Technical Issue: Reading large threads

    Apologies if there is a technical issue forum, I didn't realy search hard though, far too lazy

    If you on the frontpage of the website you might decide to click on a large thread, say 50 plus posts for example.

    But you are not taken to the last post, you are taken to the middle of thread. For me to say the middle of the thread is a bad example but it happens everytime I clicked on this thread in Galway forum

    Seriously, go to the mainpage and find a large thread and you will be dumped in the middle of it.

    Is there a reason for it? I'm not complaining, maybe it's the software this site uses

    Thanks

    Edit: Just tried 3 threads on the frontpage and it didn't work but I'm not making this up. I've no reason to....

    Clicking from the front page brings you to the newest post as does clicking on a link to the newest post in a sub forum.

    Clicking on the arrow beside a thread in a forum brings you to the newest post (since you last visited). Clicking on the thread title brings you to the first post.

    Excuse me, I've had a few.
    Just read your post again.

    Clicking on any link from the front page will take you to the newest post made since you last logged, in.

    Apologies if I got my OP wrong, I stand to be corrected :)

    But for sure, many times I've opened a large thread and being left in the middle.

    That's because when you go into a thread it takes you to the newest post you haven't read or since your last log in.
