It's weird.. it works most of the time, but once in a while, it just opens the first page of the thread.
Some people have posted a similar issue about the "New" button in the thread list in a subforum for a thread doing something similar. but no real resolution to it.
I noticed that when I open the forum in a new tab, it acts like some of the thread pointers get reset for me. For example, I clicked on Last Post for Kula's Litterbox, and it took me to the top of page 4. I hit back, and clicked it again, and I went to the top of page 5, etc until I got to page 13, afterwards, it took me to the last post on page 13.
I suspect they are having a bug in tracking the "recent" posts. The URL that you get when you hover over the Last Post thread links is something like "http://rantsrefugees.proboards.com/threads/recent/####" where the #### part is some number. This is apparently redirected to a different URL like "http://rantsrefugees.proboards.com/thread/####/thread-title-url?page=##&scrollTo=#####". Thus, there is some kind of internal mapping based on a stored pointer in their database that is not being properly returned on occasion.
I'll monitor it and if it continues to be an issue, I'll gather some more evidence and put in a support request for it.
