VIEW-FIRST-UNREAD-POST button not working

PostBy: 009to090 On: Sun Apr 03, 2011 9:04 am

I just noticed that when I click on the "VIEW-FIRST-UNREAD-POST" button on this forum, it does not take me to the end of the thread, where the new posts occur.
I am running the new IE9 version, so I'm not sure if thats the issue?


Edit.... I also just found out I cannot click on the round button to view the whole thread from the beginning.

Do you mean the little box next to the last poster's name? If so it works fine here. In order to view the entire thread from the beginning I have to click on the thread title. The round button does nothing.
Running Firefox.

It will on the index page but not once in a forum, IE or Firefox.

Yep, thats the box/button. If I click it, it takes me to the begining of the thread, or any random post in the thread. It never takes me to the end of the old posts anymore.

Image This one on the left next to the thread title takes you to the last unread post. If there is three pages of posts since you read anything it will take you to the first unread one, it doesn't take you to the third page.



Image This one way over on the right in the "last post" column will take you to the last post.

That little tiny arrow in the corner? Is that what you're talkin' about? That bounced me to the top of the page! I just learned something today! :D

The circled square below used to take me to the First Unread Post in the thread. Since I upgraded to Windows 7 and IE9, It only opens the thread for me, usually at the first post. It does not take me to the "First unread Post" anymore.
The "Last-Post" sqaure button still works correctly.

That worked on my old PC (Vista / IE8)
I don't have access to my new PC right now, I'll try it when I can.

Yes, On Windows 7 and IE9, that link took me to Smitty's post. See results below....

Interesting... the "View-first-unread-post" Button appears to be working with IE9 now. I just read 3 updated threads, and I was correctly taken to the proper post.

I'll update this thread if I see the same issue again.
