This bug was originally posted here, and it appears that it remains an issue. Tracking of new posts is really sporadic. Sometimes it takes you to the newest post, and sometimes it doesn't. Occasionally a thread will show 7 new posts when there is only 1, etc.
Overall the new post tracking is really not working the way it should be.
