Extremely misleading and irritating. Absolutely literal.

Definitely, in threaded view, you have no idea how many other posts you've missed. In linear view it may not be so bad...

    I do as does Kath.

    I wonder how many times the neighbouring Report Abuse is fired as an accidental shot when specific posts are being answered.

    While a last read post option would be perfect. It would be nice if in the meantime the "Last Post" would work more than half the time. It's a toss up as to whether it will take you to the last post or give you a 404 message.

    that's the reason i don't use threaded view. what a dumb concept on a web forum. why TRY mimic nntp's coolness when you're not going to implement it. the result of such attempts is usually FAIL.

    Agreed. I tried threaded view, couldn't make sense of it. Plus the ridiculous narrowing of posts.
