This is what I do, but as noted above, for some very long threads, it doesn't always take you directly to the newest post in that thread.

:mushroom1:
That is probably more of a bug in the system, than anything else. I'll flag that with the lead developer.
 
I am not a computer guru, nor I make any claim that I am software inclined, but I find it much easier to navigate through it, at least for me, versus other site (that I prefer not to mention, where I used to be a regular). In my opinion is very well organized and the search function works great, not to mention the technical quality of the posts and discussions.

I immediately see a couple or reasons for its great success (not to say that there are not more): 1) There is only one cook in the kitchen (who knows what is doing) and 2) Chatter and politics are left at the door. Personally I am very pleased with the outcome and as a result I stick my nose daily to see what's being discussed. I am still learning how to use its full potential ...

Thanks a lot, Gerry!
 
Hi gerryvz,

The 1st thing I do when I wake up in the morning, is to make a 2 cup equivalent of my favorite coffee, then check what's the latest on 500eboard.com :) ... after which, on to the other MB "forum".

Keep up the good work (y)

Confirmed that this is somewhat of a bug in the system. Mainly it is precipitated by threads where there are a lot of links or images, and the system is correct in specifying the "jump" to the newest, or first unread, post for that user.

What ends up happening is that the page loads and jumps to the correct post, and then a bunch of content and/or links load after that, throwing the display off and to another post it "bounces" to because of the content loading.

The developers are aware of this, and it's been a topic of active discussion. There is code that is supposed to prevent this issue, but it seems that in some circumstances it is not working consistently. They are following up and trying to solve it, but I'm being told that it may or may not be eventually solved/solveable.
