Used to have a button that would come up automatically next to any open tabs and if you clicked it a new tab would open. Well that button has f*cked off and I can't get it back. Any ideas?
Pause • Switch to Standard View Getting a new tab on Opera

tools,preferences,advanced,tabs,additional tab options (bottom of box) make sure allow windows with no tabs ISNT ticked,if problem continues could be corrupted simply uninstall opera then reinstall it this should reset it to default

Cheers, the box isn't ticked so Opera is goosed. I'll install it again.

any other ideas?

the problem could be it wasnt a complete uninstall,a lot of data is stored in program files and settings will revert from those files,did you uninstall properly and reboot? dont forget your favourites etc will delete on a complete uninstall

yeah bookmarks are still all there.

how do i uninstall it properly then? i went into add/remove programmes and did it from there. didn't restart my computer though.

deffo corrupted,it happens,only sure way is to completly uninstall,I would personally go into progam files (after closing opera) find the opera file and delete it (you may get a warning file is in use) if so reboot dont open opera,delete it from program files,then reinstall
Report Rocket to the FACE • February 2, 2010 5:25 PM GMT
still not working. did a search for Opera and deleted everything to do with it from my computer.

i've got another hard drive on this computer that i used to use opera on. would that be causing it?
Report ROCKIN HORSE • February 2, 2010 5:28 PM GMT
Yes it could,its refreshing stored settings from somwhere,it all pivots on a clean uninstall then all will be well
Report Rocket to the FACE • February 2, 2010 5:29 PM GMT

cheers for the help

nothing like a computer to do your head in when they go t!ts up,you'll sort it by elimination eventually good luck
Report ROCKIN HORSE • February 2, 2010 5:41 PM GMT
One more thing, (never use opera so new to it) click view,make sure tab bars are ticked (that sounds a winner)
Report Rocket to the FACE • February 2, 2010 5:52 PM GMT
yeap, ticked. no joy :(
Report ROCKIN HORSE • February 2, 2010 5:56 PM GMT
what happens is when you boot up one day,the data doesnt load properly and rewrites itself in a corrupt way (common) you can download ashampoo uninstaller (free trial,is good) it might shift it ,I have had this problem with software when I got the uninstall everything was fine on reinstall.
