This is a forum issue that has been bugging me. I notice a lot of the time when I am following a particular topic, I will check the option to go to first unread post. It often takes me to the last post rather than the first unread one. I will scroll up and sometimes see a dozen posts I have not seen previously. Does this happen to anyone else?

it really doesn't work properly. i usually get pushed to last entry as well. even if i haven't read anything for twelve hours.

well that's a long time for me to not flip through my favourite forums so it is. stop laughing at me. i'm just gonna go read the last entry in some other thread now.

I think this forum program is real good at saving a lot of cookies for various things (check your own cookie cache) but isn't very good at actually reading them for their content. I always check the boxes that say "remember me" etc. but have to enter my password every danged time for certain things. Unfortunately I think this is a forums package that LL chose to use but doesn't have much control of at the detail level. I'd still love to have a plain old internet newsgroup. So much easier (and faster) than all this mess.

true. but then they'd have to write php that would parse the threads and print the headers to a web page so everyone could click the links and see the threads on another page with all the smilies and colours and...
