first unread post link missing

[slowhike]

I think I might have it correct in the above link. I just opened a thread where I HAD read threads. The "read first unread" was there. Clicked it and it jumped to the page and first unread post! Like a book mark. SO, I think in a thread where you have never read anything, they are all unread, so the link doesn't show up.

i've actually seen it both ways.
when i go to a new thread that i've never seen, it usually does not have the "first unread post" option... but sometimes it does.
if that option is there & i click it, the 1st post (which is already visible on the page) will just jump to the top of the screen, putting the Hammock Forums title & info bars out of site.

rhjanes,

for me, the link does not show up in threads where I have read some of the posts, but the first unread post is still on the first page. Also, in threads with a poll, the link is missing even if the thread spans multiple pages and the first unread post is on the last page. Now that I know about the direct link from the new posts page, I don't really need to use the "View first unread" link in the orange bar though.

I do think the behaviour is a bit random in some situations, sometimes you get the link, sometimes not. I do always get the link if the first unread post is not on the first page and there is no poll, though. I think the random behaviour in other situations started about two weeks ago.

i'm pretty sure i've seen that "random behavior" for a while now. it's just so occasionally random, that i haven't kept track<G>.
