not that it's the biggest deal in the world ...

There's a button next to the title of a thread, right, which is supposed to take you to the first post made since you last read the thread.

After a trip or two through the forums, when I click on that button, I am taken to posts I've already read and have to scroll down, often quite a ways, to get to the new posts.

Once that's started, on successive trips through/refreshing the page of the forum, I continue being taken to the same posts. My unscientific impression is also that it often gets stuck somewhere in the second page of a thread.

Do y'all have a suggestion about something I might be doing wrong or some way to encourage this function to work better?

I've tried emptying my cache, but that seems to make no difference. If I close down the entire browser, I think that makes it work again (only tried it once or twice, not sure if I'm remembering right, either). But obviously, I don't want to have to close the browser each time I'm looking for new posts.

Thanks a lot. And, like I said before, hardly the end of the world.
 
I have the same issues.

Think it's a job for Niall.
 
I also hear Noodlehair can fix this problem

You will of course need to PM him
 
That button next the titles are supposed to take you to the very last post of the thread, which it does if I'm not mistaken.

What doesn't work though is when you click a title - then it's supposed to take you to the last post you read - it used to work but doesn't anymore. Now you just end up at the last page, the page with your own last post or some random page. Rather frustrating.

It's a bug which has occurred since Niall made the changes to the forum so that it would get higher Google rating or something like this.
I only really notice it when I visit the matchday threads before and after games.
