I like it. However, I don't like...

Replying to a post, and winding back up on the original 'view new post thread'. I have to click on view new, and wind back up at the latest post.
Now I gotta click through all those already read posts to get to the one after the one I replied to.

Very aggravating.

When I want to reply to a post, I right click and open it in a new tab. That way after replying, I can just go back to the other tab and I'm right back to where I was.

Works for me.

So I reply to this post and this happens...

Edit: Ok, I understand what you are saying.  Guess I never noticed it.  I am not sure there is a fix, but will ask LSFS...

Although I'm not positive if this addresses your issue, you can try this:

This has the result of returning to the topic in which you replied to a post.

I also like to check the box Show most recent posts at the top if I am on a forum that I visit multiple times a day - that way the newest post is at the top rather than at the bottom, which is a time saver if there are many pages of posts in a topic.

I look at the forum on my laptop so any thread I want to read I just open it in a new tab that way I always have a tab with the whole new posts thing to go back to.  Just right click on the thread and hit open in new tab. If there are multiple pages and you know you have read through say 4 of the 5 right click on the 5 and it will open that page so you don't have to start from the beginning.
