can someone help me with this?

I have Opera9 beta installed
then I installed Opera9.2

a very cool thing that they are both there together and one did not overinstall the other ... but - the 9.2 does not have an address box ... I uninstalled and then reinstalled as a clean install - but still no address box ...

of course I hunted high and low for how to enable it ... just the google search box is all that appears on the address bar ... what happened? what could I have done?

9.00 beta bld# 8367 is the first opera Ive tried ... on your recommendation in fact V, and I do use it occasionally and enjoy some of its features ...

then just a few days ago I installed
9.02 Bld# 8585 ... and thats the one missing the box, or I lost the box and dont know how to get it back ...

I didnt know there for a while that I had two of them on my machine ... so Im not sure how or that I even lost it ... Im just now sure, that its not there ...

Might want to grab build 8649. But right click on where your address bar should be, then Customize, then Toolbar, then make sure Address Bar is checked. I also really love Opera (but use FF almost exclusively) because of its tons of cool features as well as all those cool widgets! Course, it's got a pretty big learning curve for newbies. :)

In your customize, buttons, browser view, you should see the address bar there, just pull it into the bar you have highlighted.

there it was ... hiding in plain sight ... geesh ...

it said "opera about" on it, and was the same size as the google one, so I didnt try to drag it out ... I assumed it was just another of the many search specific ones that opera has ... but its the main one with the quicksearch below ...

whew - thanks as always V ...

My pleasure. If you want to go nuts with buttons, you should grab some of the TTT skins (I have them all, TTT-Paper is my favorite), you'll have a godzillion number of buttons to add everywhere. :)

Ill check it out ... so here in opera, skins are the source of buttons? in my fx Ibe been getting buttons from custombuttons extension ...

I dont have a skin in fx, except default ... because its too important to go messing with ... but maybe in opera I will then ...

Yep, in Opera the buttons are part of the skins. You'll go nuts trying to decide which of the few hundred to add from the TTT skins.
