Why does your software take me to the bottom of every page?

    When I open a thread or change pages in a thread it snaps me to the bottom of the page and not to the last post read.

    What is your OS, and Browser?

    @John, it could be just on computers...I'd noticed the same thing on the computers I used from work (which in fairness are probably at least three versions behind on IE and still operate on XP), but not on my phone. In the last week, it's actually been taking me to the first new post, so I assume the snafu has been fixed....?

    I haven't fixed anything yet. @Archangel never got back with me.

    Are you looking at Shelter release threads? Those always take you to the first "new" post, which is usually @shootER asking if the thread is ready for release.

    Yeah, that's probably it. The gov't is afraid to use software that's not at least 3 versions behind.

    Wierd thing is, it stopped doing that this past week. I've yet to use the new Xenoforo on a non government issued computer and I can still use emails okay, so it's nothing on the ITs' end to unfuck it.
