I missed the plum background, still only seeing white.

The issue I'm having is, my settings are set to take me to the first unread message in an active thread. That isn't happening. It takes me to the last post in a thread. I didn't realise this was happening until the posts I was reading made no sense, or had a "quoted" post that I hadn't seen. I scrolled up, and sure enough, here's all these posts I hadn't seen. So, most of the time, I have to scroll up to read unread posts. It's becoming quite a pain in the proverbial.

I really wish they'd stop tinkering and fix the problems first, instead of trying to "improve" things.
