Finding why website is not displaying correctly here

In 11.52 and 12.00/1105 (Win7/64), many of the following site's pages are partially or fully offset - http://revenue.mt.gov/default.mcpx. The folks at opera.general newsgroup say that it looks fine for them and can't figure why not here. Any ideas? Thanks,

Here are a couple of screenshots:

Any extension or userjs running? And adblockers?

Thanks, it's turned out be something else. I decided to check the site against a clean install of the Opera Labs version and it was still off. Then I had a hunch... What's going on is that my monitor is a 24" 1920x1200 and to save my aging eyes I have it set in Win 7 to show at 119%. Change it to 100% and the site looks fine; change it back and the problem returns. Wiith magnification, there seem to be two site issues: text size and text placement. At some sites, text enlargens proportionately, while at others - really, most - it remains small. But I'd never come across a site before where the the placement was off (aside from any small programming/Opera quirks). I assume that the site's programming does not accommodate the screen adjustment; i.e., it's not a problem with Opera or something else on my computer. Make sense?

Looking further, the problem has to do with the way the website or Opera (or both) handle display (DPI) magnification in Win 7 when the option "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" is chosen. When it's off, the site is fine but the enlargened text is fuzzy, as it is at other sites as well. When it's on, this site is messed up while all the other sites I've encountered in two months with this monitor are fine in terms of placement (quirks aside). OTOH, the problem with most (but not all) other sites, including Opera's, is that text size doesn't enlargen proportionally; i.e., it's still small. I've filed a bug report about all this, so Opera can take a look too.

Double posting? I don't think that's fair. I posted at opera.general newsgroup, which is separate from the Opera site. After the ideas had run their course over there and people were openly stymied, I decided to try over here, where there is a broader range of problems, readers and expertise. When I later figured out the answer, I updated both as a matter of information and courtesy. I don't think that's considered double posting per Opera rules or general netiquette.

gdveggie, check you message box.

Do you have Fit to Width enabled by any chance? (Ctrl+F11 to toggle on/off)

It might show in the bottom right corner on the Status Bar (if you have the Status Bar enabled), but I can't tell from your screen-shots.

Yeah, makes sense to me. Now that you mention it, I'm recalling a couple of other threads several months ago that touched on similar problems. Glad you got it figured out!

Now I'm puzzled.... The link I provided to your other thread was here in the Opera forum when I posted it, but appears to be gone now.

I might be mis-remembering, but I think it was even here in this same Opera browser forum. (For sure, one double posting I saw around the same time was, and that caught my attention because most duplicate posts I see have one in this Opera browser forum and one in the Opera for Windows forum.)

But what I definitely remember about yours was that I ran into the other thread with a similar mt.gov screenshot after my first post above, and I was confused at first, thinking "Wait a minute, didn't I just reply to this question?" And that's why I mentioned it in my second post.

But if that thread originated somewhere else (i.e., in the opera.general newsgroup) I didn't know that and I need to understand more how that works, because it's sure understandable from your perspective that you were posting in 2 different places.

I've never used a newsgroup, but I've seen plenty of forums where I have assumed the content is partly or largely newsgroup driven (all the comments are endlessly repeated and nested). I've always wondered how that worked, and whether any of the MyOpera forum users are reading and posting in the forum from a "newsgroup" interface.

*IF* that's the case with your other post, it still seems it would look like (and be) a double posting if your newsgroup posts shows up here and then you also post here via the forum interface. But I'm not at all clear whether that's what happened or how it works.

Do you know how it works???

I also know there have been some squirrelly things going on with the forum the last few days since some kind of MyOpera update, so I wonder if that might have anything to do with it. (e.g., newsgroup postings showing up here in the forum when they usually don't, and disappearing later). I've tried several times to click on the link and most times I get a 401:

Authorization Required
Access denied
You do not have access to view this page.

...But one time I got: "The server requested a login authentication method that is not supported." and another time I just got got an empty screen.

So maybe I'm trying to access your newsgroup ??? ...that was showing up here in the forum earlier ???

But in any case, my remark was intended in a friendly fashion, and now I'm just really curious as to what happened.

Checked it, & will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for the helpful reply.
