Hey moderators,
Just a question. Thought it might be worthwhile to ask it here, so others could weigh in ...

I use Opera as my main browser. Don't know if this is a problem on NS or M$, but usually when I go to a thread display page, it doesn't update. This has several times confused me, as I see that I have replies, go to the thread, and *blink,blink* no replies! Then I remember to hit the refresh button. :D

I do web design, so I know there's no 100% cure, but the following tag in the <head> section works 95% of the time for me:

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

Might save users those few extra clicks.

Thanks for listening,

Would also slightly increase b/w and server load ;)
