How do I create a quick way to visit 36+ websites twice a day?

I visit quite a few specific websites more than twice a day.
Four are on speed dial, which is an incredibly easy to use UI. However the others are ...Right now I use the history pull down tab, but that's very time consuming. Plus, it keeps 'slipping' down everytime some other website is visited.

Is there a way to streamline this process?

Regards,
Robert

Save bookmarks in a separate folder and select "Open All Folder Items"

Or if you want to visit them in a more individual manner you could look into nicknames.

Thank you all.

I use nicknames now.

Is there a way to move a bookmark from one folder to another?

Open the bookmarks panel, expand the source and target folders, drag and drop, or cut and paste if you prefer keyboard shortcuts.

Sessions are another way to open many sites at once. Unlike bookmark folders, they remember the current position on each web page and the zoom level of each page.

Open Drag the link to the address bar to create a button. Click to open a local file; click and hold to open the session menu.

2nd attempt !!!

How to rename a folder?

When I created a folder, I dyslex'ed the title and found no way to simply rename it. Had to laboriously recreate the folder, then delete the mispelled one.

must be an easier way to do that.

Plus when replying to this thread, Opera didn't post my reply, just erased it with a blank screen asking me what I wanted to post!

Ah, there's the difference, Submit is BELOW the message [ Off screen] and Post Reply ABOVE the reply did something else.

Right-click on the folder in the bookmarks panel, and edit its properties.

Yes, found that out. Can only get to "Properties" by using 'Manage Bookmarks'

Can't get there from any other screen.

I clicked on Bookmarks, which shows all the Bookmarks and Manage, but is ok. I now know how to simply rename!

Thank you ALL. As usual, once set up, Opera is THE MOST INTUITIVE interface I have ever worked with, constantly doing what I mean, not necessarily what I asked for. There are instances of sheer genius in some of the characteristics. But,...setting it up !!!!

Now if I could just figure out how EXACTLY to move my links to new folders, I'd be set.

Ctrl+Shift+B > select the bookmarks/folders you want to move (you can select multiple items by holding the ctrl button down) > drag the selected to the place where you want them.

Didn't work ?!

nothing happened.

I tried going to Manage Bookmarks and that screen doesn't even show the items I want to move.

Which folder are they in?

If they aren't in a folder, then on the folder treeview on the left either click in the empty space below the list of all folders (if there is any empty space), or Ctrl-click on the highlighted folder to un-select it. Then the right panel will show items which are not in any folder.

All the items USED to show in the left hand panel, now they don't. ctrl-click on empty space always makes them appear in the right panel, not the left where they used to appear.

It's like the tree kicked down one notch and won't go back.

If you have the two-panel view, then only folders show on the left. You can use the View button to switch to a standard tree-only view (one panel, showing both folders and bookmarks) or a flat view (essentially, only showing the right panel).

Thank you everyone for jumping in to help!

Again, once set up Opera is AWESOME!

Just throwing this out here: you can open up every item in a folder in your bookmarks very quickly by simply middle-clicking (scroll-wheel click, if you have one) on the folder itself. It should warn you that you're about to open multiple items at once, though it has a shut-up-I-know-what-I'm-doing switch.

It also has a switch to set the number of bookmarks to open without showing a warning. Set it to 0 to disable, or set to a larger number than the default of 5.
