Why are some speed dial images wrong?

Hullo All,
I'm running Opera 11.52 on Fedora 15 x86_64.
Most of my speed dial images are thumbnails of the web page (or most of it) and are immediately recognisable, whilst a few are what appear to be a full scale image of the upper left corner of the web page, and hence quite meaningless.
Is this behaviour something that can be rectified at my end, or is it due to the web page?

Cheers,
Terry

Right click on a speed dial and select Reload every: options range from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Then right click again and select Reload.

I remembered reading about this in the *nix forum. I searched for it and found it. Ruario (an Opera employee) includes a reason why this works. http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=961492

It helps because Opera is programmed to display the whole page if a reload value is set, even a long reload value of 6 hours. The logic behind it is that if someone is bothering to set a reload they probably want to see what changed on the page, hence we should actually display the whole page.

Many thanks for your help.
