Opera Issue

Wolfy,

When I use opera and go to yahoo.com it brings me to some lame mobile link,

http://m.yahoo.com/?.tsrc=yahoo&mobile_ ... fault=true

Yet when I go to yahoo on Firefox, I get yahoo.com

What gives?

This doesnt happen when I go to yahoo.com using opera on Windows

Hi,

if you look at the bottom of that page, it gives you an option to show a regular web page, it is a gimmick for mobile apps or something, click on the button at the bottom for a normal page!.

Regards Wolfman

Hi there vdamus,

All browsers have a user-agent string that tells websites how to format the page. It sounds to me like you might need to alter yours to reflect a desktop browser and not a mobile one. Here are some instructions on how to see and change Opera's user-agent string.

Btw i still cant fix the Yahoo Mobile Browser thing in Opera.

When I go to yahoo using Opera, it gives me a mobile version of the site and Wolfy said at the bottom of the page there was

an option to turn it off but so far I can't find it. If anyone has a screen shot to show me where that might be to make it idiot

proof that would be great.

Thanks

Now when I use Opera I just go to the bookmarked link below and no longer have to deal with the Mobile Page for Yahoo

Hi,

they changed the format slightly so what you should do is click on the Yahoo Home symbol at the top of the page and it will take you to the normal Yahoo homepage.
