I probably should have said it always goes to post 1. Sometimes they do that. But the particular thread I was talking about when I posted this (and incorrectly said post 1) is below. This one always opens to post 16. Actually it's a pretty funny post though...
To open, I just click on the thread title. Most of the time this takes me to the first unread post. A small amount of times it takes me to post one and sometimes it takes me to a random post.
