I just received a comment on a blog article on my site from someone using Opera stating that my site does not display correctly. Is there a known problem with Atahualpa displaying correctly on Opera? I don't currently use that browser nor do I have it installed on either of my computers. My site is muzzmarketing.com if that helps. Thanks so much.

Looks fine to me in opera 10.63
Did the comment just say "does not display correctly" or did it say more specific?

About opera, no need to install it .. you can use the portable version
and delete it after you're done when you dont want to keep it on your system.

Thank you for your reply. Glad it displays fine on the version you tested. I did send a follow-up note to the commenter to see if perhaps they were using a different version. You reference a "portable version" in your note. Do you have a link to that? Thanks so much!

We've been getting posts that say that Atahualpa displays badly in some smaller browsers we've never heard of (K-meleon, f'rinstance), that images are scattered randomly, that the rss feed seems to have some xml problems...I'm a techie guy but this is all a mystery to me.

We generally tell these folks to use a more mainstream browser, but is there a known reason why this theme doesn't display properly in some browsers? How much should we care about supporting browsers we've never heard of?

Well I just opened muzzmarketing.com in Firefox, IE 8, Opera, Chrome, Safari, and K-Meleon which I just installed and all displayed it properly.

My guess is there are other updates that have not been done, vestiges of old programs, viruses, etc. etc. on the computers of those saying sites are displaying improperly. I frequently work on computers where updates have not been done in months if at all because people are afraid of breaking something.

STB - you sound unsure about the recommendation. Did you use that one or was that just a general comment?

Used it and fully satisfied.

Rather than unsure, or shooting from the hip .. that was a tongue in cheek comment. But shows how sometimes things can be misinterpreted online when you only have typed text and not the tone of someones voice to go by.

Here is a comment page on opera.com forums, showing the portable opera@usb project has been running some 4-5 years already:

Thanks for checking the various browsers Larry. I really appreciate it. Now I got a comment from someone saying they can't view my site on their iPad. It looks great on my ipod. I would think it would display the same on an iPad. Here's the comment:

"Hello! Is it Ok if I ask a thing kinda off matter? I’m seeking to view this web page on my new iPad but it will not show up appropriately, do you have any solutions? Must I attempt and uncover an update for my software package or one thing? Thanks in advance! Jennine x "

Are there any known issues of Atahualpa displaying improperly on an iPad?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just tried your site in iPad Peek and it looks OK to me.

Thanks again, Larry. I will let her know...
