goto first new post broken with Chrome on Windows?

[Jon Stratis]

So, I'm having a problem this week with the "goto first new post" links on the recent activity list in the portal. When I click on them, they all take me to the most recent post as of Wednesday (8/10, sometime around noon, it seems), and not to the new post in threads I'm keeping up on - This has been consistent since Wednesday afternoon!

Whats interesting, is that this only seems to happen when visiting from my Windows 10 machine (Chrome, latest (52.0.2743.116 m)), and not from my iPhone (chrome, latest). Is this something to do with the most recent update to Chrome this week? I can't even express how annoying it is!

That is funky. Whenever Chrome acts weird for me, I just clear cache and browsing history (and everything else) and it starts working again.

I experienced a similar issue with Firefox on Windows 7. I'm not sure how to fix it; it seems to work when it wants to. Though Chrome probably isn't the best browser for Windows because of the tick rate/power consumption issue...

Yeah, I've seen the Microsoft data on that also. It's honestly not an issue for my Windows 10 machine, though - I've probably only used it for about 3 hours unplugged, cumulative... and that during meetings. Plus, our conference rooms here are all setup for wireless ChromeCast, which makes Chrome a must have. And it's nice having the synchronization across devices (as I use Chrome on multiple devices) when it comes to history and bookmarks.

This happens to me a lot. For days or even weeks, clicking the little button will take me to what the first new post was whenever I clicked that button days before. It seems to "stick" a lot. It's been happening to me for months, but I'm using IE 10 mostly.

Same. I've seen it in Chrome on Windows 7; I now use Firefox on Windows 10 and same thing. It'll reset every so often, but it's kind of annoying.

Sometimes the in-thread "first unread" will work, sometimes it won't.

I've been experiencing this on Chrome on Android and Firefox on Windows 7 for a few weeks now. I thought it was only me.

Started happening for me - I keep getting directed to posts from the 9th.

I just rooted and blocked ads in my hosts file - works system-wide, and I don't need to use Opera.
