Thank you ImportEarnest for your insights on this forum and this topic.
After reading thru many comments under this original post, I will just go
download Ver 12 which seems to be the most compatible with the
way I use Opera and may be the best for many others who posted
here also. Eventually the Opera team will either bring back these
functions or not and depending on whether they do that or not will
determine whether I continue my long run with them or not. I've been
onboard since at least Ver 4, quite possibly earlier.
To Opera developers ... my personal view is ... if I wanted Opera
to be more like IE, I would just use IE.

Oh ... and Pesala ... maybe you should just recline a bit more, you
obviously need to relax and not let what others post get to you so
badly ... I have a feeling doing this would obviously be a benefit
to your state of health.
