera's old Dark Theme Wallpaper,

Opera's old Light Theme Walpaper.

I can't understand, why they are not on https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/ yet.

There should be more wallpapers in two versions, dark and light version of the same wallpaper for the automatical change when switching dark/light theme.
*And my many times mentioned suggestion. User should have a choice to select two own wallpaper which will change automatically after switching dark/light theme (two separate tiles in Settings in Wallpaper section)
Something like this.

@andrew84 I even tried to make my own dark version by editing already existing wallpaper. Just put dark filter on it.
