"Last Post" function--off by one error?

(1/2) > >>

Foxx:
Routinely when I use the "Last Post" link on a thread to view the new unread posts on a thread, it takes me past the first unread post and displays on the second unread post.  So there might be new posts on a thread, I'll go to the second new post and miss the first new one and have to scroll up to see it or go back a page.  I don't think the forum has always done this and I think it's been going on for me for at least a week.

Is anyone else having this issue?

SeekinTruth:
I have it quite a bit. It's been going on for a few months, but not every time I click "new" in a thread. I've just gotten into the habit of going up from the post it starts at and making sure that I haven't read the previous post. And sometimes there's a couple of new posts before the one it starts at when clicking "new." FWIW.

Jason (ocean59):
Yes, has been happening to me for about a month now. I thought at first it was a security issue with my account, so reported via PM to Mr. Scott,  but I've been assured it is just a glitch.

A couple days ago, it skipped 2 messages when I went to load a thread. I only notice it when there is a reply being referenced that I have not previously read.

The concern I have is, how many posts have I missed that weren't later referenced, and so not noticed?

Glad to hear it isn't just me though. :)

Lilou:
I never even knew you could just click on "New", learn something new everyday.  :D   If you are logged in and open a thread, it seems it just picks up where you last stopped reading.  If not logged in, it starts at the first page.  ...or not, now I have to go check!   

I've lost my avatar on log in, so maybe just glitches here and there. 

added:  it seems it just takes up where you left off, logged in or not. 

Foxx:
This function seems to be working again for me consistently since yesterday.  If someone fixed it--thanks!
