Clicking on a thread to read positions the thread at the wrong place to start reading

Using MBP 2016, mac os 10.12.4, Chrome browser. Clicking on a thread to read, places the browser in the middle of the post to read, I always have to scroll up to start reading.

First picture shows what it does now, second photo shows what it should do, or somewhat close to that.

Is this a thread that you have visited in the past are are coming back to new posts, or is this a thread you have not read at all yet? Seems like I'm getting this on Chrome on Windows 7/10 but I'm thinking the browser remembers me reading the thread to a point and comes back to that same point if new posts are there.

Can't confirm that yet but will keep my eyes on it.

I have just tried it, and it's both thread I have read before (which go to the latest unread post but it's in the middle of the post so I can't read the beginning of it!), as well as new posts I have never read before, which goes to the first post as the pictures show, but at the middle or end of the post so I can read the beginning of the message.

Also since i have you, I see two other problems that I'll share here - I can't post in a new thread for some reason, I click on post new thread, it lets me, it lets me add a title, but the body of the message text box never starts a cursor to start typing - and if I type nothing happens. I thought it was something with consecutive posts as I had just added this thread, but I have 300+ posts. I add this problem here since I can post a new thread for some reason.

Also - if a user does Tools/Mark forum read, it does not refresh the thread list to show all threads as read now. The old forum site used to do that. I find myself wondering if the "Mark forum read" command worked or not, I have to manually refresh the browser page to see the result.
