Am I the only one with this problem?

When I click on the hightlighted icon for new posts (o), I used to jump directly to the new post. Lately I am being positioned at the top of the thread?

Hoovering above the (o) icon show the correct, named anchor (e.g. Post 44577 in the status line at the bottom of the FireFox window, but I end up at the thread start (e.g. X-Com Apocalypse...).

Internet Explorer works fine.

My current work-around is to open a second FireFox window and drag the (o) icon onto the second window. That way I get positioned at the new post.

in opera i have to right-click

Haven't tried with Opera, but the right-click is also what I have to use with Firefox to either open the new-post-link in a new window or a new tab.

Right now I am waiting for new post in order to check if this problem persists now that I have upgraded to Firefox 1.0 - but my hopes are not high 🙁

Nope - even with Firefox 1.0, I am still positioned at the start of the thread 🙁

Hmm - the problem seems to be with Javascript. If I disable Javascript in Firefox 1.0, I can get the jump-to-newest-post button to work. If I enable Javascript, the button puts me at the top of the thread.

Here is part of the forum code, that I think illustrates it:

<tr class="forumInfo"
onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#AAAAEE';this.style.cursor='pointer';"
onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';this.style.cursor='default';"
onclick="window.location.href='viewtopic.php?t=6683&highlight=';">

<td class="nBR"
style="width : 28px; height : 28px; vertical-align : middle; text-align : center;">
<a href="viewtopic.php?p=46380#46380"><img src="templates/vogons/images/useful.png"
alt="No new posts" style="border : 0 none;" /></a>
</td>

<td class="nBL" style="text-align : left;">
<a href="viewtopic.php?t=6683&highlight=">0.62 bugs overview</a>
</td>

<td><a href="viewforum.php?f=31">DOSBox General</a></td>
<td style="font-size : 10px;"><a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=395">Qbix</a></td>
<td>45</td>
<td>4455</td>
<td style="font-size : 10px;">Wed 17. Nov, 2004 18:27<br />
<a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4692">zorach</a>
</td>
</tr>

Seems like the Javascript associated with the onClick event for the table row ("window.location.href='viewtopic.php?t=6683&highlight=';") is overriding the link associated with the button ("viewtopic.php?p=46380#46380").

@robertmo - how does your Opera react if you disable Javascript?
