    It’s just your broken computer.

    Yeah, I hit refresh a few times, but it’s still that ugly. :-)

    If you are talking about ugly things, then check your comment bar with Opera 9.5, can’t see all “popular posts”, because text area is too big ;-)

    Andy,

    I’m using other browsers as well, just thought to let you know that :-)

    Opera got ~0.73% market share (according to hitslink), that’s a lot of users, you know. I think that if this bug would be fixed, you could please millions of the upcoming or current MP visitors. Just my 2c ;-)

    @Vygantas – have you checked to see if you’ve changed any default settings? I sometime here the exact same issue from Firefox users, but it’s usually because they’ve disabled a formatting option.

    I don’t see the same result from my computer.

    LOL about the browser –

    That truly doesn’t look like anything Google would deliver – it’s good for a good laugh though

    Just opened up Opera and it looks good to me ;)

    not a bad browser actually – could use a few features that Firefox has made it impossible for me to live w/o.

    I do not like sitelinks. Google picked two random parts of my site that I don’t really even want to be that visible, so I had to nix them in my robots.txt file
