@derek-m, I've just applied a "fix" that'll hopefully fix the issue you've been experiencing. Please let me know it worked.

Yes it worked. Thank you.

@morgan I’ll look into it and have raised a support ticket with the developers.

@editor No. It takes me to the last post in the thread.

@derek-m, yes it’s been tested and I can’t replicate your error. Links via the automated emails take me to the post, last page.

@morgan, when you see the “new” button, does it take you to the most recent post?

@derek-m Mine always takes me to the last post. I then have to scroll back to find the first unread post. Irritating when I want to go to the first unread, particularly if I haven’t visited for a few days. It may be pages to scroll in reverse. 😡

Until the recent changes, if I clicked on the link shown in my Yahoo e-mail it would open the RHH website and take me to the selected post. Now some of the message I receive in my inbox don't even contain the link.

Mars, has this software actually been tested?

@editor

Software can be changed to make it more secure, but it is not necessary to change the screen layout and functionality. Now instead of taking one to the selected new post, it goes to the start of the thread, which may be 27 pages long. I don't see this as an improvement.

I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" – unfortunately that doesn't apply in the world of tech and websites, because you need to stay ahead of the curve to give yourself a fighting chance against nefarious elements that pervade the 'net. To be fair, the upgrade actually went quite well, with minimal issues.
