Hmm... Maybe I'm the only one this is happening to.. but it's doing it on both my work PC and my home PC..

Normaly as I understand it, if I click on the down arrow next to a post it should take me to the newest unread in that post, since I last logged off. It works fine if I log in 1-2 a day.. but I've noticed if I don't for a day or two, it jumps much farther down on the list, leaving several posts skipped that I have not seen above it basicaly marked as read.

I've also noticed sometimes if I click on a post title I've never looked at (not the down arrow) it will jump me downsomewhere in the middle of the post if not the end, as if at some point in the last day or two I told the board to mark all as read, and it's taking me only to posts in the last few days. It should take me (and in most cases does) to the first post in the thread.

Is this a quirk with me, Hybred mode, or the board? Or am I just not getting how the board is supposed to work :confused:

I get strange indications as well. This post, for example, was marked as read by me when I haven't been in this section of the forum in a week. My display is in flat mode.

Same happends to me, it jumps to a ramdom message way down the list missing many that are unread. This happens at work where cookies are not blocked and at home where they are.....
