Muhammad,
Yes, technically, that's how it *should* work. And actually, its how it used to work, up until a few weeks back.
It was really nice -- I could click on a thread I'd never read before, and it would take me to the first post. I could subscribe to the thread and come back later to see it was modified. Then it would take me to the last post I had read, and I could continue on. Now, it wouldn't always work that way -- if a thread hadn't been updated in a long time, it would sometimes take me to the first post, but in general it worked well.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I clicked on threads, it would skip past all of those that I hadn't read and take me to the very last post. Argh! But yeah, clicking on the first page would take me to the first post, yada, yada, yada. So, what used to be a nice feature is now broken, and broken in a way that can be quite irritating to those of us who were used to the way it used to work.
Maybe I just need to clear out my browser cache and cookies?
This happens in both IE7 and FireFox, but I just recently installed FireFox, and it did migrate all of my cookies over from IE7.
Since you mention an upgrade, would it be possible to automatically subscribe to threads we post in? I usually remember to change the thread subscribtion part at the bottom when I post, but not always....
Thanks for your support! I appreciate this site.
Regards,
-Steve
