I've had some reports from my members that they are experiencing sporadic failings of the go to first unread post feature..
Seems prevalent on mobile & tapatalk, and only within a password protected subscriber forum.
Been through the templates and can't find anything, so I'm thinking it's possibly the way myBB handles passworded sub forums..
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it ?
Are you using the default theme?

Yep - well, my version of the default theme.
But it's not just on the theme (Default) - it happens across the mobile theme, a custom paid theme and also tapatalk.
[edit] the forumdisplay_thread_gotounread is unchanged from default
<a href="{$thread['newpostlink']}"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/jump.png" alt="{$lang->goto_first_unread}" title="{$lang->goto_first_unread}" /></a>

I have had this issue since upgrading to MyBB 1.8. It was more prevalent on Tapatalk rather than any other platform, so I took it to their forums, but no support was provided as it seemed I was alone in facing this issue.
Thank god ! I also thought it was just me !
I've gone through all the scripts and files, and everything is called as it should be, there's no reason I can see why to gotounread template isn't doing what it should...
Does it work correctly with the default theme? Do you have a test account someone can work with?

Regardless of which theme is used, this seems to be an issue. As per the OP - it's an intermittent issue so there's no guarantee that you'll see it if you log in via the desktop version of the forum. It almost always jumps back by a year on Tapatalk, though.
Without wishing to hi-jack the OP's thread, if you want to try and see if you can see the issue for yourself on my forum, details are as follows:
http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum
Username - mybbtest
Password - qwerty123
I can confirm it happens randomly with that testing account.
1. Provide a list of all active plugins.
2. Try turning all of them off in ACP -> Configuration -> General Configuration -> Disable All Plugins? -> set to Yes, Save and check if the issue still exists
3. Show result of running ACP -> Tools & Maintenance -> File Verification
But since both of you use Tapatalk, I'm quite sure that's the culprit..
In the tapatalk plugin, I noticed the code below..I'm by no means an expert, but with these CASE statements, shouldn't there be a "then" statement ?
case 'get_unread_topic':
case 'get_participated_topic':
case 'get_latest_topic':
$user_activity['activity'] = "search";
break;

Again, I don't wish to hi-jack the OP's thread, but the plugins I use on my forum are:
- Shows Avatar on Threadlist and Forumlist
- Board Announcements Manager
- Favourite Threads
- HTML in Posts
- Mood Manager
- Social Sites
- Tapatalk
- Thank You/Like System
- View Unread Posts
All of the results shown on the File Verification relate to /install/ directories and files being missing.
