RE: [WSG] Not a Good Impression
My apologies, let me describe my experience with it further: In Opera 9.1, loading and executing the url produces an addition to the address: /error_msg/unknown_browser.cfm The "Unknown or Untested Browser/Operating System Combination" page opens. Clicking the "Text Only Version" hyperlink produces an "Object Instantiation Exception" dialog box. Clicking the "Enter the full graphic version (Internet Explorer comp. mode) and (mozilla comp. mode") hyperlinks produces the web page, but also with the misaligned top nav as you also see it.

Obviously it saw the "MSIE" that Opera includes in its default User Agent string and decided to charge ahead with the IE version. Bloody amateurs.
