Jumps ahead when I click on a new to me thread?

[TractorGuy]

Why does this happen? When I click on a thread I know I have never read it will jump to page two and start me out reading post 33 for example. I have my Thread Display Options set to Linear - Oldest First so when I click on a thread I have never read it should start on page 1, post 1. I am using Firefox 54.0.1 (32 bit). It has done this as long as I've been a member.

The only time that happens to me is when someone posts to an old thread, it goes to the new post which may be on page two.

I just now tested by going back to 2011, (before I joined) in the Projects Forum and clicked several multi-page Threads, all opened to the first post.

Using Chrome and W10.

I just switched to using Chrome and it still happens but not every time.

Next time it happens, Check the date of the previous post to see if it is an old thread.

Just did it again. I clicked on the topic "Hookaroon/Pickaroon recommendation" in the Rural Living forum and it took me to post number 39. I know for a fact I have never looked in that thread till now.

Were you in the Rural Living Forum or Today's Posts?

Post #38 was on 05-25-2017, 10:32 AM, I don't know if that is enough of a time gap to not go back to the first post in the thread.

Same for me, sometimes it will open to the second or third page of a six page thread.
