Go to first unread post button

[Cat]

I've noticed that the "Go to first unread post" button, doesn't actually take you to the first unread post -- it takes you to the bottom of the thread.

 

Steps to replicate

 

1) See into the future and determine a thread that will generate many posts for awhile

2) Read the first few posts of that thread

3) (This is the hard part) Don't read LAVA for a week or so

4) Go to thread predetermined in #1

5) Push said button

6) Note that it takes you to the last post of the thread and not to the 15 posts before it that you didn't read.

I don't experience this, the first unread post buttons seems to be working for me.  Generally I go to the first unread post then scroll up a few and reread them anyway because I usually forget what the subject was or what was said.

Hmm.  Maybe it's my Big Brother-mandated browser settings or something.

Or that...   / / /

 

It works fine for me too on FF (although in the past there were multiple occasions where I saw something similar where the link would just go to the start of thread, but that was probably an issue with the forum software. There are probably a couple of threads here on that topic).

Oh lordy.  Don't get me started...

Looks like the browser loads the entire page THEN goes to the unread post. When the connection is slow, here, that can take long enough that I start scrolling down.
