      Hey, so I'm experiencing a problem. every time I add a site to my speed dial, it always shows the text of the site. (eg. reddit.com) If you still don't understand, check the picture I added. Opera Snapshot_2021-10-28_001731_startpage.png

        @hellothere123 Use the heart icon on the address bar to add the page to Speed Dial and you will be able to select the image for the thumbnail.

          @leocg Using the add to bookmarks feature, the image I choose does not show but rather a plain "youtube" image.

            Goto the URL opera://bookmarks and move all problem sites in the bookmarks "speed dial" folder to the bookmarks trash. Then, empty the bookmarks trash. If those sites are bookmarked in other bookmark folders, move them to the trash too and empty the bookmarks trash.

            Then, go back to each site and click the heart at the right of the address field to see if you can now choose a thumbnail and have it stick.

            If that doesn't help, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera. Then, delete the "Bookmarks" and "BookmarksExtras" files in the profile folder to wipe out all your bookmarks and speed dials. Then, start Opera and readd all your speed dials and bookmarks.

              @burnout426 Thank you but the first solution failed...guess I'l try the second but this seems like something many would encounter and find a sure fix?

                @rlinbc For most people, the heart icon fixes it. (You must be visiting the site - the heart should be red when you click it).

                  @burnout426 I might add that the speed dial images originally saved properly but recently changed and only shows text on orange for Some of the youtube vids, not all though.
