Timothy -
Thanks! Hah ... I use Opera frequently and know about the auto-refresh
enabling feature but forgot about the setting to turn that off.
By the way, your "30-days" site is quite nice - I've been an Opera user
since v3.6 and would have a hard time limiting myself to a list of 30
reasons to use Opera.

Opera has one

UNcheck 'Enable automatic redirection'
Opera also gives the user the ability to auto-refresh a page if they want
to, at a time period defined by the user (or they can choose one of the
presets). Simply right click on a page and goto "Reload Every"

I talk about this feature on the last day of the "30 Days to Becoming an
Opera Lover" series, which you can find at

Must be all that misspent time in Other Browsers ;-)

Several days have more than one reason to use Opera ;-)
Other than firing up Phoenix every now and again to check some minor CSS
shortcomings, I find that I can use Opera for all the stuff I want to see,
AND it makes it easier for me to NOT have to see all the stuff that I don't
want to (*cough cough*FLASH*cough cough*)
Then again I am truly amazed when I see how many truly awful Javascript
laden sites there are, which frequently break in Opera.... but this, to me,
is a feature most of the time ;-)
For folks who are interested in accessibility issues, Opera provides the
best/easiest methods of checking your pages for accessibility issues... but
unless others are interested, I won't spend more time talking about it
here.
