Hi Bruce,

I have never seen this problem with older versions of Opera (I didn't
use to visit that site regularly), but I have done a quick check with
Opera 10.50 and all links look and work OK (tried links at the menu,
links to/in articles and some links in the columns around).

So also I recommend you to upgrade to 10.50.

About the settings: I think you do not need to copy any files, if you
just want to upgrade (though some backup is never a bad idea). I have
upgraded Opera many times just by running installation from newer
package and I have never seen any loss of settings. However, I cannot
confirm that for mail filters, because I never used them in versions
prior to 10.50, though I still can confirm for multiple mail accounts
and messages.

Also, I have heard that Opera Software is releasing 10.51 soon and
there will be many things fixed, so you might want to wait for it (so
you won't get the bad feeling from the faults that came with 10.50,
and it's fact that there arte some, because of quite hurried release
of 10.50, which is said to be because of MS Ballot screen but that's
another story :-D).

Good luck,
Al.
