When viewing a thread if the 'View First Unread' link is clicked rather than taking you to the first unread post in the thread it takes you to the forum home page. Does anyone know what I need to look for or change to fix the problem?
Thanks

In your threadbit template, look for this
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
It should look like this:
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]" id="thread_gotonew_$thread[realthreadid]">
Check to make sure that link after the if condition is correct.

If the link is intact, check if you have any SEO/URL rewriting modifications. Disable these (remember to remove mod_rewrite rules).

I have Zoints SEO installed, is rewrite not good in general? Seems like it would be good for the site?
I do rewrite on, but is not problem to turn off..... would just like to know if it actually harms the site other than some functions not working.
Thanks

These kind of redirection issues usually stem from an incorrectly coded URL rewriting modification. I am not saying they are bad, just some of them are not written correctly.

Is there anyway to tell what might need correcting so that it can be fixed?

If you know how mod_rewrite works - look through the rewrite rules and see what they rewrite to.
