So I've been having this problem randomly for a while now, and was curious if anyone else sees it. Things will be working fine, and then suddenly, when I click on the "go to first new post" in a thread button, instead of taking me to the first unread, it will take me to some much earlier post. Then after a while (usually less than a day), it magically fixes itself.

This morning, the George Floyd thread was working fine, but just now when I went to check on the latest, it is taking me to post #601 instead of the latest for me, which is #682. My guess it has something to do with Firefox and it's weird new anti-tracking features, since when it happens, I'll open up Chrome and Chrome will work as expected.

This has been a recurring problem discussed several times in feedback. Something to do with video frames or imbeds or whatnot in certain posts.

Oh, sorry, shoulda searched. Glad to hear it's not just me, though!

No need to apologize, the thread titles weren’t as clear as your’s. Seems an odd problem that only affects certain browsers or certain setting configurations.

Interestingly enough, as soon as that thread hit 700 posts, it fixed itself!

*edit ... OOP it broke again. that was quick!

I believe it's more prone to happen on longer threads, threads with a lot of media in posts, and when infinite scroll enabled.

Hm, interesting. I actually switched to infinite scroll the first time I had this issue, to see if that would fix it. it did not.

I turned it off to see if it would help and it did not. Without infinite scroll, the "first new post link" took me to page 18 (post 681). It works even worse this way, though. I can't get past page 18 (it shows there is a page 19 and a page 20). The "last page" button just reloads page 18. The "19" button actually takes me to page 16! The "20" button just reloads 18. Super weird! I guess I'll just put infinite scroll back on, since it "works" best
