Well I do understand.
The topic I was talking about that I could not find was actually on the same issue but was due to the content island was passed by.
Meaning the content island is placed between the first and second post.
If a topic say has ten replies. Or is at multiple pages.
A visitor will select the unread post link. since it is new to them.
Then they are taken to the bottom of the page to the new posting.
Thereby never viewing the content island because it is several posts above. Unless they manually scroll back to the top of the page or previous page.
The problem I believe comes from when you visit a site your cookie timestamp determines if you have unread topics or replies. Meaning that any post newer than your existing timestamp is new. So naturally you are taken to that post when you click on a new link.
To change that I assume would need a major edit to the cookie files so they are handled differently.
