Thank you all for taking the time to reply.
PpruneTowers:
I have re-visited my User CP but I can see nothing that might cure my problem. Could you give me a hint?
Prune Luver:
Before the site upgrade the utility did exactly as it said on the tin. In other words the thread opened at the first new post since the last time you logged in - very useful and eliminated a lot of fiddling about on active multi-paged threads. Since the upgrade this is no longer the case and it simply directs you to the last post in the thread which is in fact the function of the tick-mark to the right hand side of the thread title.
BOAC:
I think your explanation is correct. It seems to be a site related thing because another location which I visit has the same software and it works as intended. As I said, it is a small niggle in the grand scheme of things but if it isn't fixed I will gladly accept your offer and give you a reminder in a couple of weeks.
Regards to all.
