You can tell us a bit more about your setup (ID, Cookies, Javascript?)

And you can tell us what you mean by nothing happens

- does the mouse change when you hover over the link?
- when you click on the link, does anything happen in opera's status bar?

I click on More.
The following appears in the URL bar:

http://rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/fc/entertainment/art_and_museums/latest_developments/story_more/*http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=518&ncid=518&e=4&u=/ap/20021207/ap_on_re_eu/van_gogh_theft_7

By deleting the stuff before the *, I can get to the site.

Why does it put this stuff there?

It's redirection script. It redirects you to the news you want. Probably counter or something. Anyway, you would want
to check if Alt + P -> Privacy -> Enable automatic redirection is checked, and if not, check it.

No. Nothing to do with this.

I looked at the source:

<a
href="http://rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/fc/entertainment/art_and_museums/feature_articles/more/*http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid=34&lp=0&ll=b0&pg=1&mod=feature_articles&in=Entertainment&cat=Art_and_Museums">more</a></td></tr>

Why do I get this source when you get it without the stuff before the *http

So again. See the 'rd.yahoo.com' part? That's for redirection. When you click on this link, it takes you to exactly the
address link points at, and the server analyzes the query and tells browser to proceed to the page that happens to be
after the asterisk (could have as well been a fixed address, say http://www.google.com/).

To get this redirection working, you need to check the preference I wrote about in last post (Alt + P -> Privacy -> Enable
automatic redirection).

HTH,

I have explained to you twice that automatic redirection is checked. This is the issue. The redirection is not working!

May not be relevant, but did you say which version of opera you are using?

6.05 and 7

What can possibly be wrong with the redirection? Norton Security? Something in
the registry?

Win 2k, User.

I don't know about Norton - you could try disabling it briefly, and see if
that makes a difference?
