As a member of the Classic Goo Fan Club, I suspect a sinister plot by Alabasterites...

Yeah, I suffer from alabaster as well 
The technically interesting thing is that it only shows up with my "Who's online" panel of Opera 6.01. The list itself works fine, i.e. lists correctly. The other h2g2 panel I have in Opera is the "My current Conversations" which works fine and is in Goo.

Tube, silly point, but have you checked you haven't accidentally got a "/alibaster/" in the URL for your panel...?

Ah, there you go! Just need to open and close the Hotlist a couple of times and re-enter the URL and it suddenly works!... 
Doesn't explain it, though.

AAAARRGHHH! 
My Eyes... My U Space shows in Alabster even though it says /classic/ in the URL and reloading doesn't help 
Yep, Shazz. That links to a non-exisiting page. ... Go, sign up for the dole...

Jim? Are you watching this thread and playing with our heads?

Ok, I go to my preferences. They are set to *Goo* and the page is alabaster. I set them to Goo and tell the machine to update the details. It reloads the page, shows it in Goo while the URL says /alabster/. My Uspace shows in Alabster, too... claining /classic/ in the URL. Changing that to Alabaster does not help, so it's not that the graphic files were swapped... (And yes, I did reload each page repeatedly)
