What can I do, please?

After working flawlessly (see my prior e-mail) I had to re-install 12.17 (some unrelated problem) and now my "send link by e-mail" no longer works right. Will not bring up the "send message" page of my Windows Live Mail (WLM) program with the desired URL already in place, but only brings up the WLM home page. I tried re-installing but it always does the same. I seem to have permanently lost the ability to merely use 2 clicks to send to e-mail instead of the now lugubrious "copy and paste" shenanigns. Can anybody help, please?

Otherwise I'll have to go wtih 26 but I so hate the new Bookmarks facility, particularly the impossibility of transfering bookmarks within their own separate bookmark folders instead of hundreds from all folders just in alaphabetical order. THat'sd ludicrous. Anybody know how to transfer complete folders with the own bookmarks from 12..to 26? Thomas

After re-installing Opera 12.17 and selecting Send Link by Mail when on a selected link no longer brings up my default Windows Live Mail Program's "New Message" window with the link already in place but only only brings up the WLM's Home page. Never ever had this problem before. How can I correct this, please? Thomas

Everything is now working flawlessly, actually better than ever. I fixed the missing search engines (Bing & Google) in my O-12.17 search window by copying, and then sending to my e-mail, the appropriate addresses on my Lady's laptop 12.17 search window and then pasting them into my own. I shall stay with 12.17 - a wonderful intuitive program. My thanks to all of you for trying to sort things out for me.

Oh, I also did "Reset Toolbar to Its Default". No affect.

Fooling around during the last few days (see above) I've lost my ability to "search", using Bing in the search window to the right of the URL bar of my preferred O-12.17. I've been to "Manage Search Engine" and re-did the title making it: Thomas' (and tried others), added the string and when I input an item in the search widow (properly aligned with the "B") it won't produce a result. I tried "Restoring" Opera with a "new setup" without result. "Google" has disappeared also. Any ideas out there as to how to restore the original "b" window to functionlality?

The page that was sent to mail disappears. The selected page goes blank, screen is white, and a new tab appears: "loading". Nothing happens. Clicking on it doesn't bring the page back, but the original tab is still up there and clicking on it does bring the page back. Ridiculous. I think I am really going to continue with 12.17 which still works fine and smoothly and gives one so many more options. 26 has been a huge disappointment and, as others have mentioned, it feels like a retro, pop update rather than any sort of improvement. Peace. T.

Thanks, Guys - I got the Chrome extension to work quite well with 2 clicks on the 0-26 site, but, strangely, it seems to clear the screen of the actual website when doing so. Yes, one can click it back - but this seems a strange inconvenience. In any case thanks for your inputs. Thomas

Thanks for that - but it's not the 1 step I was looking for.

Thanks - yes I did see this one yesterday but didn't pursue it far enough as I thought it only worked with G-mail. I'll try it again when I have more time. Will let you know how I like it. T.

The above comment went out in error - my apologies to everyone. In sum - I found nothing in "Chrome Extensions" to address the problem I initially wrote about: a one step URL transmission to my Live Mail program (as in O-12 via "Send Link by Mail" ), of a link, or entire web page. While I thank you all for trying to help, it looks like I will join many others in staying with 12.17 for its much greater flexibility (including the excellent bookmarks facility) - putting up with its somewhat slower speed and occasional incompatibility issues with certain websites. O-26 now really has no advantage over other browsers. IMHO. Thomas

Okay, leushino and leocg - or are you both the same? Thanks to you I finally gpt tp the Chrome Etension list and after perusing the endless items I still found nothing to help my oribinal requst: sending a webpage link or any opoen page

Thanks - I've got it downloaded and I see it in C:\ but cannot get the folder to open. Really weird. Any other ideas out there?

Thanks again - I tried your 2nd site which worked fine, but then, the 1st.site produced this reponse:

No search results for 'https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-link-via-email/ejdbkikfbnnhmachnnomjfgjbgkcnjkb?hl=en-GB'

Really appreciate your attempt to help and I wonder what went wrong when I attempted to follow your recommendations?

Thanks for your response - could you be a bit more specific please as I've not found an extension for this?

From O-12 we badly miss earlier "Send Link by Mail" on a mouse right press menu, from a web page, for rapid transmission of its URL to the open "New Message" of my default e-mail program. All it required was adding the sender's address. As someone who frequently sends links, or other selected web material from web sites, O-26 seems to require 4 steps now: Copy URL, bring up E-mail program, select "New Message" and then Paste. Does anyone have a better answer for 26? Thomas
