      This is driving me nuts. From this afternoon Opera has started to redirect me from where I want to go to a different but a related site. The site I want to go to is -

      https://forums.beamdog.com/
      

      It pops up for less than a second in the address bar and then it changes it to -

      https://www.beamdog.com/
      

      I have checked that it is just Opera doing this by going to the site I want using Firefox to so without any problems.

      So what I want know is what setting can I change to stop Opera from doing this.

      Thanks.

        @tarotredhand Usually it's done by the site itself or by the ISP/DNS server.

        Do a test, enable opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent and see if the redirection still happens.

        Cleaning cookies may help too.

          @leocg said in How do I stop Opera changing an address:

          Still happens. I also removed the cookies relating to both of those sites - no change.

          Thanks for trying.

            @tarotredhand I just tried here and wasn't redirected, even with the flag turned off.

              @leocg I have found a workaround that works. Instead of using -

              https://forums.beamdog.com/
              

              I can use -

              https://forums.beamdog.com/discussions
              

              to access the site. Weird but it works.
