Some boards will retain that info and when I return it picks up where I left off

This board retains exactly the same navigation position (the last post number shown at the top of the list when viewing the board) that you were last at.

It is as simple as that. The navigation has no relation to the last post viewed.

If post No. 5006 was shown at the top of the list, and you leave and come back months later, you will still see post No. 5006 as the top of the list. Other new posts will later be below it, and you don’t automatically jump past them.

This is different to the former TMF board which paid attention to the lost read and re-navigated based on that. That was confusing also but we got used it to. There isn’t a perfect way and each has pros and cons. The way this board navigates is clean; you never miss a post as we did before (for example, before if you read just the last post - missing some earlier unread posts) and then leave, and arrive back - then the navigation location suddenly changed to only show just the post you viewed and earlier unread posts were missed. We got used to it, but that doesn’t mean it was as good as how this board works.

This board doesn’t even record which post you have read - I prefer the system to not know and like that fact also.

The green buttons with previous and next have the option to jump week by week. Now that we have some decent history, I will soon add options to jump by month and year also. ( And further down the track when the board has many tens of thousands of posts, there will be a nice reason to jump by decade also, so I’ll exceedingly look forward to adding that then! )
