Problem with blank opera:cache in 12.02 on win7--where'd it go?

The site seems to work fine in Opera 12.18 on Windows XP, but as you say, there is no sign of any of its files in the cache.

Dave, Thanks for verifying that!! It confirms the issue isn't with my OS (even win7 the cache is absent)

But I can assure you that this same website once appeared in the cache just fine (on either OS, old or new)

So does anyone have any ideas on why Opera 12 would suddenly stop displaying cache for a website that still loads? What's going on with that?
(And of course I'm wondering if there's a setting in its prefs that could unhide the files...)

I think it's possible for a site to be coded such that it isn't cached, but why anyone would do that, and more to the point why any site author would want to change that behaviour after the site was published, is a mystery.

Some secure sites are set not to be cached, and in that case I can understand why. There are also sites which change their content so often you need to constantly reload, but I'd think that would apply more to news or social sites and not a retailer like Land's End. So you'd have to ask them.

Well that possibility is out: landsend.com appears just fine in the cache of Firefox!

But, the site did work fine at one time in the same version of Opera, no changes.
So I would have to agree that it does seem coding related.

Yet why would one browser have it in the cache, but the other not?
Any other ideas on why Opera 12 has suddenly stopped?

Thanks again for any help!
(I'm wondering if Opera 12 can be tweaked to get it working again)

Just checking back in to see if anyone has any more ideas...

It's really odd that the web page would load, but not appear in the cache (but it does in Firefox)

Is anyone even still using Opera 12??

Thanks,
SN

I'm still using it, and I reproduced the problem.
Still no idea why it's happening though!

Thanks again for checking! At least I know it's not a problem particular to me.

Does anyone know of any third-party cache viewers that would display the contents of Opera 12?

There used to be one called 'Opera cache viewer' or something similar.

Yes, it's here.
