I completely forgot I was a member of this forum, so I posted on Neowin. No replies.

I've never had a single problem with Opera until the last couple of weeks. No kidding!

When I visit the eBay homepage everything is fine with Opera. After a search my
vertical scrollbar is missing. This wasn't a problem because I could still scroll
the page with my mouse wheel. After awhile the wheel stopped working. The last
thing to fail were the page up and down functions on my keyboard.

As far I can tell, this is not a problem at any other website.

Going back to an earlier version or foward to a newer version does not seem logical
when the problem is confined to eBay.

After a Goolge search I was disheartened. There were numerous listings about scrollbar
problems with Opera.

While googling, I noticed there were many Opera plugins (add-ons, extensions, etc.).
One listed plugin was called "Slim Scrollbar." I was hoping something like this might
fix the problem I'm having with the eBay site. I don't know why, but all the Google
links for Opera add-ons were dead.

First, I apologize for not returning to this forum sooner.

I started with computers when they were built from articles
in electronic hobby magazines. That was many years ago.

My computer related posts are usually so complex no one bothers
to reply. If I'm lucky, I just overlooked something simple and
obvious. That's what happened with my "Go to URL" button.

g00g00 you're 100% correct! I found the button I was looking
for. It's now next to the navigation bar, where it should have
been by default.

I appreciate all your replies. Thanks guys.

For business and personal reasons, I use several operating systems.

I installed an older version of Opera that was compatible with an
old version of Windows. Everything works fine, but I immediately
noticed something was missing. There is no "Go to URL (or Page)"
button next to the navigation bar.

Here is an extensive list of buttons you can drag into Opera, but
I don't see a "Go to URL" button.

This button maker page is easy to use, but I can't translate the
results into a visible button.

Where can I get a basic "Go to URL" button, which is included by
default with all other browsers.
