      Opera 12 had a tab management section is settings. Opera 26 doesn't seem to have this. Is there some way I can get Opera 26 to automatically switch to the new tab, when I click "Open link in new tab"?

      Thanks all;
      Artie

        Currently you have to install an extension to do that. I use an extension called TabsPlus. First you'll need one other extension, if you don't have it as of yet. You will need the "Download Chrome Extension". https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/
        This is need to download google chrome extensions from the web store. Once installed go to
        https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabsplus/nikomkkhhpfoeamojhhgpfkpkdlfhfii?hl=en
        to download the tabsplus extension. After it is installed, go to tabsplus options and have it open new tabs in the foreground. By the way, clicking on the mouse wheel on the link is the same as "Open link in new tab"

          Classic Tabs also works pretty well.

            Thanks guys for the speedy response. That did it. On one hand, it's too bad we have to jump through these hoops. On the other hand, it's nice that we have the hoops to jump through.
