ABXZone "New Postings"

Whenever I click on one of the most recent postings that are on the home page, the post will open with the last page and the last post. This does not happen when I open the postings in the forum, but only when I open the new ones on the home page.
Why is this?
Thanks,
gtirr

The front page URLs use the "goto=newpost" modifier for the calling URL. This means vB will automatically send you to the newest post.
In a forum listing of threads, the name of the thread is a link to the first post of the thread, since if you click it you will probably want to read the thread from the start.

But, if you look in a forum listing of threads, you have at the far right of each thread link, in the 'Last post' column, an image of an arrow pointing to the right. Click that one and it will send you to the last post of the thread.

If there has been a recent post while you have been logged in here, there will be a similar arrow, but pointing down, next to the thread name in the forum listing. This one will take you to the newest post you haven't read in the thread.

I hope that explains it...
