Consider this
*You have a thread that has 400 posts
Member A viewed the thread when it was first starting so he has read the first ~110 posts. He then signed out for the night. He comes back the next day and wow, there are now 400 posts. Now all he has to do is click the link to go to 'first new post' which will take him to post 111. If you change it to always go to last post then he will have to go back a few pages to find where he left off.
