I noticed that also. It's behaved like that since the thread started. First couple of times I assumed I clicked wrong, but I always end up on the first post, first page. Cookie clearing has had no effect. One weird acting thread is no big deal, but could be a nuisance if the behavior spreads to other threads.
For me, there are no unread posts in that thread, so I can't check it out. I'm not sure I've seen that situation before, specifically acting that way on just one thread. There is a user setting that controls that, but I believe it is for all, not just something specific. Until I see a new post there, I can't check it out.
Alternatively, one should be able to click on the right-arrow icon on the right side to take you to the last post...you might have to back up a bit if there are multiple posts since your last thread visit.

In the thread Warning for all GS/A riders stay out of Starbuckswhenever I click on the little dot to go to new posts it always goes to the first post. Other threads work properly in this regard.
If I understand you correctly, you are at the Canpfire forum- looking at the thread title- see that the thread has developed into 2 page deal and you click on the little box at the far right of the title and information?
I don't check the forum that way myself.......the forum knows what you have looked at
Specifically log out- see the "all cookies cleared" message- don't re-log in from that page- start with a fresh login and try it again.

No, click on the circle with two down arrows in it directly in front of the first word in the thread title. It should take one to the latest new post.
Ok, I've never used the feature
Next time it happens, try the logout procedure I mentioned earlier. Some glitches appear when a Member stays logged it for months at a time depending how a browser is set.

It's a very handy feature.
For me, not using the View First Unread tool is like reading a book and not using a bookmark when I set the book down.
On a long thread it's hard to know where you stopped reading.

My process is click "new posts" then review the list. If I am following a thread when I see it there then I click the "go to last post" icon near the last post author's name. Once I have reviewed all those I am interested in then I click "mark forums read" under forum actions. That keeps "new posts" nice and tidy.

That's interesting, I do not have the icon at that location. For me it's next to View First Unread at the upper right and next to Thread Tool.
BTW, while View First Unread does not always work for me, it does work for me in the Starbucks Thread.
Update. I believe I figured out what was wrong...it was the smilie at the end of the title. It was creating a look-up requirement that the forum software couldn't handle. So, with the OP's go-ahead, I've deleted the smilie. When/if new posts are made to the thread, see if the icon to the left of the thread title takes you to the newest post. Report here if that fixed the problem!

Activity on that thread is slowing down, so I added a post for testing purposes.
Well, that worked for me! Took me right to your last post.
