maybe not too big of an issue, but I kinda HATE that clicking a thread title automatically sends you to the last post.
Usually on forums they have a like a new posts icon or similar that you click to do this, while clicking the title brings up the OP post.
Like I said, not too big of an issue. Almost every time I go to read a new topic, I'd like to start at the first post, and click the title by default because that's the way it is with 99% of other forums I've ever been to.
I'm actually quite surprised that anyone responded at all...
I just feel that being a community, it should be expected that we give our feedback, as long as it is done in a reasonable manner.
I personally don't imagine the site operators to immediately go and change something like this. Actually, I think there is a decent sized chance that they won't change it. I just want it to be know that I think it's an issue, and now that they are informed they can choose to act upon it.
If they use a pre-built, but modified, system for running the forums, I can see where it would get very annoying trying to figure out how to change something like this cleanly. As well, how many people using this forum actually like the way that it currently works? Would they start complaining if it was suddenly changed around?
Which means if there is a large enough portion of members who like how the system currently works, then any "fix" would have to be an option in the UserCP to allow them to choose which method they'd like to use, which is even messier.
Anyway, tl;dr for mods/admins, just my humble opinion, and wanting to know if this is intentional.
I would love there to be an option to go to the last post or to head to the first one. I don't care what the person said at the bottom of the page until I've read what the OP has to say.
The only problem is you're already on the page. You might as well just hit the home key on your keyboard, it's faster and just as effective.
Maybe, if simple enough, could they just have a little click icon in front of the topic name that goes to OP post? Like a little page with the number one on it?

@cavemaneca:
This bothers me too but I was afraid to complain about it at the risk of sounding pedantic.
Edit: Shallow and pedenatic.
Agreed.
ive learned just to click the page # of a thread so i dont get thrown to page X, though on a 1 page thread, your stuck at the bottom no matter what.

@Mienk:
What I do is just change the post number at the top for example this page is
http://forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/9245-forums-default-action/#p7
change it to
http://forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/9245-forums-default-action/#p1
