Hi there. I'm running Opera 75.0.3969.93 on Windows 10 Home Edition (installed recent updates today).

Until tonight, I've been able to download noncommercial videos from Youtube to my laptop to watch when I don't have an internet connection. Below the video, inside the red circle in the screenshot here, a number used to appear showing the resolution at which the video would download. Clicking on that number would start the download. Tonight I noticed I couldn't hear audio on Youtube videos in Opera, though my laptop's audio passed a sound check just fine. So I created a new profile folder. After that I could hear audio, but no longer could download videos because the clickable number does not appear. What could the problem be? Are we still able to download videos that don't infringe copyrights?

I didn't use an extension. I just downloaded Opera and used it after not having used it for a few years. That may sound crazy, but it's true.

Today Flash installed version 11.9.900.170 and since then, some Youtube videos won't play in Opera. They just endlessly show that rotating animation that is supposed to mean the content is downloading. Here are the three links I've found that are doing it:

The links work fine in Firefox and Chrome. Maybe this is an issue with Opera itself?

But thanks to the devs for a wonderful browser. I am staying as loyal as possible. I love Opera when it works.

Yes, Show Images in the Preferences Editor is set correctly.

This has been an issue since the moment I upgraded Opera and I am the only person using this computer.

I have changed no settings and no one has been near this computer to touch it.

I am also very careful about what I allow on this computer. No porn, no spyware, no warez at all. Nothing remotely questionable because I just don't want the hassle of dealing with it. I check it regularly to see what processes run in the background. The problem is coming from Opera itself and it's very frustrating.

Thanks, Pesala, for your attention and advice, though. And I would be grateful to hear from anyone else on this issue because if I don't fix it I'll just have to walk away from Opera, which I've been using for many years now.

I had never enabled extended shortcuts. This lack of images was with Opera right out of installation, so I did try shift-i and nothing happened. I would be grateful for any help because I've had to migrate to another browser completely. Opera is unusable because so many options in webpages depend on icons...

Please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place. I downloaded Opera 12.16 and it displays no images whatever. No Recaptchas, no forum icons, not even the buttons in the forum topic window that allow you to format text or add links, photos, etc. I can't even tell if i'm posting this question in the right place. I've hunted through Appearance and Settings and can't find a solution in either. I've searched the Net and not found an answer that I can read. I would be very grateful for any help with this issue, because Opera is unusable now.
