When I click on a topic on the main page I know it goes to the last place I viewed, but now when i click on a topic it goes all the way back to a few pages ago, even though I have viewed posts later on than that.
I probably have not explained myself very well at all so I apologise for that, but its really annoying me cos I keep having to read through loads of posts to find where I was whereas before I would just go straight to the last post I had viewed. Is this just me or anyone else having this problem and what can I do to resolve it.

Someone explained why it does it to me, to go to the last page you have to go into the forum and click "last page" I think, whereas if you click the thread title (and not actually go into the forum, if that makes sense) it goes back several pages.

On main RYL welcome page - Click on FORUMS ,
Then click on QUICK LINKS , a drop down menu will appear & from this menu I usually click on either Latest posts orSubscribed threads, That'll always bring me up to date & straight to the latest post of a particular thread clicking the blue arrow next to the latest poster (unless I choose to click on a lower number page for that thread of course).
Btw, I try not to use the back button on my browser when on this forum , as the browser does'nt automatically update with new imput on the previous page i viewed including the latest posts will stay the same "as viewed" & wont register that you've already read something..., However, a model railway forum I'm also a member of will automatically update a thread page upon using the browser back button.
The issue may also depend on what sort of web browsers etc we're using ? (Google Chrome, Mozilla firefox, explorer 8, etc) & if certain updates have been applied.

Can someone advise me how to apply my signature to my posts ? ..., as when I tried my pen scratched my PC screen.

I have the same problem as well. It's somewhat annoying and has resulted in me reading less threads as I can't be bothered scrolling through pages of posts I've already read to try and find where I was.
It's happening to me too, it seems to me that the first time you click the yellow arrow for a thread, it works, but after that when you click it, it brings you to the same point as the first time you clicked it.

I was having this problem on IE and switched to Firefox, works fine on there for me.
Every day the world is made a chance to change but i feel the same.
And I wonder why would i wait till i die to come alive?"

I was having this problem in IE9 and getting really frustrated so switched to Chrome and it's fine now. I googled it and it's a well documented problem with IE and forums.

I use Chrome and Firefox, and have this issue on both. The yellow arrow works the first time, but the following times it just brings me back to the same place.
