When I click on a topic, for some reason the page will open and be somewhere in the middle or end of the thread. I checked out my preferences and don't see anything that would cause this. If there is a 3 page thread and I click on the topic, I might end up on page 2 half way down the page for some reason when it opens. Is there something that I can change on my account settings to open on the first post when I click on a topic?

Supposedly it is taking you to the first unread message. I find it incredibly annoying it but I haven't found a way to turn it off.

Mods,
is there a way to fix this? It's very annoying. I've looked in my settings as well and not seen a fix

from another thread in i responded to:

So I decided to fix this. Here is a script you can save as 'anything.user.js' and "File->open" it in firefox after you install greasemonkey. You can also load it into Chrome as an extension.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code:</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>

// @name first post snipershide

var tda = document.getElementsByClassName('topicsubject');
var tdb = document.getElementsByClassName('alt-topicsubject');
var tdc = document.getElementsByClassName('new-topicsubject');
var tdd = document.getElementsByClassName('new-alt-topicsubject');

// file:///home/vinson/fix_ubb_newpost.user.js

for (var i = 0; i < tda.length; i++) {
var link = tda.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
link.href = link.href.replace(/&gonew.*/i, '')
}

for (var i = 0; i < tdb.length; i++) {
var link = tdb.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
link.href = link.href.replace(/&gonew.*/i, '')

for (var i = 0; i < tdc.length; i++) {
var link = tdc.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
link.href = link.href.replace(/&gonew.*/i, '')

for (var i = 0; i < tdd.length; i++) {
var link = tdd.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
link.href = link.href.replace(/&gonew.*/i, '')
}
