Hi Marjolien,

do you have 'Fit to width' globally checked in Preferences - Web
pages? I get what you describe if it is enabled and I visit the site
(you can also enable or disable it with the icon on the statusbar).
If Fit to width is not enabled Funda works fine.

Is this Windows Media content? What plugin are you using for it? Go to
opera:plugins to check.
The "old" Windows Media plugin is npdsplay.dll, the "Windows Media
Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library".
The "new" plugin is np-mswmp.dll, and has 'Firefox' in the name.
For newer content you must have the latter one installed, and you
cannot have both at the same time.
If you only have the old one, rename or delete the npdsplay.dll and
npwmsdrm.dll files and then install the new one. Follow the advice
here: <http://avencius.nl/content/using-windows-media-player-11-with-firefox-and-opera>

I can't help you with your chat issue as I don't experience the same issue.
