I get the wrong web page appearance when I got to http://about.com

For example, this page

http://movies.about.com/od/awards/tp/Best-Actors-2009.htm

is displayed like this

http://bayimg.com/image/dajdaaace.jpg

In other browsers that looks much better. Is there a setting to make
my Opera 10 display the page correctly?

Works for me (Opera 9.64) and two other browsers. Do you have CSS
disabled?

I went and checked if CSS was enabled. I found my way to
Preferences | Content | Advanced
where I saw Javascript was enabled. I couldn't find CSS but I saw
the Blocked Content button.

When I deleted Opera's URLFILTER.INI the web page is ok!

Maybe one entry was causing a problem altho I don't remember
changing anything.

I got another URLFILTER.INI from here but it seems very big (55 KB
compared to my 3 KB). http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/

Is there a way to see which entries in that file get used for a
particular web page?

I believe the choice might be you switched from Author Mode to User Mode
(at least in 9.64 and earlier). Or ...

Aha. Perhaps you inadvertently added z.about.com to that file?

You would have to read the file contents looking for any domain names
used by the page in question. I see no reason to have about.com in the
file though.

Glad you figured it out. I wouldn't have thought to look there, because
about.com is innocuous.
