This is pathetic... a problem no one at Opera seems to want to address.

I've had Opera for years and I've had it with the "One day it works and the next day it doesn't".
I've had the problem every time a new version is available. So I load the new one and everything is fine- for a few days. Then the SPEED DIAL refuses to load.
And NO on extensions. It's just a clean, no frills, Opera 26 version.

I can pull off an item out of/off of Bookmarks. But no SPEED DIAL. It just won't load. It just sits their with a "About/Blank" look on it's face and that's it.

Why won't Speed Dial load?
It was fine the day I installed v26. And the following day it started doing the Opera Jam Dance again.

Why doesn't opera open pages in my speed dial? This has gone on for days! Dumped cache and everything. Nothing.
It just spins and never opens up the page(s). IE opens every one of this almost instantly. Opera 23- no updates available.

Please help. THX

PS: This is a recent event with nothing being changed or added on my side. It's as if Opera decided on it's own, to stop working.
Oddly, it will work fine one min and then fail altogether the next.
I'm sick of it.
It did the same thing a few years ago. That's when I installed another browser.
I'm just about ready to leave Opera behind once and for all.
