That's good to hear. Thanks for the support. I will pass this along to our support team. I don't think anyone in support is used to being told that they are loved! > Here's how I read your .04%: > > Macromedia's marketing info says the site gets a million customers a > day. > > That article is here: > http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mmwebsite/articles/ > devnet_experience.html > > four tenths of one percent of one million (1,000,000 * .004) = 4,000 > customers hitting your site per day using Opera. > > So, is this significant to you or not?

I don't think Mike posted that statistic intending to trivialize the numbers. I think he just posted it to put the debate in perspective since there were posts earlier this morning claiming that Opera owns 10% of the browser market. 4,000 is clearly significant which is why we are working with Opera to get these issues worked out. We don't want anyone to be excluded from our content any more than Opera wants their users to be excluded from anyone's content, which is why we both want to get this issue resolved. I will say, however, that it would not have made much sense for us to design our new site around one little bug in one browser that constitutes .4% of our traffic when we are already working on getting the bug fixed.
