Hi, sometimes I open a topic discussion and the page opens at the very bottom of the screen, below even the last conversation of that topic.

How can I adjust so that pages always open at the top, i.e., at the first post? Thank you

When **you** click on a topic title in the topic list, you’ll be taken to the first post that you haven’t read. This is very specific to **you** based on what posts you’ve already read in that topic.

If another user, who has a reading state that differs from yours, clicks on the same title, they’ll be taken to **their** latest unread post, again based on whatever posts they already have read.

What I’m getting at is that Discourse **does not** just take you to the “very bottom of the screen”, it only navigates to the latest post that the **current user** hasn’t read.
