    On certain web pages, mainly www.teamfortress2fort.com, all of the links show up in bright red.

    This only happens on some webpages, and I have not altered the font colors in any way. Anyone ever had this happen?

    Haven't seen that particular problem, but with Opera I have run in to sites which don't open properly. The last one I can remember was Voodoo PC. Opera and Voodoo hate each other! LOL

    IMO, Opera is good enough to overlook the occasional problem you may run across. I just use FF if when there's an issue.

    I have Opera 9.25, went to www.teamfortress2fort.com forum, everything looks fine on mine. Well, IMO it is still not quite up to FF/IE standards when it comes to compatibility. Other than for the occasional layout problem, Opera is a nice browser, I normally use it for browsing on low bandwidth connections (GPRS via phone or Dialup).

    No problems here either, I'm using a pre-alpha build.

    I just checked it with mine. No problem. You should try uninstalling Opera and installing it again. That might fix the problem.

    I use ver 9.24 but will try upgrading.

    Welp I upgraded...uninstalled...reinstalled...and it the links still stayed in red. Oh well, firefox works, guess that will be used instead. I don't know why it would be messed up, this is a brand new Windows Vista format. I reformated last night.

    make sure that ur Java machine (engine, runtime ...) is uptodate, get O9.25 while u r at it. This was a known issue at the start of vista and Opera. U can also try to turn off Java (in Opera preferences)

    cheers ...

    Before you go ahead with a reinstall, try checking the preferences menu, Advanced -> Content -> Style options - Presentation modes and see if you've got the correct author/user stylesheet and link styles selected.
    Just mess around with the settings a bit if you don't know exactly which ones to change.

    Edit: I could tell you which boxes to check of course :), but I'm on my way out the door - in a hurry.
