Why forum feeds include thread title only?

Before, My Opera RSS/Atom feed included the first few lines of each message posted, along with a link to the full post.
This way it was very easy to follow a thread and decide if an answer or a new posting is needed -- very useful both for regular users and mods.

Recently, only the thread title is displayed per each post.
No any body test is included, but only a link to the full post.
This way, the only effect is the you know that a post was posted by some author, which makes the feeds pretty much useless and time-consuming to follow.

Here is a picture: On the left a message is selected form the list. On the right, the message content is shown: there is a link to the full text only.



Is this intentional, or is it a bug?

Looking at this thread as an example, I see that the Atom 1.0 feed has only the title in the preview, while the RSS 2.0 feed includes the text. (I didn't subscribe to either at this point.) One would presume that it is only an issue with the Atom feeds then ... and they are the ones that need to be fixed.

Huh...
Thanks

As it appears there is no easy way to file My Opera bug, I'll go with the RSS feed smile

You did all I can do as well as far as filing a "bug", unless you want to actually PM one of the community managers and point it out to them. I'm surprised one didn't chime in already ...
