Likewise. This issue seems to be fairly persistent, and appear in seemingly random places.

If that is the case, then they should just disable the auto-merging! Having several consecutive posts by the same poster is way less annoying than this bug.

Any update on this? It happens for multiple posts towards the end of a thread and makes it very annoying to browse.

Seriously, any update on this?

This is massively annoying and lessens my desire to use these forums.

And if it is not ever going to be fixed, just say so.

Fully appreciate the annoyance! It will get fixed but it is a very tough one to debug. Basically we migrated the underlying database from mysql to mariadb, and some of the queries throw errors which are not fully trapped. I've fixed the vast majority but there are still a handful which are causing a couple of glitches, of which the worst one is the first unread issue.

Tracking it down is very difficult, as it is not consistent. It could very well be a couple of different things triggering it too. I've fixed a few things that I thought might be causing it but not nipped it completely so far.

On top of that, after each fix, I need to manually update the database records that were made erroneous by missing updates, which is always a risky job, so it needs me to be in top form and have the free time to do a full backup cycle either side of it which is why I can't just dive in until it is done!

It bugs me too - it will get fixed

Not sure if this is helpful, but I never use the First Unread button. I click on the last page number of a thread, and lately have been brought to a blank post page and then have to navigate back to the previous page number of the thread when that happens. The CSM thread linked above just did that to me because it's near the end of a page and the new page loaded blank.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

First unread link for me here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/720/802814.page#11385229 led to the top of page 25.
Looking back at end of page 24 here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/690/802814.page - I'm pretty sure my first unread link should have been: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/690/802814.page#11385229

Note - the hash of the relative url is correct, but the page it tried to show it on is not.

This happens often enough for me that I thought I'd point it out specifically - if my first unread take me to the top of a page, I often need to check the previous page for "missed" posts .

It seems pretty clear by now that nobody in a position to do anything (like turn off the auto-apend) cares.

It might not be as simple as turning off auto-append. I don't know anything about coding or the inner workings of a website, but I imagine that just "flicking the switch" on one thing might create more problems then it solves, if not done properly and with care.

Only 1 person runs the technical side of Dakka, so give Legoburner some time and I'm sure it'll all come up sweet.

Lego asked for us to provide examples when it happens so he can look into it - whether he's been able to finish going whack-a-mole on the bugs is anyone's guess, but it isn't like nothing is being done.

I don't want to turn a feature off when that won't fix the underlying problem, but this underlying bug is especially difficult to trace. The flood of links helps me build the pattern to find the ultimate cause and I am tinkering behind the scenes. It annoys me too and makes Dakka less useable for me as well, so it will get fixed!
