New Computer - Having problems with the Forum

Hello Fellow Podders!
Well for Christmas I got a new HP Pavilion g7 laptop that has Windows 8 on it! LOVE the Laptop!!!! Took a little while to learn the Windows 8 and I seem to be doing ok except, having problems looking @ "NEW POSTS" when I log in to the forum!
When I log in and go to "NEW POSTS" and go to one of the new posts and click on the "Show first unread post" it will take me anywhere from the beginning to the middle or page 3 of 6 of a long post! BUT NEVER to the FIRST unread post!!!!
I called the GEEK SQAUD and ask them if I had a setting set up wrong or what and they couldn't figure it out!!
It worked OK for me on my old computer with Windows XP (going to the first unread post), but this has got me stumped!
SO, is there anybody that had this problem, and figured it out or know of something that I'm doing wrong?
AND this is happening on both R-POD forums.... which makes me think I have something set up wrong!
ANY help in getting this solved will be greatly appreciated!!!

I've never used this function, but just tried it with my home laptop (Win XP) and clicked into one of the threads that was listed.  It left me at the top of the thread, not at the bottom where the latest post was.  I have 7 at work and will try it there next week.

Thanks for the help! I will try the Firefox for Chrome and see if that works!

I have consistently had problems getting the "Post Reply" function to work by simply typing into the box! I ALWAYS have to click on an emoticon before typing, then Reply will allow me to type!  However, the emoticon does not appear in the box when my reply has been accepted.

I checked my settings and the WYSIWYG setting is off. Has been since I joined the forum! Sigh I'm still trying different things! I'm sure I will stumble on something to get it fixed! Thanks for the info!
