Has anyone else had trouble with this feature?

I've noticed over the last week that it isn't clicking to the last unread, it is clicking to today.
It just happened again when I clicked on the "This is why we can't stay in our grocery budget" thread. It went to today's comments and skipped yesterday's. The last comment I had read was Coolmom's comment about personal use of a work vehicle and the tax implications. That comment was written on 3/6.

Suggestions? At first I thought it was forgetfulness or distraction on my part, but it is happening fairly often so I don't think it's me.

Does it to me, too. Still convenient when there aren't a huge number of new posts. I've gotten in the habit of scrolling back a bit just to be sure I haven't missed anything.

Me too. It doesn't do it all the time, but enough so that I just scroll back a bit.

I have been totally using this figure since reading this post and have not had it fail once.

How to you guys who don't use the feature find the latest post? How do you know where you left off reading?

And yes, it is inconsistent regarding which ones work great and which don't.

I have poked around and still haven't found it.

This isn't "new posts" is it?

It's on the blue banner in the middle of the page just above post #1.

How in the world could you handle the Coronavirus thread without this feature? I haven’t noticed any issues, but I could just be missing some stuff. I always read by clicking new posts then view first unread. I never notice which forum threads are actually in.

Yup. That's how I do it, and that's my question as well.
