>> Opera suppports the w3c standards more closely than the other browsers. <<
That's probably the problem! No, seriously there are some dirty tricks used just to get the site up and running - before a proper review to ensure it is compliant. Last time I tried Opera it was not displaying nicely - lines very thick I think (but does not occur on IE or Moz) - I was just warning in case I got emails from anyone pointing out Opera may look strange. Rightly or wrongly we get to checking Opera last - but it will displays correctly in Opera before it's in production.
