When trying to read unread posts, taken to earlier in thread

For example,

... tapping on We’re pausing ‘Sell your phone’ took me to ...

That's much earlier in the thread than the unread messages. Noticed on a few other threads in the past as well.

Its a known and rather irritating bug.

There are at least two conditions that cause it:

if there aren't enough messages after the first unread message to fill the screen, you will always get an old unwanted message displayed above the correct first-unread message
if the first unread message is the last message in a thread and is soft-deleted, you will always get 10 old messages displayed

Any progress on fixing these two extremely irritating bugs?

yup it’s extremely irritating and happens many times other than those suggested by harrrrrry

often with long threads ... eg in the fitness thread I currently get sent to one about (now) 40 before the end every time, same post every time for the last week or so
sooo annoying cos that’s a lot of scrolling

just gave to wait for giffgaff to fix it I guess but it’s been like this since the new forum came in

harrrrrry In the case I cite, it's a lot more than that number.

I've found this, and yes it does seem to happen more with longer threads. Sometimes going back a page then returning ( in a desktop browser ) finds the right post but not always.
