Me too! I get way too used to it and I expect other forums to do it too, but I get mad when they don't! I love the feature as well!

It seem I'm unable to read the oldest post per thread, despite having that option set. It instead jumps to the newest despite me never reading the thread before. I discovered, however, if you change the theme to the default red theme, the read oldest first function works properly.
It seems almost counterintuitive, however, selecting "linear- oldest first" takes you to the last unread post in a thread but inversely, selecting "linear-newest first" takes you to the first post in a thread which common sense says should technically be the oldest.
I love this feature also. Whenever I'm browsing other forums, I also get upset it doesn't take me the the last read thing. If I was actually going to seriously join another forum, that feature would be the first thing I would miss.
Settings > General Settings > Thread Display Options > Thread Display Mode > Linear - Oldest First
I know.
It doesn't work that way. With that setting, I'm getting this as a link to the thread: http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread....5&goto=newpost
Remove everything after 2015 and it works like it should.
