    ==========================================
    Anyone else have this problem? What fixes this or any ideas what to do?
    Not exactly tech-no-literate...... so may have to be very elementary in response.

    Opera is my preferred browser.... but I could not access this site in recent 2 days.
    Having to use another browser to open baptist board, but this browser hangs up/freezes frequently.

    It could be several different things. Check your proxy settings and make sure nothig is amiss. If you don't use a proxy then nothing should be checked. I don't use Opera so I'm not sure exactly where to check those settings.

    You could try uninstalling Opera and reinstalling it. Be sure to export your bookmarks first so you will not lose them. Opera may leave them intact but it is better to be safe than sorry.

    I wish I could be of more help but Opera is not my forte. If this was Firefox... then we could talk. ;)

    I run Ubuntu 9.04 on the kid's computer; only use Firefox & Seamonkey and both with no problems...what version of Ubuntu are you using?

    Also these folks are very helpful with my linux issues

    The problem seems to have been temporary..... or maybe it was fixed when I got the recent update although I saw nothing which I would recognize as associated to Opera.
    I also have firefox.... but pages take longer to load so I prefer the Opera program.

    I did try rebooting... which didn't work. But I had a recent update package... and everything seems fine now.

    Computers are crazy........ Just when you want them!

    Thanks for the info guys: Trotter, I don't know much about what I've got. :)
