@leocg thanks... yeah eventually figured it out. pretty fidgetty. Should be simpler and clearer. Thanks for the reply.

I have an old laptop with a ton of speed dial folders e.g. sport, Finance, social etc... each containing links for the relevant sites like facebook and gmail in my social folder. I have bought a new laptop and have sync enabled. I can see the folders in the bookmarks drop down menu but how do I add them to the speed dial page. I've even tried saving as html and can import too but I can't find a way to copy the folders to speed dial. I've looked all around and it's all the same info. Im pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this and would take me at least a day to go through every folder/group and transfer every link manually. C'mon Opera there needs to be a simpler way of doing this as Sync doesn't do it other then copy the bookmarks list. At leat let me split screen and copy across from the bookmaks to the speed dial page or something. Anyone who can help would be greatfully appreciated. thanks
