 | I recently upgraded to Opera 7.54u1 and recently Google groups has
got a new layout.
I am not sure what has caused it, but if I use Opera to go back and
see the previous page in Google groups then I get that page
downloaded again from the net.
How can I prevent this?

You might not be able to with 7.54u1, since according to...
....it includes: Improved support for the "must-revalidate" cache directive.
For some user comments on this, see the "Opera 7.54u1 slower than 7.54 ?!?"

One thing I can confirm is that the new Google groups redesign does use the
"must-revalidate" cache directive.

Hmmm, that is a step backwards. I really and truly loved Opera's
ability to go back several pages without reloading.
However if I have understood the technical debate in that thread then
Opera will stop refreshing BACK PAGES in the next version. I hope
so!

I agree. One of the main reasons I like Opera (I use version 7.20
build 3144) is that it allows me to quickly browse a particular
technical forum (www.control.com) using my dial-up connection without
having to reload the main page every time I went back from reading a
particular posting. That main page has a lot of graphics and stuff
that must be loaded before I see the good stuff. It was a pain with
Netscape and IE. The designer of that website probably wanted to flag
the main page as "Must Revalidate" because someone might have added a
posting to the list while I was reading another posting. But the list
is moderated and postings are usually added in a group. If I really
wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything, I could always hit
"Reload". I appreciate the ability to ignore the "Must Revalidate"
flag, particularly when the website designers make indiscriminant use
of that flag.
