All my bookmarks for opera have just disappeared WTF!


NOOOOOOOOO

I have a backup but when I import them nothing happens

I AM NOT A HAPPY BUNNY

Found this which I am sure you have probably already seen. Erm can you not do a repair on Opera ? I have only used it a few times, so not to clued up on it.

 

[TriplexDread]

Thanks mate made absolutely no difference

Waaaaaaaa

 

[EvanDavis]

Bite the bullet and re-install

easiest way, but not the answer to your problem

 

[TriplexDread]

In all honesty I was begging to think it was as crap as FF anyway

Its soo damn buggy its unreal

Might try Chrome

 

[EvanDavis]

Might try Chrome

Out of the 3 in all honesty I would use Firefox. I have been using FF 4.0 Beta 6 for a bit now and have absolutely no problems at all

A few days back I had created a thread with exactly the same problem so you might want to check it out here.

Linky


My browser of choice is now Swiftfox but it is available only for Linux platform, blindingly fast

 

[TriplexDread]

I have checked the .adr file

There is absolutely no record of any bookmarks being stored in it either, even my backup one
It's like something has searched for them and deleted the contents

I am frigging furious there was a lot of important bookmarks there

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[nivrip]

I assume rebooting or System Restore hasn't brought them back.

 

[TriplexDread]

No mate absolutely nothing

What a big pile of steamin cack that is

 

[V_R]

Gutting....

I take it you have no backup of them. Or have them imported to another browser?

 

[TriplexDread]

I had backups

They too are empty. Opera was pointing to my desktop where the backup files were. I have opened them up and all book marks have gone

 

[V_R]

Oh so the backups have suffered the same fate as the ones you were using? That is odd....

Did you have the same bookmarks in another browser?

 

[TriplexDread]

No mate!

The other browser was FF which i was using previous to this but realised it too was a pile of poo lol

I did try importing them over it wouldnt work for some strange reason.

Ahh well we live and learn I guess.
Well some do!

 

[V_R]

I find it very odd that the backups have been 'emptied' too... (for want of a better word)

Was it a stable version or beta?

 

[floppybootstomp]

That is very odd.

I've been using Opera for several years now, never had a prob.

The bookmarks file (bookmarks.adr) in Windows is in Documents and Settings/Your name/Application data/Opera.

I periodically back it up to another hard drive on the same machine.

This file transfers ok to Opera within Linux as well.

Within Linux I just use the export command to save the file to a place of my choosing (which I suppose I could do that way in Windows as well).

To lose the bookmarks file within Opera and from the backup location is very strange indeed. Just where was the backup file stored?

Have you tried Recuva it found 100 pics that went astray on my pc .
