"go to first unread message" anomaly

[Jim S.]

Sometimes when I click on the little bullet next to a thread title, it won't go to the last message, but somewhere further up the page instead. When it happens, it always seems to be in threads that have a lot of pictures. Is anyone else seeing this? (I'm using Chrome.)

Did you try clicking on the thread title? That goes to the first unread, too.

I usually click on the thread title but that happens to me too, sometimes. I figured it was because the computer I use on here is kinda slow, a Pentium 4 - 3.4 ghz, if I wait a bit it will jump down in the thread to where it should be. I'm using Firefox.

It doesn't happen a lot, just every now and then, I haven't noticed if it's in threads with a lot of pictures or not.

That shouldn't make any difference at all. I read this thread and then A Raine posted in it, so I then had the 'first unread' option. The bullet point was pointing to here:

And the thread title was pointing to here:

Happens to me all the time,Vista/Palemoon(that's firefox without the attitude).Any thread with a lot of full size pictures and goto last read never works right.
Personally,and in general I would prefer to not have full size pics in the post,thumbnails are just fine.I can click on the thumb if I want to look at the pics.

It happens to me when there are pictures uploaded in the thread.

I have the opposite problem with FF. When I click on the first unread link, it goes to the first unread message but renders that message off the top of my browser window until the page is completely rendered. The initial landing space is at the top of the signature info, rather than at the top of the message itself. Annoying it is, because I don't like to wait.
