One problem I noticed with the recently released Opera 10 (used with the Universal Thread site) is that sometimes, but not always, when I click on the button to get new messages, I see the same list of messages over and over again. It looks as if this is due to an overly aggressive optimization by Opera - and I suspect there is nothing that can be done about this on the server side. My previous experience was that a URL that includes a question mark will never be fetched from cache, but Opera version 10 doesn't seem to work this way.
Pressing F5 solves the problem in this case.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
