[OU] 9.5 : problems with chat and Dutch real estate site

I've upgraded to 9.5, but I'm not really happy. I even tried to 
reinstall 9.27 over 9.5, to revert, but if I do that Opera gives an mail 
error and doesn't start at all - and I don't use Opera mail at all. 
Frustrating.

In 9.5 my biggest problems are that I can connect to the chat channel 
and chat, but after a few minutes it comes with the message that my nick 
is allready in use. I can't chat anymore, and when I change my nick it 
tells me "Cannot send to channel". Does anybody recognize that and know 
how to solve it?

My other problem is with one of the real estate sites frequently used in 
the Netherlands (http://www.funda.nl/WoningAanbod/Koop). If you go to 
the site it suddenly shows code under all pictures and options. Also, if 
you visit a house-description and you click on the tab 'Kaart' (= map) 
it shows you where the house is. That map used to be much broader, in 
opera 9.5 it is really small which makes using the feature much harder.

I still have problems with playing video, but that may be due to Vista. 
I upgraded the plug-ins and players, and now I can play youtube and 
other video's when I've just started the computer - but after I've 
looked at a few it suddenly stops working and all video's freeze after 
two seconds. Which means whenever I want to see an embedded video I have 
to start Firefox. I have to use firefox more and more to be honest, and 
though I don't want to (I've used Opera for years and years) I might 
choose the practical solution and make it my default browser...
