Opera browser

Forgive me if this has been asked already but is there a way to stop Opera from defaulting to the mobile version of most websites. Everytime I type in www.espn.com it takes me to m.espn.com the mobile site and I've had this same problem with other websites as well.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem and was wondering if you found a fix.

I've tried it and it did not work. If I did something wrong or if there is something else to try I would love to know. Thanks in advance.

Worked for me. Didn't have to soft restart. Just had to restart Opera.

Make sure you scroll ALL THE WAY down after changing the value and click on "Save"

Also after you restart Opera, go back to User Preferences and double check that the change was saved.

an easy fix is to use espn.go.com works for me everytime even after changing the profile opera uses it defaulted to espn mobile.

well, although it worked for me I guess I'll go back to default since this is too slow and some pages seem to get destroyed by mobile crossover
