Bit of a longshot, but does anyone else experience the following problem when browsing The Times website via the Opera browser:
If you click on a link, you get a 404 page error.
The error is the Times own 404 error stating that the page could not be loaded.
This happens regularly when browsing the site using Opera but there is no logic as to when it will happen so you could go through a whole session of viewing pages without issue but at other times it could happen on every other link you click.
Sometimes, refreshing the page succeeds in displaying the page but more often than not, it doesn't.
Bizarrely, if I copy and paste the offending link into IE where the page displays without issue and then go back to Opera and refresh the 404 page, the page will then display!!
I get this behaviour on a couple of different (Vista) PC's.
A search via Google and of the Opera KB has proved fruitless but surely I can't be the only one affected?
(Obviously, the workaround is to use IE when browsing The Times website but, at the time of writing, am particularly frustrated by having to do this!)
Edit: Just found a forum on Operas website with some entries of other users with similar problems. Grr, why won't CUK let you delete threads if they don't have any replies??
