Ok, happens for me too (in this forum). The threads past the threadreadcut are marked as read, the ones before the threadreadcut are marked unread with green arrow, and the green arrow leads to the first post. Going to the first post is actually correct for me, I have the green arrow here for forums that I never ever read (MyBB 1.2, Spanish, etc), so the first unread post is the first post. However it shouldn't display the arrow at all if I never read a thread (although it's possible that I used the 'mark all forums read' at one point).
Made a screenshot of the spanish forum:

Note how there are threads from today with 0 replies - yet they have a green arrow.

They don't need replies to be new.

Ok, why not for members?
Because those are stored on a better, internal threadsread and forumsread table.

I never doubted that.
So, the green arrow is something that is to be there for every unread thread, and not just for threads you read before but make it easy to continue reading starting from the first post you haven't seen yet?
Seems to be a misunderstanding on my part then, so never mind.

That's very short.
Well, this is the reason we have a setting to change that.

Not when you have hundreds of thousands of threads and tens of thousands of members.

That did it.
This can definitely be marked as bogus, then.
