Hi,
Elves have deleted all of my saved addresses whilst I slept! Is there anyway to reclaim them, or is all hope lost?
Thanks.

What happened?
One should back up certain stuff time to time. Did you?
What's your (version of) Opera?

Which version of Opera? Anything unusual has happened (crash, etc)?

Thank you, for your response.
Version: 12.17, Win 32
Nope, no "back up," ashamed to say.
No "crash." Nada.

Check your bookmarks path in Opera://about.

Do you have bookmarks.bak or something like this on your Opera's profile folder?

Yeah, I had followed the path first thing, but only to find a shrunken "4KB" file; nothing like the porker I left last evening.

No ".bak" (or the like) waits in the wings for the poorly prepared, alas. My best option Lies in "Favorites," mouldering in my seldom used IE browser.

Much appreciated attempts to help!

I see the writing on the wall. I'm left to serve as a caution tale for all those too busy to back up the evanescent 'Bookmarks.' Nice to serve a purpose.

Be well. Non Sum
