Opera 8 rejecting computing.net sig

Comment:
I was just test running the final version of Opera 8 and already ran into two worries:
When I respond to a follow up on a thread, the darn page fails to refresh instantly and trying to repost gives the double-post warning unless I manually refresh the messages list (realised that a little too late the first time).
Secondly all other browsers allow sig addition and modification but this Opera will just not take any sig let alon allow modification....(reason this post is missing my sig).

Opera is apparently a sick beast, as it still refuses the sig. Got another suggestion for me.

In case you are wondering why there is a sig above, that response was posted using Firefox and this one using Opera.

Yep Sabertooth, I'm having big problems with Opera here. I had been posting replies in that post Per made and thought my posts were getting deleted...turns out the post was deleted and Opera wasn't smart enough to refresh the page.
Looks like Opera isn't ready yet.

Need to correct myself, the entire thread was deleted and Opera couldn't tell.

Aha!!! a browser that robust, should not have such mediocre hassles. I am no longer going to waste mine or anybody elses time with it.
