Christopher, I have no idea why the new posts link behaved that way. We must be referring to different links, because that is not how it works for me. When I press the link it would take me directly to post 1055 in the situation you described. I think you might have been once again clicking the new posts link that's along the top menu instead of the one that's listed after the author of each thread, and the page numbers.
