Thanks to friendly user Graehe and his incredible Javascript knowledge, the "jump to first new post" feature (click on the ugly purple ball in the thread list to go to the first new post) works much better. It will now try to jump there using the conventional anchor method and then once the page is fully loaded will do a Javascript jump to it. So don't be alarmed if your page jumps around a bit. All should be well with the world once the page is done loading.

It also occurred to me while I was adding this that the jump to first new post function will always jump to the last page of the thread regardless if there are new posts on previous pages. So, like, maybe I'll fix that eventually.

Urm... I find this to be a pain in the arse, sorry, simply because it requires you to click the "Back" button twice if you read a thread but do not contribute to it, then want to go back out to the list of threads. If it could be arranged so that this jump to the first new posting is not a separate page-load, then the problem would be solved.

*shrug*

Anyway, that's my opinion - not hugely useful, and a bit annoying. Sorry to be a spoilsport.

You're right! I'll KILL that Graehe with my BARE HANDS!

Anyway, I TOLD you to use

location.replace("whatever")

instead of

location.href="whatever"

This takes care of that problem.
