The <NEW> icon in the message index doesn't always take you to the right place, ususally too far down on the page.
It has always worked fine for me...

Probarbly is it scrolling down the page because you have already read the posts above it. And I never have had this problem either.
ah í've checked it out a bit more thourougly.. and now i see what causes it.. sometimes when the page loads, you are taken to the appropriate location on the page, even before all images have completed loading. Then the images cause the page to stretch out, so the initial position isn't right anymore.
