Opera 10.53 Download

The Opera development team has just released Opera 10.53 for Windows and Macintosh in response to a reported crash that might have been a security vulnerability as well. The release candidate of the new version of Opera was already available yesterday and there do not seem to be any additional changes in the final release.
Opera 10.53 fixes three issues in total of which one is the reported security vulnerability. The two remaining fix a freeze of the web browser
on Google Maps and and change the way the dialog.ini file is located and loaded in Opera.

Have you noticed a problem using the vBulletin "New Posts" tab since installing Opera 10.52?

It seems as though it will only work once :umm:

It's persisted in version 10.53 but is only a problem for me on the Windows platform ... the Mac version is OK.

It'd be nice if you could confirm it's not user error.

I just updated to 10.53 and then came here. Clicked the New Posts button. Then went to several different threads and clicked it again. Every time it worked for me. It took me to the new posts. Using Windows 7 64 Bit.

Is it on this site or another site that this is occurring?

I first noticed the problem on another vBulltin forum. It was this thread that prompted me to register here to see if others had a similar problem.

I've logged in to respond and, like you, I've clicked on "New Posts" and had the threads returned that have changed since my last visit. I think you've prodded me in the right direction about what might be the real cause of my difficulty.

Once I've finished looking at the new posts, I habitually start afresh by selecting ...

Quick Links -> Mark Forums Read​

I think it may be this action that spoils subsequent use of the "New Posts" tab.

Maybe?

If you mark all the posts as read, then how can it find new posts as they are already marked as read?

You would have to go back to the index, refresh and make sure that there is no new posts to be found. The action you are getting is what is to be fully expected.

Thanks for responding.

We obviously use our forums differently. The way you describe is exactly the way I usually read all the threads that change on the forum I administer:

  1. New Posts
  2. Browse interesting threads
  3. Quick Links -> Mark Forums Read
  4. Goto 1

The problem with the Windows versions of Opera >= 10.52 is that, even when there are new posts, it'll report that there's none. It didn't used to behave like that and is different from the way 10.53 works on the Mac ... it's odd :confused:

As it is troubling me, I really ought to report it as a bug.

MOK

Before I report it as a bug, I'd better find out what's really going on as I've just been able to refresh the new posts on this forum.

:facepalm:
 
The only way that 4 step process would work on any site would be if there was posts made between the time you clicked "Mark Forums Read" and the time you clicked "New Posts". It doesnt matter anything else as this is how the vB software will work.

If there are absolutely no new posts from the time you "Mark Forums Read" and the time you click "New Posts" what can it possibly show you? I dont see how you can say it is a bug with the Opera software when all i see is how the forum software is supposed to perform.

phpBB, vB, IPB, SMF among any other forum software will operate this way. Just like Ie, Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera will display it as it should. The reason why you were able to see new posts is because between the time you clicked "Mark Forums Read" and the time you clicked "New Posts" is someone else had submitted a post to the forum. If there is no posts submitted in that time, no browser and no forums software will display something that hasnt happened.

Sorry, I was lazy in not trying to debug the network traffic myself. As far as I can see, it is a new feature:

I've captured the HTTP traffic for Opera, IE8 and Firefox when doing the same thing:

  1. Login
  2. New Posts
  3. Logout

This version of Opera doesn't send a getnew and therefore gets the results from a previous search request.

There must be a reason but it isn't right :(

After further consideration, I think the new version of Opera is doing more with the ...

Cache-Control: private

... than previous versions and other browsers.
