HP support forums site (www3.hp.com/t5/forums) got broken in Opera

I wonder what caused this site to completely mess up in Opera (it was quite OK before): the background is now all-grey instead of white for the posts, the layout is terribly messed up too, whole site became completely unreadable.

Recently upgraded to 11.62 from 11.61 so this might be version related but not sure

So is it HP admin's changes or opera?

Looks fine here.
What do you mean by "the layout is terribly messed up"?

I haven't changed any site preferences etc. Just checked with my older 11.5 installation and it's same! so how come you might get it ok ?
it's screwed regardless if I'm logged in or not

Any extensions in use? If so disable them and see if that helps.

Here is what I see there.

what else might it be - this has to be explainable. anyone can confirm it looks normal (like in luthor's post)

Something must have changed in your settings somewhere.

Might be worth deleting your profile directory and start with a fresh profile. You won't lose anything if you follow these steps.

Follow the instructions here first for backing up the important files.
Shut down Opera and remove that profile directory (or just rename it if you prefer). When you restart Opera a new profile directory will be created.
If it works properly you can then close Opera again and transfer your backed-up files back into your new profile.

Put these files back one at a time, you might just discover which one is causing the problem.

Errm not that way, I just did a clean separate installation of opera 11.62 and it's the same, also tried to run even older 11.0x and same - not only I didn't mess with settings, the forum was working fine on the profiles of current and previous installations that I tried (all are usb install and do not share any settings)
I just tried on a different laptop that had opera 11.61 installed (standard, not usb install) but not used and the site is also messed so it must be definitely opera problem unless it could be country/ISP/IP related ..but how come as it works in FF and IE wink ?!

If it was an Opera problem I would have had the same problem when I visited that site.

YES and NO because as you see as I described logically there's no other explanation, I made sure on a different PC and profile (clean one)!

but somehow it remains a mystery why you have it right

CAN ANYONE confirm - how the site displays for you ??

Site is fine for me. Using the Linux version of Opera 11.62. No extensions (using Fanboy's urlfilter.ini, but did disable it to see if that was it, but it was fine either way).
