It is not just you. Happens to me too so I have been just avoiding using it. It was handy though and I do miss it, especially on the really long threads with many pages!

I don't know what happened to your first post, nor am I aware of a "view first unread" option. Where is it? (I really don't know!)

Are you talking about the little arrow "Go to last post" (what is says when you mouseover) button that appears right after the post's timestamp?

Wheetsin, in this thread, for example, there are three posts, four with mine. Right at the top of these is a function bar. At the left corner is the "View First Unread" button. From what others are saying it apparently once allowed a person to go to the place in the thread that contains the first post that is new since the last time the person visited the thread.

Oh, there it is! I was looking through the Rate Thread, Didplay Modes, etc., and some things at the bottom, and had completely not even seen that option.

I tried it and it took me to the main forum index. I'm not terribly familiar with troubleshooting VB but I'll make sure to put a link to this thread for the other mods to see.

I just tried it and it works for me, IF I'm in a thread where there is a new page of posts I haven't been to before. If I click it now, in a thread where I've read all the posts or at least viewed the page with the last post on it, it takes me to the main menu.

You don't have to use that button, though. If you click on the little blue arrow next to the thread title in the forum listing, that does the same thing as View First Unread. And if there are no unread posts in that thread, the little blue arrow doesn't appear.
