stanislavstratil, that is where I found the bump up to more columns. I guess I have low resolution.

lando242, yes, I understand. I was being lazy, since I didn't want to go to the Bookmarks sidebar. I have the same bookmarks set up in Folders, I just don't like clicking. I just thought the idea of multiple Speed Dials, like multiple tabs, was a good idea.

Or not.

It's supposed to now be available without having to take Programming 101, but it doesn't work.

Thanks, all. I'll need better glasses soon, but I came up with a solution that works for me, since I'm sure there are no updates in the near future.

I lowered the zoom percentage to 75%, and that gives me 8 columns (90% gave me 6), which gives me all the bookmarks I use on a regular basis. Although they are quite difficult to read.

I bet no one in programming thought a percentage that gave 7 columns might be useful, now did they. I COULD have used 7 columns.

The extensions feature is interesting, but I'll never be able to figure out an extension that will do what I want.

Whoa. I have no idea what you just said about 'other speed dials'. That's okay, now I know it is not what I thought.

Interesting about the extensions. I'll take a look.

Thank you, lando.

Thanks, leocg. I already have 5 columns, and 30 rows! I was trying to keep the bookmarks I use the most on a main Speed Dial and put the extraneous on another.

So the new Opera is new, but not improved? Interesting.

What is 'Other Speed Dials' then, under 'Speed Dial' in 'Bookmark'?

That should be the least of the problems. If Firefox wasn't even worse than Opera, I would go back. But it's worse.

How do I add a new Speed Dial?

The 'Other Speed Dials' doesn't work.

Neither does (as noted elsewhere) the 'choose your picture!' option when bookmarking on Speed Dial.

I have too many bookmarks right now on my Speed Dial page to scroll through conveniently. No, I don't like your folder solution. I'm using Windows 7.

I found this, but I'm not a programmer. Thank you.

Wow, that wasn't intuitive. So as of today, you have to right click in the background of the page you want on Speed Dial. Still don't like your stupid new design.

What I Dislike in New Opera --- everything. Which corporate dimbulb created the new version?

What's with the bookmark facility? Why does a page get bookmarked to the last file chosen, instead of to 'unsorted bookmarks'? If I WANT a file from the drop down menu, I'll CHOOSE a file from the drop down menu.

Oh, and today? You decided to do away with the Speed Dial choice that was available when a bookmark was available? What's wrong, the chimps (apology to chimps everywhere) couldn't program having a page put on Speed Dial (WHICH WAS AVAILABLE YESTERDAY) and be put in a file at the same time? I tried going to the bookmarked page, and the Speed Dial option wasn't there either. Where did you hide it? And why?

Seriously, do you geniuses think this is an improvement? I came to Opera because you weren't as stupid as Mozilla. Seems I made a mistake.
