we could use some more information on what you are doing. Perhaps give the
site that is giving you problems if it is only one site.

That appears to be meant as the actual RSS 'feed'.
Having done some detective work, I find that going to
<http://weeklyad.target.com/> (with javascript and plugins enabled) there
is a "Flash" applet at the top of which is a clickable "More ways to Get
Your Weekly Ad". Clicking on that brings up a list of options within the
Flash applet, one of which is "RSS Feed". Clicking that results in this
display <http://www.imagebam.com/image/52bc2a51468844> which has a red
"Subscribe" button. Clicking that brings up the page you gave the URL
for.
It seems that Target.com's bizarre use of "Flash" to provide the RSS feed
"submit" button is interfering with Opera's detection of the feed as a
feed.
If you go to Opera's 'Feeds' menu and select 'Manage feeds' and click on
'Add' you can paste
<http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/rss/weeklyad.rss> (without the <>)
into the 'Address' box. That did add the feed to my Opera.

Please don't top-post; it confuses discussions.
Go to <http://www.theregister.co.uk/> and click on the 'feed list' icon at
the right of the box displaying the URL. Then click on the 'Subscribe'
button. That works for me, anyway! There is also a 'Feeds' link at the
top right of that page itself (just below the 'Search' box) which takes
you to a list of 'feeds' from that site.
There's a 'Feed' icon in the address bar when you go to
<http://www.opera.com/support/> too ;))
You can of course delete any 'feed' you don't want, later.

There's usually a way to get around silly web-site designs :))
