@leocg Yes

Opera 60b, Win 10. Trying to copy my current desktop SD to my laptop O60. I'd like to either overwrite or add to the existing SD there (I can delete dups later), and preferably with the same thumbnail formatting as the desktop one, i.e., most of the Metro style thumbnails have been replaced). Someone posted the following instructions for copying at the destination as working for them:

opera://bookmarks
Other Speed Dials
Select the speed dial you wish
Ctrl + A on the speed dial page to select all
Ctrl + C
Select the destination you want, your phone, for example
Ctrl + V.

I'm getting through Ctrl-C, i.e., but when I click within the laptop's SD page and use Ctrl-V, nothing happens. What am I missing? Thanks,

The Speed Dial used to show images, such as the website's home page, rather than Metro-style images. When one has thumbnails of multiple groups from the same site, e.g., Facebook, it's not very efficient for finding what's being looked for. In fact, I find myself going to the thumbnails that still have images a lot more than the Metro ones, just because it can take so much time to find what I'm looking for (and there's no quick search). Any way to get Opera to show images?

@leocg Well, I have to give it to you, you've got me by a couple of versions. I went poking around and found the search field cut out. I'll admit not used to thinking of the SD as a start page (I wonder what percentage use it that way). Glad to hear the power code business is gone, as I never liked it (you can tell I haven't needed for a good while, as on my desktop I live on betas and haven't often done clean installs). One thing early on post-Presta and for quite awhile was that the visible maximum number of columns setting didn't allow setting a fixed number of columns; that had to be done via the power settings code.

P.S. Turns out that the Search field showing separately on a clean install is considered a bug and being fixed.

@leocg How long have you been around Opera? Not true on either count. I clean installed the current beta on my Win 7 laptop yesterday and the search field is there default, separate from the address field. And the Konami code was needed starting with about Opera 14 to get in power user settings to do certain things,. Among them, I know very very well that the speed dial would not hold the column numbers without it. If it's no longer needed, I missed the notice in the developers blog.

If so, where are the settings for combining the address/search fields into one and for making sure the speed dial layout is stable with six thumbnails across?

Is the Konami code no longer the way to the power user settings - or do those settings even exist anymore? I had to do a new install of the beta on my laptop today and wanted to make some changes that were within the power user settings, but now can't get there (speed dial, combining address and search fields).

Win 10, Opera 53b. At PayPal, when I click on the PDF/Print button on the upper right of the page, Opera is throwing up an Opera box with the following:
"127.0.0.1 is blocked
Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension
Try disabling your extensions"

My extensions are AdBlock, IDM, Chrome extensions, Privacy Badger, To-Read, Real-Debrid, Select Like a Boss and User-Agent Switcher. Of those, I can't imagine any being relevant except possibly PB, but disabling that doesn't solve it. I had seen this before very recently, though not sure if it was PayPal or somewhere else. The box doesn't prevent downloading the pdf or direct printing without clicking on that link.

What might be going on? Thanks,

@leocg - other speed dials? What's that?

Reinstalling the whole profile defeats the purpose of a clean program reinstall.

The problem I had, which led to this post, is that either copying the backed up bookmarks file back in, or the one exported before the clean install, didn't do anything. There's more to it and I haven't quite figured it out yet (was a whole lot easier with Presta).

I need to do a clean reinstall of Opera while being able to bring my 100+ SD back in, rather than having to recreate it. How is that done? Thanks,

@xirit32 Thanks, that works, although for many grabs I find the rectangle drawing style of the Snippet Tool easier and quicker.

On a previous beta, I posted on the developer's blog how cumbersome I find the screen grabber, vs. say Windows Snipping tool, unless what I want is very close to the default box position and the latter doesn't need much adjustment. Someone answered that it works more like I want if I "tried defining an area (outside that box) yourself." What does that mean (entail)? Thanks,

I should add that I'm using 44 beta, but doubt it's specific to that.

The streaming videos on this site have typically worked for me with Opera, but after doing a clean reinstall of Win 10, I'm getting this error video isn't encoded error. Flash player is installed. What am I missing?

The stream I'm trying to watch is https://eversport.tv/big-sky/basketball-womens/2017/3/11/big-sky-championship-idaho-state-vs-montana-state, but that will likely be under the "on demand" tab on the right by the time anyone sees this, so any stream will do. Thanks,

Thanks for that link. It's an interesting thread, even if it doesn't quite solve the problem. I'm obviously aware of limitations that continue to arise with Opera 12.17 as the world turns. Although Opera Blink has advanced considerably since the beginning of that thread, I still agree with the OP's sentiment, even if it's not wholly true anymore: "I've tried switching to new Opera but it is unusable with tons of missing essential features that true Opera had." As much as I would willfully switch to the new Opera full time, I've found the new developers (or perhaps their bosses) to be willfully tone deaf when it comes to basics of browser functionality. A most unfortunate situation, but one can hope that one or more of the alternatives in development pan out, while Opera 12 remains largely workable, though a touch slow. Only a couple of sites show the secure connection error and a few run up the cpu meter.

Opera 12.17, Win 8.1. I'm getting the secure connection error from https://www.billfixers.com/ and it's not clear why, as cache is clear and the site works with Opera 35, IE11, FF, Slimjet and Vivaldi. Any ideas? Thanks,

Just installed Opera Mini for iPad Mini 2 with latest iOS. Problems galore:

1. Open GMail from SD and first problem is that it limits choices to mobile site or installing Google something. I want the browser version of GMail, which I get via Safari, as I use browser versions on the iPad Mini as much as possible because they are better written and have all the Google options.

2. In the mobile version on Opera Mini I don't see a way to log out of the Gmail account and log into another (or just stay logged out).

3. The mobile version in Opera Mini also doesn't have the Google apps/programs drop down. So when I open an email link to a spreadsheet made in Google Sheets, Opera Mini shows it but prompts me to install Google Sheets to edit the spreadsheet, not recognizing that I already have Sheets installed on my iPad Mini!

I hope I'm just missing a lot, because otherwise this Opera Mini is coming off.

If this is typical of Opera Mini, then

Now it's ok. Wonder where that came from.
