So it's like this... used to be that when I hit the 'submit reply' button on a thread, it would automatically take me to the post I just made.

But for the last couple of weeks, the forum instead hops me back to the previous page on the thread in question. Any idea why this is happening all of a sudden?

Testing the reply function.

probably should test this instead in a thread where the poster has not read previous replies (and is taken to the last read post)...

This is also happening to me as well. Just did in the pennies thread and did the other day in the photography thread.
