The mobile site default date is behind by 1 month and one day on Opera Mobile 8.65

I am using a Sprint Mogul running WinMobile 6, using the Opera Mobile 8.65 browser. The mobile site default date is behind by 1 month and one day.

For example, if I go to the mobile site today (9/15), the date defaults to August 14. So, unless I remember to scroll down and fix it, I have to fix my entries later.

I just tried it with Pocket IE, and the date defaults correctly. Strange.

Hmm. Sounds like maybe your handset browser caches the date from the last time a page was opened? I could see a cellphone company doing this, to save on bandwidth.

There's nothing on our end causing it. Maybe force a refresh on the page when you load it up next time?

I've tried reloading the page, exit the browser and try again, ...same issue.

It took a soft reset of the phone in order to clear it up. I'll have to see if I can adjust the caching that Opera is doing. Thanks.
