Odd Behavior with Multi-page Forums

I have observed an odd behavior, when navigating multi-page forums.

As an example, I use the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum often, to link to helpful articles. It is, like most, a multi-page forum.

As the order of the articles will change, as new replies are added, I often need to navigate to multiple pages, to find the one that I need. My bookmark opens that forum onto Page 1, which is normal. I then scroll that page, looking for what I want. If it is not there, I will use either the Next, or the Page 2 buttons to move on. As I have scrolled to the bottom of Page 1, the Next (or Page 2) page will open at the bottom, rather than at the top, the first time that I do this. Pages 3, and above, will always open at the top. Also, if I go back to Page 2, it now opens at the top. I only see this, when going from Page 1, to Page 2, and then, only the first time. Odd, but no deal breaker, as I just manually scroll back to the top of Page 2, and then scroll down, looking for a particular article.

I am on Chrome and Win XP-Pro SP-3. I have not yet tried in IE 7 - my latest version.

Has anyone else experienced this little anomaly?

    I can confirm that if I use the [Next >] button the page stays scrolled to the bottom.  Choosing [Next >] again took me to the top of the items, NOT the top of the page.

    This is with Windows 7 x64 and IE9.

    Exactly the same here in Firefox/Mac (latest versions). In Safari/Win 7, from page 3 onwards I am taken to the Forum Comments title line, not to the top of the page either.

    I have never seen any indication of who reads the comments, but this page may be a better place, since it says it is for comments about the site

    Thanks John. I was unaware of that forum.

    Learned something new, and at my age...
