[OU] ALWAYS two different results for opera and firefox

Hi,
sorry for top-posting but using a keyboard where I don't know where the "greater than" sharp angle bracket is makes it pretty hard to quote correctly :-p
 
I tried Washington Post and actually I can not reproduce the problem. The link you gave said "Comments closed" both in Opera and Firefox, while another article which was at the top of the front page at the time gave me access to a "comment" box in both browsers. It was a bit odd that in Firefox I was immediately redirected to a "Login" screen while in Opera I had to manually choose the "login" link, enter my user info and only then I would see the comment field, but I think that was because I was "half logged in" from an earlier session. So the site knew who I was but didn't want to let me post comments until I had confirmed it.

Subject: [OU] ALWAYS two different results for opera and firefox

i get two different results at a washington post page, depending on whether 
i'm using firefox or opera. firefox gives me a login link in a box 
headed 'comment', just to the right of the first para' of the article. the 
login opens a box for comments. opera shows the same box but with no login 
link and text which says that 'comments are closed for this item.' the link:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/03/AR2008030302811.html?nav=hcmodule

i tried deleting opera cookies.

thanks,
