@burnout426 It is! Both the manual and the detected settings work.

As an old timer, when a new version of operating system comes out, I am known to completely reformat my computer and reinstall. That said, there has been more than one time when the China thing comes to mind. Some of the features of opera and the speed dial are really like, so I end up coming back.

In addition to spyware, this bothers me too: I have never seen anything that was produced anywhere in the world that, when sold to China, did not become worse. And I don't mean spyware, I mean quality. Attention to detail. Execution.

True story: My girlfriend bought a soap that is . . . well, was . . . made by a very small company in the United States. It was sold to the Chinese, and in no time the quality of the soap dissolved as fast as the soap.

Story 2: I bought a dial–type stopwatch labeled with the name of a respected company in Europe. After getting three that simply felt too light, and the buttons felt cheap and would jam, the holder of the brand confided, "We don't make those anymore. That is our name but they're now made in China."

Sure, the actual hands-on programmers of most of Opera are in Europe, but I can't help but think the Chinese, even if they are not adding in back doors, are trying to drive down costs by driving down the quality of developers.

@hisnibs Still incorrect, with 74.0.3911.139. The times are correct. As I took this screenshot, it is Wednesday the 17th.

@burnout426 Thanks for the copy & paste; I use that in macOS Finder, but I never thought to try it here. And also for the info "the 'Speed dial' folder can only have one subfolder."

@burnout426 said in How to move a speed dial folder into the main list?:

You should be able to right-click . . .

Thanks, tried that, but it doesn't copy. Dragging and dropping is what I do, but I'm going to need carpal tunnel surgery after all that.

@DerSchlingel Thoughtful review, thanks.

@DerSchlingel Never heard of it, but I will check it out. Thanks.

@tlmurray As far as I know, your data is kept.

Thanks, but I must ask: Is that through experience? It doesn't sound like it.

I want to retire the email address I am using to log in and sync to Opera. The step to change my email is super easy, but the question is: Will my sync info be retained? I would hate to lose my nice Speed Dials. I can export stuff, but if I don't need to…

You offer ways to report bugs and security issues, but how about a place to report just one thing: That darn message, "Sorry, we don't recognize your browser?"

In the many years I've been using Opera, I've probably hit one or two sites where things didn't work so well. I think once in a while I'll hit a government site -- and you know how governments are always on the forefront of technology -- where the site really doesn't work at all.

So anyway, I'm thinking of an item in the help menu that automatically detects the domain, then presents the user with a small space to type a bit about it. It's not a place for long-winded explanations, but just a place to inform Opera that maybe they could contact the developers and -- I am trying to hold off laughing here -- that they would take care of it.

Note the folders "Jobs" and "State GA". How do I move them into the main Speed Dial > NewMac list? I can click and try to drag slowly but they don't move, and a right-click doesn't offer anything relevant.

It really isn't a big deal to just make some new ones in the main list, but still, how do I move them?

Thanks.

Suggestion: Speed Dials that fully sync

One thing I don't like about Opera's syncing is that it places the imported speed dials below (for lack of a better word) the top level of speed dials. In other words, after installing Opera on a new machine, I see the first bookmarks view as

== Bookmarks Bar (the bar is okay on NewComputer)
== Speed Dial
======== Advertiser 1
======== Advertiser 2
===== NewComputer
===== OldComputer
======== Speed Dial Folder 1
======== Speed Dial Folder 2
======== Speed Dial Folder 3
== Other Bookmarks (I don't use it, so it's empty)

I must spend a bunch of time dragging speed dial folders from the OldComputer folder into the NewComputer folder. I wouldn't mind if Opera were not so sensitive about the pointer. If I drag something just a few pixels away from my target, folders expand/contract/expand/contract, and my speed dial might go to the wrong spot.

I would like to see a sync that simply re-creates NewComputer speed dials like my OldComputer speed dials and puts them at the top level.
