No wonder you can't replicate it...you can and are replicating it, but just haven't realized that it's complete counter-intuitive.
That did fall into the TLDR category for me I have to say. Now I read it, good grief. No wonder we have not got anywhere!

@ibobi, you are so wrong here:

"Remember, again -- the software cannot determine what *post* you read or did not read when last you visited. It will take you to the *page* that the next most recent post (since you last looked) resides on."

Did you want to have another go at it? Or ask someone else to look at it?
